Harbeth P3 vs KEF LS50W

About to pull the trigger on ls50w but I'm also interested in a used pair of Harbeth 3 or maybe 7.. How would you compare them with ls50w?

I don't have any amp for the moment but if I decide and find the Harbeths, I would maybe look for a used LFD zero.. I live in an apartment, the living room is about 5 x 3.5m.

How does the ls50w sound with low volume playing?

Please give me all the details about these speakers!

I’ve never listened to the Kef,so I can’t comment on it. I own the P3 and have owned the 7. The p3 will work better in your size room. Here is a nice review on the P3. BTW, I have owned many LS3/5A type of speakers and the Harbeth is my favorite!

Thanks for reply.

The P3 sounds to be a real gem!

I Hope anyone else can chime in on comparison with ls50w as well..

Thank you so much for the mini review, very nice to read! It seems really that both speakers does a really good job.

My question though, was  ti compare the active version of the KEF speaker ls50W to the P3. I have an opertunity to listen to the KEFs soon, but the Harbeth is to long travel for me...
