Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not

Peter,

Are are the new Harbeth 40.2’s your new forever speakers?

@joeinid 
Yes, as far as I can conclusively say right now.
It's too difficult to say I'll be happy with them forever.  Someday I might hear something I like better and switch them out.  Maybe the next gen of 40's will outdo these.  But it's safe to say I will be hanging onto these for a good while.  
I'm very interested in the Tannoy line of speakers, particularly the Westminster and Canterbury models.  I once had the pleasure of hearing Westminsters while I lived in Japan and to this day I've never heard anything so transparent and real.  
I can see buying a pair of them someday if I ever have the perfect room for them.  I can see putting them in a common living area where they don't look out of place.  They are so large they really do require the right size room.  And they are works of art in themselves.  The cabinets are beautifully made.  Very intriguing to me.  

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much. I appreciate your thoughts. I sold a pair of 40.1 with the intention of getting 40.2 but after a few pairs of speakers, I now have Avantgarde Duo XD. Way different sound but I do love them.

Have a very happy and healthy new year.

Joe

Those Avantgarde speakers look pretty cool.  I could never rock those in my listening space but they are beautiful.  

Thank you.

They are fun for sure. I’m considering a pair of 30.2 Anniversary for fun. The 40.2 are probably too big for my space.
