CD318 when does it not come down to personal preference , I guess when you are needing a professional system for specific reasons , so in my case it is a personal preference of sound of "life " over the Harbeth sound .BTW , I can make my Klipsch sound very much like my Harbeth by placing a towel or light blanket over the horn .It's similar in difference between high humidity and dry climate .One suppresses you and the other lifts you up , inspires you .The Klipsch inspires me as does the Sedona climate .I grew up in high humidity , I know the difference .
Yes , I read all the
adjectives
placed on the Harbeth which is one reason I bought them . When it comes to music , I need to go with emotions over mind , after all , music is an emotion experience .
Please do not be offended by what I wrote , my Klipsch inspired my to write this as I am listening to them right now lol
