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

@d2girls  Have you heard Coherent Audio Speakers? Which Coherent model do you think compete with Harbeth 40.2? Do you think Coherent Audio speaker is good for rock music like JBL 4367 is?

@d2girls Thanks for your helpful response. Do you own both the GR12 and JBL? Is there anywhere to audition the Coherent Audio speaker in US?

I’ve found out easier to listen to midrange often don’t have the dynamic contrast and punch for rock music. For example, Devore Super 9. It has propulsive bass but a bit flat sounding for rock. But the midrange to die for.

Do you think the GR12 has the dynamics punch and grunt for rock compare to JBL? And the GR12 would be better for rock compare to the Harbeth sound? It’s safe to assume both Harbeth and Coherent Audio speaker makes average quality rock recording listenable?

Btw, max tricked out GR12 can be close to $6k.

Also, for a room of size 17'x12' Harbeth or GR12/15 would suit better? From your post, JBL 4367 seems very small room friendly. However, the humongous size gives me pause.
