Are Harbeth P3ESR's Any Different From B&W???


Been reading a lot about how good these are lately.I've always loved the midrange that B&W speakers have,something about those Kevlar drivers just sounds amazing to me.Problem is never liked the high's,again,something about those metal tweeters just sound zippy to my ears.So I'm wondering,even though the midrange might me magical on the baby Harbeth's,with that metal dome tweeter are they going to be any different from the B&W's(magical midrange,bright highs)?Thanks much,take care...

Consider Sonus Faber and Dynaudio too. Most non fatiguing but somewhat laid back (compared to B&W) that I have heard. Vienna Acoustics isn't too bad either.
The Harbeths use a metal tweeter as well, they just roll it off a little more than B&W does.

If you are looking to smooth things out up top look at some of the soft dome tweeter choices - Spendor, PMC etc.
The Harbeths have better midrange than B&W in my opinion, but the B&W's will play louder.
