Where did you go after Harbeth?

It's interesting to hear from you guys. On my side, I'm pretty happy with my Harbeth SHL5 but I'm thinking of a speaker that can be powered by SET (300B, 2A3, 845, 211, etc.). So it must be more sensitive. For sure, I want to keep the sound as natural and non-fatiguing as possible and like the Harbeth, I want an excellent balance, even at low volume.

To Hornsystem, may I ask you if you are refering to a specific horn model? I have not heard many horn speakers in my like. A good friend of mine have a pair of Klipsch Cornwall II amplified with Bottlehead 2A3 and it's not very much in my taste. I found the music very colored vs. the Harbeth.

I very easily moved on from the Harbeth 40.1's ....I NEVER looked back

Hi Garebear,

Which speaker allows you to "...NEVER looked back..." and what does it bring to you that the M40.1 didn't?

To Seattlehifi:

Regarding your "...former Harbeth owners...", from which Harbeth speaker do they move to the Penaudio Cenya. Because I took a look at the design of the Cenya and it reminds me of the Harbeth P3ESR and the woofer seem to be like the Joseph Audio one.

Sebastien, you've replaced your gear more than anyone I'm familiar with. I thought about suggesting that you spend a lot of time on your decision but I enjoy following you through your journey to your final destination, if there is one. You've owned some gear that I would love to own, such as your time with Luxman. I think your next step should be massive mono blocks. I don't think you'd be happy with flea watt amps and sensitive speakers. You might want to look into Pass Labs and go that route. My personal opinion would be to build a relationship with some local shops in your area.Good luck and let us know.
