Hard to find/audition but worth it in my opinion . Would works well is a room your... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Sunnyjim you are of course entitled to you opinion that the Harbeths are unfairly priced. In my case as I honestly preferred the $5695 M30.1s (UK made and imported thus causing inevitable extra costs to the US consumer) to the $26k (US made) Magic... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Hello Sunnyjim. the M30.1s have always been $5695$6390 (per pair, depending on finish)I've personally never seen them advertised as anything else. Now that you know the correct price.I hope you'll be able to judge them a little differently. | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Sunnyjim quote:'like the 30.1 for $12,000 plus' where did you see that price!!?? | |
| Starting afresh with a Linn Sondek LP12... With the Sondek as source. Naim amps of a similar vintage ( which can still be serviced) along with either Linn or Naim speakers ( Sara or SBL's) etc that can be put against back wall would make for a classic 'flat earth' system great for classic ... | |

| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? Andrew, They are actually quite small. Smaller for example than my Harbeth M30 ( or M30.1s ) on Skylan stands. But the active version go down to near 20Hz.Due to the way they work ( trying to remove the room) they have the best chance to performin... | |

| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? As both a long term owner and admirer of both Harbeth M30 and M40.1s (owned for over 10 years combined) with a room a little larger than yours ( 16' x 14'. I'd recommend you try to listen to Gradient Revolutions . I've owned a pair of the active v... | |
