Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?


I've looked far and wide especially for bookshelf speakers with prominent full mids and a lush sound. So far the only name that comes up is harbeth. Maybe Sonus faber but are there other speakers that have similar tone but are made by a different company?

The Nola Boxer is a wonderful speaker. I agree with @larryi that they are often overlooked.

If you're looking for the BBC sound, I agree with Big_Greg, the Sterling LS3/6 is hard to beat.  I own the Harbeth M40.1 and the Sterling LS3/6, both are great speakers.  The M40.1s work well in a big room and because they need a lot of space.  The LS3/6 works well in mid sized rooms.  I use to own Harbeth SLH5 speakers and I like the LS3/6 quite a bit more.  

I also vote for VA and another brand we don’t hear much about lately is meridian, they have a nice midrange tame tweeter and good bass, self powered though.

@steve59 bought a used haydn grand, its coming.

I am also going to get a pair of Gato- FM8 to try.

Darko's recent review of the buchardt s400 mk2 makes me want to also try s300 mk2.
