Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following

Possible: First speakers owned.
Also possible just crazy, and fixated on them.
I 'like' J.B.Lansing, as those were MY first big speakers.
Then I also love The 1980's Infinity with Emims. And Magnepan.
I also like various products of Audio Research..
I despise some other products.. which I would not even bother to name.
And have a love/hate towards Sony, and Counterpoint.

I am new to harbeth, only three months I have to say that. I had listened
More records than ever, its the first time that. I experience a musical system.
Yes I have luxman 550 A I I matching, I bought it based on harbeth uk forums, no regrets, the cult is based on what you hear pure music, no color or unrealistic dynamics as close as live performace that you can get.

I owned before DAli helicons 800 mk2
Nola boxer
Linn accurate etc

Harbeth compact 7ES3 all about music, wondering why took me so long to give them a chance, lot of money and time saved....

Retro is all the rage Mr

Well Taters don't keep us in suspense, what did you buy that was so much better ?

It's the thin wall technology. It colors the speakers but in a way that appeals to many people.

Harbeth are my favorite English speakers but my current speakers are much more neutral and to my ears in every way better.

IMHO it's best to add a smidgen of coloration (if that's your bag) at the amp rather than the speaker.
