Current or Previous Harbeth Owners…


For those of us that have had or currently have, are there other speakers you’ve listened to that you found sounded “better”?  I’m eyeing stepping into a set of 40.2 or 40.3’s, but am also willing to step in a different direction.  I realize “better” is subjective, but a speaker that does what Harbeth does, but better.  

I have a set of Pass Labs XA100.5’s, FWIW.

+1 @gryphongryph  I would also add that very few speakers do vocals like the BBC speakers. I would love to own the bigger Grahams some day. When I first heard them, I preferred them over Harbeth 40.2. However, I think 40.3 has closed the gap considerably. 

Yes voices are marvelous too, of course if one is more to heavy metal or elecronica then other speakers will fair better.

I don’t think I will ever get rid of my ls5/9 except maybe for the Graham LS5/5, but I have to win the lottery first 😂

I had Super HL5 found them a bit boring. I currently have Dynaudio Heritage Specials, best tweeters I’ve ever had 

Those are great speakers for sure, Dynaudio are known for liking power, what amp are you using?

Has anyone compared the Harbeth 30.2Xd to the B&W 805 D3 or D4? If so, I’d be interested in hearing your candid opinion. I’m currently running a CJ Classic 62se amp.
