| Harbeth 40.3 XD versus Harbeth 40.2 I hear ya Rox, The 40 series were way too big for the room so I opted for a pair of SHL5+'s and have them sitting on B&W 8"subs. I think the sound quality, especially mid range drivers are phenomenal.Not sure that the price jump from the 5's t... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XD versus Harbeth 40.2 And the Super Duper Duper Duper 40.5’s might just shake the ground you walk on. It wouldn’t be bad if Harbeth published the changes but they seem to leave their upgrades without technical specifics, just price increases. pdreher does make a point,... | |

| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? You can get them from an authorized EU retailer and they are much more reasonably priced. The Anniversary editions are marked up quite a bit and the only published difference other than cosmetics is higher quality connectors and wiring. The soul c... | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? If you can find them I would look around for a pair of Harbeth SHL5+ and pair them up with a decent sub or pair of subs. The Harbeths should come in around 3-4K. Best midrange and super tweeter speaker for the money coupled with a sub commit aroun... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! Maybe a good start is to clean the 10kg of wax out of your ears. Seriously though, speaker positioning and finding the sweet spot is usually free of charge. | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker I’m a little confused over what actually categorizes boutique branding and price will play a big factor in the level of engineering that goes into the design of a good speaker system. The type of music genre you are trying to accommodate as well a... | |
