These speakers have their devotees to be sure, but it looks like a lot of people are falling OUT of love with them. It's a trend I've noticed here on Audiogon. Opinions?
Banerjba I own harbeth and dynaudio.Dynaudio shines at loud listening levels.More punchier sound compared to harbeths,bigger sound impression.Addictive sound
I agree with Banerjba every word. I'm addicted to dynamic and plan to build room for Wilson, but until then I'm planning to enjoy my time with Harbeth. I just order Super HLS5+
harbeth are not overpriced at all compared to wilson audio, magico, ect. they may seem overpriced compared to revel f208/f206. anyone compared a harbeth to a revel f206/208? they are quite pricey but imo offer very special qualities. The only reason I dont have a harbeth is bass issue: not a fan of that cabinet.
