Which Harbeths for 14x35x12 living/kitchen space?


If I am using a Music Reference RM-9, approximately 100 wpc, which Harbeth can handle a space this large, without using subs? If subs are used?

The room is a living room adjoining a kitchen, for a long open space.

Thanks

Hm, seems like my first attempt did not post.

Joeinid,

This weekend I drove to Phoenix and bought Frank's flawless Proac 2.5s. I had not thought I'd ever find a good pair, and that's when I started looking at other speakers ;to replace the One SCs for my larger house. Harbeth was the only speaker I felt was better than the Proac, possibly a little more refined, smoother, and with more resolution. But I do love the Proacs' voicing and musicality. When this pair became available I pulled out the stops to get them, and just brought them home Monday. I have not been able to set them up yet, but expect them to fill my large space nicely, and plan to get a sub as well. So though it would have been nice to get some Harbeths, the expense was going to be a factor, and I was able to afford the 2.5s now. I'm pretty content.

Thanks for asking,

Jim
Good for you, your happy and that's what counts. Not a big fan of subs. If you need sub with your speakers, than frankly you got the wrong speaker. Harbeths, yes their ok, sound a little to polite for me and don't hate me I think their overpriced.
Joejoe,

I don't see them as overpriced. They seem like a bargain compared to Wilson or Magico.
