| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… If you like the Harbeth 40.3, check out the Graham LS5/5. Same BBC heritage and similar but not identical sound. You might like one more than the other. | |

| Looking for recommendations Talk to Bob Howard. He handles blue jeans and iconoclast. Great guy. Iconoclast might be the upgrade you’re looking for. Free home trial. | |
| Racks, equipment and footers Thanks for the suggestions! I’m going to check out Core and Massif. Lots of good recommendations and they look really well built. Not inexpensive, but good considering the quality and materials. Then I can use whatever footers are most effective. ... | |
