I own the SHL5 40th anniversary, they replaced 7es 3's. They will be the last speakers I own. If you've read the TAS and Stereophile reviews you have a pretty good idea what these speakers can do. I can't add anymore superlatives. I listen to classic rock, pop, jazz and classical at moderate volume, rarely over 80 dB. As others have said, these are not speakers for heavy metal. I alternate between a Luxman Integrated and Cayin Integrated.
Harbeth Super HL5+...thoughts
I’m currently awaiting our home to complete construction. During that time, I sold off my Dynaudio C4’s and BHK monoblocks. Loved the sound, but I also had a rather large, dedicated, listening space. In our new home, I’ll have an office, but on the smaller scale. I picked up a set of Pass Labs xa60.5’s and Harbeth Super HL5’s. I’ve read numerous glowing reviews, from many that write about audio products for a living. Was wondering if anyone that owns the HL5+ would share their “pedestrian” experiences.
