Hm, seems like my first attempt did not post.
Joeinid,
This weekend I drove to Phoenix and bought Frank's flawless Proac 2.5s. I had not thought I'd ever find a good pair, and that's when I started looking at other speakers ;to replace the One SCs for my larger house. Harbeth was the only speaker I felt was better than the Proac, possibly a little more refined, smoother, and with more resolution. But I do love the Proacs' voicing and musicality. When this pair became available I pulled out the stops to get them, and just brought them home Monday. I have not been able to set them up yet, but expect them to fill my large space nicely, and plan to get a sub as well. So though it would have been nice to get some Harbeths, the expense was going to be a factor, and I was able to afford the 2.5s now. I'm pretty content.
Thanks for asking,
Jim
