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

@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

I’ve owned several Harbeth speakers and I have found the Chartwell L6s to be better in a small-room low-volume situation. The rear port gives them a bit of a bump on the bottom, that sounds very pleasing at lower volumes. Excellent all-around speaker within its size limitations. I really like them.

@auronthas a very close friend had a pr of Harbeth's so have had a chance to listen to then often and they never got my foot tappin. He as well didn't get along with them and since sold them.
