Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5


Has anybody heard both the Harbeth 40.3 and the Graham LS5/5
i think the 40.3 has a more pronounced mid range - but i would live to hear thoughts if someone has heard both these speakers.

I recently dropped some money on a nice lampizator dac, absolare integrated amp, and some good cables, having first spent big money on the LS5/5s earlier this year. The LS5/5s are like a giant clear window into the rest of the system. You’ll enjoy them with merely very good gear like I did for a while, but they are almost overwhelmingly invisible and real with a clean very powerful signal in a good room. Truly full-range and very ‘alive’ without fatigue. No second guessing.

hard questions are absolutely allowed, and welcome... though convenient and good answers may be hard to come by

the following review may help a bit... as i mentioned earlier, the modern iteration of the spendor sp100 is the closest analog to the ls5/5 by graham, minus the vertical face slots... (i currently have the prior gen sp100 r2 and i had the mon 40.1 in the past, i would say this review is reasonably on target)

I listened to the Spendor Classic 100 in an excellent dealer's system (in the UK) and know the 40.2's well.  This is not a direct orange-to-orange comparison, because the 40.2's were followed by the Anniversary and now the 40.3XD.  I found the Spendor's slightly more muscular and vigorous, but would have been more than happy to own them.  Same afternoon compared with Spendor D series and for me the Classic's were head and shoulders better.  Like I said, no experience of Graham, more's the pity.
Sorry , but for my money I'd buy the British built ATC SCM50 SL passive classic series speakers, for 20K.
Hi @alucard19 - appreciate your pov. Have u heard the Ls5/5 and the Harbeths as well ?
