People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s....

I upgraded to jbl 4367

I think the Coherent Audio line is speakers is a distinct upgrade in sonics from Harbeth.

They offer a Tannoy-esque coaxial driver arrangement, with a horn loaded tweeter inside the woofer that offers up a sensitivity of 96db.

Tube amplification will mate better with this speaker than anything Harbeth makes. So if that’s  important to you, I think taking a closer look at the Coherent GR10 or GR12 is very important.

Oh, and they’re literally half the price of Harbeths!

@dhcod He’s got a new website which lists all of his current models!

I would imagine the gr15 competes with Harbeth 40.2 but I do not believe the gr10 or gr12 do. They cost $2500/$3500 Canadian vs Harbeth prices (which is a lot more!) so regardless of performance considerations, you have to keep in mind value you’re getting with Coherent.

As for how the coherent handle rock: they make music easier to listen to than my Jbl 4367. I actually prefer how the midrange sounds on the Coherent gr12. Kind of crazy considering the gr12 is $3400 vs $21000 of the JBL 4367. 

I fed them with a pass labs amp/pre, schiit yggdrasil and top of the line pioneer stable platter system. pretty sure it was more than up to the task. how about you pull your head out of your ass?
