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

@desktopguy, I feel the same way about Harbeth speakers as some petrolheads feel about certain makes of car - just got have a pair one day regardless of whether I keep them or not. 

@radiohead99

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. 

Holy ****, Pull your head out of your ***. I couldn't even stomach reading all the post. Let me guess, you hooked up some inexpensive source and expected the excellent Harbeth to improve the sound of a crappy source. Should have done your research my friend. Harbeth are very true to the source. Whether it be the cables, the amp or pre, the player or turntable or even if its just a **** recoding, if you feed Harbeth's Crap....You hear Crap.....Feed them good source and the Harbeth will shine. No added dynamics... No added anything. Just honest sound

I can’t figure out who inspired jethro1964’s rant.

Someone hasn’t had his morning coffee? ;-)

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?
