Harbeth 7es2 vs Harbeth 7es3


I'm curious to what difference these speakers have. I researched a Harbeth 7es2 for sale. The seller claimed the woofer was replaced with the woofer from the Harbeth 7es3 by a dealer and the dealer claims the woofer speakers are identical with both models. Any input would be appreciated.

a much tighter, seemingly lower bass, for one.
also an increase in clarity.
definitely noticeable.
I've heard both. I favor the 7-ES2. Even though they are older, I feel the sound is more accurate, with zero listening fatigue and midrange to die for. The 7-ES3 is great too, but perhaps is adding some coloration in the lower frequencies. Both generations are examples of how fine, monitor-style loudspeakers should be engineered. If you have superior recordings in your collection of music, you will want to listen all day long.
Having lived with both speakers, the C7es3 is clearly an improvement over the C7es2. However, that said, if i already own a C7es2, i would leave it as it.
Both speakers are great & either one is very very satisfactory.
Agree with Nolitan. However, if you love your present gear and stands, and the 7's are working great in your present room, I could easily see trading up to the 7-3's... The increase in clarity, bass extension and tightness would definitely pay for itself in the long term. And definitely have a great stand for either- skylans or Wayne Taylor's.
They are noticeably better than the 7-2's.
"Accurate" is highly subjective .
I'm wondering if posting to these old threads will generate a response?  at any rate, ,  here goes.   What about having the choice to buy either a  7-2  or 7-3 used and being I've yet to have Harbeth and this would be my first purchase I am inclined to go for the latest iteration with hoped for overall improvements .
