cd318, interesting as usual. I've been reading some old papers on the evolution of BBC monitors from the 50's through the 80's. The designers and engineers had to argue with the top dogs trying to build state of the art and best sounding speakers they could. The accountants saying it didn't matter since 90% of the public used garbage speakers anyway and they argued their's needed to be better than the 10% who didn't. Interesting that Shaw used his daughter's voice as some monitors were not designed for music but voice and effect work. Some for use in those old small broadcast vans.
Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not
I've owned my Harbeth 40.1's for about 4 years and absolutely LOVE them.
The only speakers I've considered replacing them with are the 40.2's, and while I've dreamed of getting a pair, I really never felt like I needed anything more than the 40.1's. They are SO good!
Well, after a great year for my business along with a great opportunity to buy a pair of 40.2 Anniversary model speakers, I've decided to pull the trigger.
I'm posting this mostly because I can hardly contain my excitement and wanted to share it with you, but I'm also looking for feedback from others who've made this same move.
Everything I've read about the 40.2 model has been overwhelmingly good. I do not expect to be disappointed.
Thanks!
