Hello OP,
No doubt that these 2 brands will sound different. Is the Harbeth clearly superior? To some yes and to others no. Each will offer particular strengths, and each will have inherent compromises.
What type of sound and music presentation are you truly trying to achieve ? You could very well prefer the Harbeth depending on your objectives and long-term outlook.
The Chorus/Cornwall on the other hand may have certain virtues and attributes that the Harbeth cannot equal or perhaps even come close to.
So the ultimate question is what is it you really want from a speaker ?
