Neat Ultimatum MFS vs Totem Mani 2
I just remembered one case when I was visiting shop,just to listen Dynaudio,the salesman instead of listening dynaudio confidence c4 was listening Neat speakers,very pleasant sounding speakers,especially bass. 
Speakers for Luxman 550 AII
I don't agree abaut bass of Harbeth shl5,for me it very well defined,not booming,it provides real bass of intruments and not energy of port pumping the air(many speakers do that and I consider wrong presentation of bass). 
Bryston & Harbeths - Good Match?
Harbeths mates very well with quality mosfet amps till 150w (that is the biggest reason for positive feedbacks from Luxman,LfD and ohter similar amps owners) ,not so powerfull like your bryston.It might be killer amp for harbeth. 
Harbeth shl5 upgrade over spendor s8e?
Harbeths musicality is addictive.Once you fall in love,in love forever:) Yes they are neutral. 
B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ??
dynaudio speakers are more revealing than B&W with diamonds ,especialy i high freqeuncies. 
Question for Harbeth Owners
You can expect sweeter sound.I use no name copper speaker wires,for my taste it suits the best.As for amp I would go with high quality mos-fet amps(Lfd,Accupahe,Luxman .I am using Technics Se-a3000,Su-c3000 ) As for speaker placement I prefer near... 
B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4
is C1 capable of separating,defining intruments during the orchestra,rock band play withuot sound compression ? 
Harbeth SHL5
Absolutely agree with Jabas opinion.And I really prefer bass output and quality of SHL5 against many other much more expensive speakers. 
Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III
I scaned part of SHL5 the manual,which shows how to place speakers from side walls and front wall, i think recommendation for 7es is very similar .Manual 
Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music
NO NO NO.Krell and Harbeths don't work together.I have Krell kav500i,connected several times to shl5.The sound was awful 
Dynaudio C1, why so expensive?
in my opipion,these baffles is being made for simple reasons such as aesthetics , to stand out from other speakers and in order to avoid cases of counterfeiting 
Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III
both speakers are great,but offer different sound presentation.As owner of Harbeth super shl5 and Contour s1.4 i say my ears prefer sound of harbeth .For that reason i am planning sell S1.4 .I never heard C1,but heard c4.Harbeth sound musical,dyna... 
Dynaudio C1, why so expensive?
We have to remember that dynaudio is made in Denmark where working power is quite expensive. 
Dynaudio Contour S3.4 or Dynaudio Focus 360?
No,you need real juice real power to drive Dynaudio.My opion this is not very good combo.What i noticed is -people ,who own Nad and Dynaudio combos, tends to sell Dynaudio sooner or later.I bought countor s1.4 from the guy who was using Nad gear. 
What speakers use SEAS or SEAS-sourced drivers?
Harbeth SHL5 using 1” SEAS aluminum-dometweeter, 0.8” SEAS titanium dome
