I wonder if anyone has listened to ProAc D38 and Harbeth HL40.1? Which is a better speaker and which one would suits more with Audio Research VT100iii? Thanks.
Ha, lol, Buconero, partial to British sound? Harbeth "is" the british sound (BBC and all) compared to Proacs. And Nolitan, if he wants a bigger sound, let him try the 40's. All this yammering about....we know what you own, quit pushing it on the poor guy and let him decide on his own.
I have sold both and both have ability to perform with their own strengths in musicality
After all is said and done I think the Harbeth is at its best with a good solid state power amp like a Bryston Jeff Rowland Pass etc and the Proac which was voiced with Audio Research as a reference at its best with tubes or well designed solid state. Best Johnnyr
May I suggest the D28 over the two. The HL40.1 & D38 are big speakers and I think the transaction from SHL5 may cheat you (from the size perspective). If you become used to the minimonitors, the HL40.1 may have a negative impact at you (providing of course the same room). I had the D38 & D28 and I assure you they differ only at the ability to load the room with low freq. although I admit that I personaly prefer the newer of the two : D28 (clearer & dissapears more effective). It is the safer for you to arrange an audition between Harbeth & Proac. Their personalities are way different & becomes obvious the one you like from the first second.
