| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following Question for Harbeth experts out there:Are the two way models as good with vocal clarity as the 3-way models? I heard 40.2 over the weekend with some very elaborate Conrad Johnson amplification driving them. Vocal clarity and detail ( Donna Godcha... | |
| Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr? I was just at a dealer listening to the big Harbeth 40.2 this morning off a very impressive CJ amp combo. Very nice!

| Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement Dep yes and I still have a pair running out on my deck for many years that sound better than ever off a good modern Class D amp (Bel Canto ref10000m fed from ARC sp16 tube preamp). | |

| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? +1 transient response is a proper technical term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_response "fast" is slang. | |
| Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement Look for a pair of used Realistic Minimus 7s. | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Fast with a speaker for me refers to low distortion resulting from minimal time lag due to inertia between signal and movement of the transducers as would be expected with a good combo of stronger magnets, precision machining and assembly of parts... |
