As @akg_ca states, Harbeth’s are built with flexible speaker walls designed to resonate. It’s the whole idea…not to dampen things. it makes the speakers rich and lively sounding. Not necessarily accurate but more like approximation of sounds of live music. Thus, a non-rigid stand is in keeping with the design approach. |
