Harbeth M30 vs. Super HL5

Does anyone have experience comparing and contrasting these two speakers? Will the M30s with a good subwoofer outperform the Super HL5? Thanks!

Harbeth is a great speaker and IMHO the true inheritor of the old BBC tradition once exemplified by Spendor and Rogers as well. BTW, may I borrow your kids for a couple of hours when I go speaker auditioning? :)

I realize that there will always be some play in numbers, but I am curious as to where does a room start getting too big for M30 and thus enough for HL5?
