JBL 43xx va Harbeth 40.x
Here's a response  that's kind of fits into the thread.I had the Harbeth C7s  for a year    as I put away my Klipsch  KG5.2 .That's all I listened to  were the Harbeth  and they were nice , I guess .Then  I dragged   out my old Klipsch    and , wo... 
What makes a DAC so expensive?
"As I've said before, the proliferation of costly high-end DACs is a clever marketing ploy to snare the gullible and unwary who conflate performance with price"That's closer to the truth , the capitalism  comment comes in second  
What is ideal dimension size for a home listening room?
Considering  people doing "near field Listening " , having speakers a few feet from you , I doubt size matters . Just make sure  you've taken care of  bouncing sound  
Klipsch Heresy 4?
mjcmt  , yup , you got it  right about Huff  , it's really just entertainment .I find it really funny when some one buys something based on their review like one of Huff's .I am sure he's a good guy , just do not buy in to his hype  
What do/did you do for a living?

avanti1960  , interesting , those are the reasons I like the F3 ;) nasal, highly colored quality of the vocals and the lack of imaging and sound stage depth

Here's an idea ,   everyone should have a pair of Harbeth as a sound base line , to compare all other speakers to ., You know , reference  speakers , that kind of redefines the term " reference speaker "The boring neutral sounding Harbeth  used as...

Besides , the non fatiguing I keep reading about  , "you can listen to them all day"  kind of thing  , I  could not do that with the Harbeth or any speaker , 1.5 hours of music is all I can stand, then I need some quiet  , when it  comes to TV  ,...

Sorry  to write , the Harbeths were a waste of time , other than just having the experience of knowing the " unfatiguing character "  is another way of saying "boring" .     Who ever came up with the description " not fatiguing "  was trying to ...

JBhiller , I think you were a little offended , your response sort of suggest it .

I see my 1 glass of wine- long winded response  may of had nothing to do with  your question , other than my personal search for a better sound  from a  supposedly  better hi end speaker actually lead me back to a  much lower end speaker   that  h...
