So, do you have 40.2's and are considering trading up to 40.3 XD?
I talked to Fidelis AV (Harbeth's NA distributor) a few months ago... and at that time, they said the two speakers are very similar, but they hadn't spent enough time with the XD's to be able to nail down the differences. That leads me to believe they are very similar... so I'd stick with 40.2's, unless you need to have the latest / greatest.
I can tell you from first hand experience that the 40.2 Anni's are considerably more detailed and transparent than the 40.1's... so I'd find it hard to believe the 40.3"XD" can be much more detailed than their 40.2 predecessor.
