I have owned a few different Harbeth’s. The original SHL5, the original 40, the 30th Anniversary SHL5 and the SHL5+. In every case I found the older versions more musical than the updated versions. The newer versions may have been more accurate but they were not as enjoyable to listen to.

I have gone back to Vandersteen speakers. This is just my opinion and not a knock on Harbeth as I spent 10 years listening to the various models. YMMV and your ears should be your decision makers. Good Luck!
I agree with @yogiboy on the Harbeths.  I have had both the original P3 and the anniversary edition, and I far preferred the original.  The anniversary edition just didn't captivate me the way that the originals did.  They weren't bad speakers, but they didn't have the magic I heard with the original P3s.  
I agree with you guys but here is the kicker is Harbeth better than Rogers 70th anniversary?
@kw6
How can there be a 70th anniversary of a speaker that was introduced in 1975?  Sounds very fishy!
