| 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,... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XD versus Harbeth 40.2 If there is a significant difference between the 40.1 and the 40.2 then why would you assume that the 40.3’s would be less significant? If you haven’t heard them, well you know what Felix said about assuming things. Just sayin. | |

| 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 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. | |

The type of music genre you are trying to accommodate as well a... | |

| Really need some help finding a full range speaker Naturally it is dependent upon the area you want to cover and the room acoustics. Try and demo a pair of Harbeth Super HL5 Plus. You won’t be disappointed. | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? The Charlie Parker Story, Savoy MG has to be by far the poorest compilation and engineered recording ever produced. Shorts and excerpts of tracks that have been cut and dubbed to the point I only keep it for the soul purpose of setting up my turnt... | |

| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I'm in a 12x12 and using Aperion Grand Verus Towers. Man I love'm!
