I have owned both C7ES2 and C7ES3, they are quite different in balance. The ES2 is much more laid back in perspective with the treble sounding a bit muted. The ES3 is more neutrally balanced and lively sounding, a much better speaker IMO.
An upgrade ? From Sonus Faber to Harberh speaker
Hi fellow audiogon forumers. Of late, I scouted an used Harbeth C7ES2 speaker. Was wondering if this would be ideal to replace my 17 years old Sonus Faber Concertino Domus ?
Generally , I listen to vocals, jazz, classical and few new age music, warm and musical at low volume listening are my preference.
I have read through some past review on Audiogon and other websites. C7ES2 is a mostly acceptable and recognised full range speaker.
If you have similar path experience, would like to hear your advise and sharing.
Cheers

Well, I would observe more ... on C7ES3 version then |
@rsf507 Interesting...May I know why Harbeth is not recommended in your opinion? What about ATC bookshelves passive speakers like SCM 7, SCM 11 , etc |
