| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Yea I have heard both spatial and Harbeth 40.1 and presentation is much different but both were very good with midrange when I heard them. I’d be Very careful judging solely on You Tube. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 40.1 seem designed for larger rooms and yes far out from walls. I’d start with the smaller Harbeths in that room.Buy used and don’t overpay or buy new with return policy if you want to keep your options open. | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! Fat or muddy bass obscures detail in the midrange which then also negatively affects imaging.

| Anybody want a laugh? I think that when spending beaucoup bucks on a hifi, people figure a couple hundred extra on a router with noise management as a design focus, regardless of actual merit, is not a big deal. An insurance policy at worst. Again, there are some I kno... | |
| Why perfect speakers dont exist the truth revealed Less talk, more action. But I won’t keep my fingers crossed. | |
| Why perfect speakers dont exist the truth revealed Ok so let him build it. Then we can talk. | |
