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?
i believe @secretguy has maggies a great speaker for sure, but a different kettle of fish than harbeths not that this makes his put-down on harbeths cool if taken seriously... quite the contrary,,, but we will focus on his emoji ... think his comment is just a jokey pokey...

glad you are lovin’ the sp100’s... a great speaker that pushes the right buttons for us is just priceless ... so much listening pleasure!! as for @secretguy ... well we all have good days and bad days, you and me included for sure ... 😆 happy listening... |
I'm in the Reynaud camp here and have been for 20 years. I think Harbeth's are better than Spendors (less boring) but Reynaud's have a special quality especially models w an external tweeter (though Bliss Silvers are beautiful too.). Dali, Sonus Faber, DeVore, Audio Note, Nola - there are probably others - reside on the warmer part of the spectrum. I for one do not like speakers with metal drivers. As far as Harbeth's I think they are best w classical music where their "bloom" adds richness to vocals and acoustic instruments but wouldn't be where I would go if you liked modern overly processed pop music (though a new Lana Del Rey cd would sound amazing. |
