SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3


I am considering either one of these two speakers. A used Guarneri does not cost much more than a new Harbeth 7ES3. I listen to a lot of Jazz, vocal, strings, country. All of my electronics is EAR (except for a Shindo preamp). Any recommendations from people who've tried both? Thanks.

That is a good question. Sitting here listening to them...they sound amazing...maybe I should just get a subwoofer. I have been thinking about getting a pair of Amanti Homages...very hard to find.
I hate it when other people chime in and offer opinions on, and make recommendations for, products other then what the OP is asking about!

Its is nice to see no one doing so in this thread!

(Try the Verity Audio Parsifal Monitors - they beat out the SF G's, IMO)

Don, If you need more bass, I suggest a sub. Usually in a small room the G's have sufficient bass, but in a larger room, then a sub that is fast and as accurate as possible, is the way to go. I personally don't really like the A's as much as the G's in an average to smaller room. In a big room, the A's are more recommendable but I still prefer the G's with a good sub.
John, the Verity Pasifals are beaten solidly by the G's IMHO, not in the bass I would agree; but the Verities do not have the midrange magic of the G's nor the high end
smoothness. Personally I don't even like them as much as the Harbeth's!
After trying many different subs from $500 to $3K, I finally matched my SF GH with a REL T-2. The right sub makes quite a big difference and I am thinking of getting a second T-2 to even out some room modes.
Daveyf, My room is large enough where it needs some more bass....I like it deep and textured. Midrange and highs are amazing...not sure anything else I have had can touch this level of performance and pleasure to the ears. I would say if I had some more bass performance this would be about perfect for my ears.

As1963, Just curious have you tried any JL Audio subs? Was thinking about two F-110's. I'll have to look into the T-2.
