Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner


Hello All. I am considering a new system and after listening to the Harbeth 30.2's with Rogue Electronics I thought I was sold. Recently, however, I heard the Sonner Legato Duo's and was quite impressed. Since the Sonners have been compared to the Vandersteen Cleo CT's I am now planning to give the Cleos a listen too. Is anyone in a position to comment on how these speakers compare?

@audioconnection gsal - awesome system, I have heard every single bit you mentioned ( except the Legacy sub ) all stellar by themselves and must make a hyper musical system. I will look at your system pics, but i am guessing some HRS isolation is next....
@tomic601 ,
Great point.
I put my preamp and subs on Townshend platforms and bars.
IMHO, it 'tightened' up the sound, especially the bass.-Just a clearer/cleaner sound.
I want to add some Pods to my monoblocks, but they are so dang heavy...

And, to throw fat to the fire.
The new AQ power cords are really something. John Rutan recommends starting with Source and working your way down.

Mudbone - I see from a  prior post that you owned the Rethm Braava as well. I've heard both the Braava and the Sonner Legato (Unum, not the Duo) at the NY Audio Show and CAF and found them to be very different in their presentation. The Braava threw a huge soundstage but sounded slightly soft on transients and rolled off on the top end, the Sonner more dynamic and a bit bright and less full in the midrange. I also heard the Sonner Allegro with a SET amp with a similar sonic signature. Does this match up to your experience with these two? Also, did you compare the Sonner  Duo with the Unum? It would seem reasonable that with the additional bass driver and larger cabinet that the Duo would have a more fleshed out mid and lower bass response.
