JBL 43xx va Harbeth 40.x


I owned a pair of Harbeth 40.1, and recently listened to a pair of JBL 4343.  While I really like the Harbeth, I also like the JBL very much.  To the best of its own, the JBL sounds more dynamic, more lively, and bigger slam at the bass.  The Harbeth is one word - smooth.  
I think for vocal, Harbeth wins.  But JBL will be able to play all kinds of music, I feel.  What do people think comparing them?  Which one do you prefer and why?

I did some more listening, and this time compared the JBL L300.  The L300 is home hi-fi version of 4333.  At the beginning, I thought it will sound similar to the 4344.  At the beginning, I feel, ok, same JBL kind of sound.  Than we switch to 4344.  We played the “She Never Knew Me” by Don Williams.  After a couple notes of the vocal, me and my friend both turn our head and look at each other with a shock.  It is huge different between the L300 and 4344.  The 4344 is much smoother and softer.  

Then I went home and test my Harbeth again with the same songs.  I can say my Harbeth sounds thinking, or having more density.  But that 4344 is no where bright or fatiguing.
What would be perfect is to be able to own several speakers and rotate them in and out.Maggies,Spacials,Klipsch,JBLs,Harbeths,etc.Each brand has something special that the other ones don't offer.No fair that we have to decide on one:-)
