Hi, if you where looking for the Harbeth, you should put on your list the spendor Classic 100, they are really great speaker and very well spoken. Both speakers (Mágico and Sonus) are great speakers. Speed is one of the things you get with the M... 
Advice needed re: new CD player purchase
Hi,I know your budget is 5K, at this level I would try and get a second hand Esoteric SACD/CD like the K-07X or go for a Marantz SACD.The SA-KI Rubi is a great machine for the price but no XLR and is within your budget.Hope it helpsFilipe
