Harbeth vs Proac

Harbeths are ugly as sin. I've heard their mid's are to die for (with the right gear) but are thin in the bass. That's not what I wanted in a speaker. I dont listen to a lot of classical either. So, for that reason, I went with the Proac D2s (plus the dealer I auditioned the Proacs at said harbeths didn't sell well there so they stopped carrying them).

Just as well as I love the Proac sound and their bass response is brilliant. They play rock like I expected and more. I'll have the D2s around for a while....

I appreciate the responses. As usual everyone has a opinion and I need to listen for myself. I will have to travel to hear proacs. Some of the commentary about 7's being better than the much more expensive 30's is troubling. But it's not the first time I have heard that either.
I will be using the speaker with s/s in my home theater. Occasionally I get kicked out of the listening room (the living room)and get sent to the basement with the home theater and if that's going to be the case I need to upgrade my front speakers. It's a fairly large room 20x25.
Thanks

Some of the commentary about 7's being better than the much more expensive 30's is troubling.

The M30 design is more for studio use while 7's for home use, as I understand it, not that the M30's can't sound good in a home. Just understand each ones design and purpose before being too troubled. Go to the Harbeth user forums and post some questions about each model.
