Harbeth 40.1 - Need some tips on placement from current owners.


Love to hear some tips on ideal placement. I have a 19 x 24 foot room with the speakers on the short wall. Normal 8 foot ceiling. They will be on carpet over concrete. I am thinking of bringing them out 7 feet from the wall behind them. What about nearfield listening? Toe-in if any? Love to hear some comments. Thanks all.

Pdreher, oh my why don't folks talk about these speakers more! What a revelation! So rich and full bodied with all the details of the finest speaker, but not thrust at you! 

I love them. 8 feet from the wall behind them, 7.5 feet apart center to center, and I sit 9 feet back from the front plane of the speakers. 

Slight toe in. They remind me of my Soundlab M1 speakers. No kidding. They fill the room with rich, full bodied music. Effortless and with a ton depth. 



at this price point there a lot of good sounding speakers to choose from--spendor,atc,proac.All british which come  to my mind:)
To speak abaut this paticular speakers,somebody must own or have some experience.I understand your joy to share this joy with music lovers:) 
This is true. I have owned many speakers through the years and these are so utterly different in a pleasant way. They do need a large room and some work to dial in. Once set up properly with the right gear, they are very special.
