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?

Ok guys, thinking of using lower power SET amps. Any warmer high sensitivity speakers you'd recommend?

While I have Harbeth 30.2 XDs, I have to agree with the earlier posts that so much of the sound depends on the other elements of your system. When I upgraded to my Koetsu, the experience changed. Same thing happened when I changed my phono stage and once again with a recent amplifier and preamp switch. 

 

At each stage, the Harbeths have been up to the task and continue to bring me a great deal of pleasure with each LP I play.

@thr1961 you have a wonderful selection of gear. I’m looking for ARC Ref 160M’s because I think they’d do well with my Wilson Sasha’s and my other room with Harbeth. Hoping to score a preowned pair. 
Out of curiosity, where did you get the Palmer 2.5i? I’ve been scouring the market for that turntable. It’s the most beautiful table I’ve seen.
