I sell both. The Harbeth p3esr is $2195 in rosewood and is superb but won't play as loud as the 718s or have as much bass. The 718 goes for $2800 so in both cases you get your moneys worth. If you can stretch financially the Harbeth compact 7 es 3 is one of the best values in a loud speaker at $3500 a pair it will make you one satisfied audiophile. Plenty of bass plus the un-compromised superior vocals only Harbeths have. Few speakers are it's equal especially for your taste in music.
All the Harbeths will do vocals better than nearly any other speaker.
If you were to tie in a sub or two with the P3ESR you can make them an amazing speaker system that can play loud.

Give me a call if you want some help.

Neal,
Great comments,
If you step up to the Super HL5 vs the P3ESR/sub or Compact 7es3 do you end up with a better end result?
I know the newer 7es3 and P3esr both are the latest models.
(I don't mean to divert this thread and you can email me if need be).
Thanks,
Bill
Hello,

Neal speak straight words--Harbeths are the way to go-- don't even bother with the Ushers--Iv'e heard them at numerous CES/Asian shows/etc --one of those transducers you leave the room after 1-2 minutes!
