Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr?

I moved them  from 32 inches away from back wall to 16 inches from back wall with slight toe in.
Sound more natural. Maybe in my room, needs
reinforcement from wall to get more mid bass
response. Without that, maybe sound too bright 
Have maybe 60 hrs on them
Maybe need more run in
Maybe my ears just aren’t that discriminating 

When I bought my first pair of P3s they struck me as being a tad bright. I am now on my 3rd pair including the newer 40th anniversary model. There is something about them that just sounds right compared to the many other speakers that I have owned over the years. They just might grow on you like they did with me!

I don’t find it atypical to find a new pair of speakers goving an impression of brightness . Since you can’t return and 60 hrs IME is not long enough to make an objective impression, work on what you can, placement spacing, toe-in and talk to owners, plenty here and elsewhere. These are popular monitors and considered by some the best iteration of the LS3/5. At the end of the day you may not like them. Maybe your ears ARE that discriminating and they end up not being your cup of tea, there is no right or wrong only you’re engaged in the music or not.

Who says the Needle Doctor is out of business?

I suspect some kind of internet BS!

Facebook scuttlebutt seems to show something amiss over at Needle Doctor. If true, a big loss for audio community.
