Calling Harbeths 40.1 owners

I use them in a room pretty much the same size on the short wall also. (14.5' X 19.5') I also moved up from the SHL5s. They will work in your room. However it has taken me awhile to get them dialed in. At first I was not happy with the move from the SHL5s. They are a different sounding speaker, and not as warm as the 5s. Audition if you can, but they will work in your room.

40.1 are not the same warm sound so make sure to audition.

I've always wanted to try these speakers but afraid that they might be a bit more bass output which can lead to boominess. Can someone clarify how's the bass output of the M40.1 is ?

Thanks Tom, Great to heat that it fits your room. Could you share your placement method with us? Have you done any sound treatments? Some reviews are saying they could have too much bass but others are saying its bass is life like? I am hoping they will surpass the HL5 in that area, a bit more life like and more dynamic. I don't mind if they are not as warm as I used Thiels before and I also like them.

By the way, Tom, I went through some of your threads and found out we have a very simular HIFI path! Our room's size; being an ex-Thiels lovers and now moving from HL5 to M40.1!! You're surely having much more experience than me and more of a devotee. I live in Sydney and we don't have Harbeth dealers. I would love to hear if someone in Sydney owns one of these?
