Harbeth vs JM Reynaud
Pani, I have heard the same thing about ATC speakers. I would like to audition the speakers but I don't know any dealers around me that carry them. Obviously Dynaudio and Harbeth are more popular but I really don't care about that. I just want the... 
Harbeth vs JM Reynaud
I thought the reason people buy Harbeth speakers is because they are warm and colored sounding. When I was looking for speakers about 4 years I auditioned the 7's, 5's and 30's. I decided on Dynaudio C-1's because they sounded more accurate to me ... 
Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"?

Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"?

Magnepan 1.7 to 3.7i or Pass Labs XA60.5 to X100.5
The best advice is to go with a good sub or perhaps a pair of subs. That is going to give you the best results. 
Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?
Murphy the cat, I am not saying Wilson or Magico is a rip off. I am just saying that Harbeth is a bargain compared to Wilson or Magico.

Mapman, you make an excellent comment that I had not thought of before. You said they gear towards having one sound so they can appeal to the masses. That is great insight on your part. 
My system sounds great.
Yogi boy, I had the same experience as you. Luckily it didn't take a lot of time to figure out tubes were the ticket.

Yes, unfortunately it can.
