Harbeth P3 vs KEF LS50W

Thanks for reply.

The P3 sounds to be a real gem!

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

I used to own both.  I posted some thoughts in this thread:

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...

From other reviews I've read people who've heard both prefer the active version  if you do decide to go active check into the Airpulse model 1  as well.  I've been meaning to do a follow up review on these as I've owned them now for a little over a month but and these are just excellent all around speakers,,especially at their price point - over 1k less than the LS 50' with a 60 day money back guarantee and would imagine very close sonically as well.

I finally decided to go with a pair of used Harbeth P3esr.. Sound wise perhaps the Kef speakers is better for me, in my room etc, but I really am attracted towards the Harbeths, the design appeal to me, the KEFs colors I don't like at all. Of course sound comes first but the P3 I think isn't a bad speaker of all reviews I read and have experience with 30.1.

I also was thinking IF I do want to go with something different later on, I think I don't loose that much money on Harbeths.

Now I have to find a good amp to them and possible a DAC as well..
I noticed Rega has released an updated version of the Brio-r amp. Have you listened to it yet?
