Harbelth HL5plus

I am looking to replace a vintage pair of Spendor SP-1s and have been looking at Harbeth HL5 plus as they seem to be a more modern version of the Spendor.  I listened to a a pair recently and found the imaging and upper end quite beautiful, but found the lower end a bit lacking.  The retailer explained it away as the speakers had not yet been broken in,  Are there any Harbeth owners out there who can comment on the bass response?
Thanks

I did see the review, but was surprised by what I heard at the dealer; he even had an LFD amplifier driving the speakers.  But they were fresh out of the box.  Definitely will need to hear them again.  Its interesting you mentioned the D7; as I am interested to audition them as well.  Sadly there are not many Spendor dealers nearby; will need to plan a road trip. I hear they pair well with my Leben amplifier.
Thanks for the feedback.
