Hmm. Let's see. There may be a handful of these in the US. Or maybe just 2 pair, the ones you're taking about and those used by REG of TAS as his reference. Professor Greene seems to believe that they are very very good. They are also very very large but require abot 10 inch stands (or higher if you sit high, but let's not get into that). I would love to hear them. I assume they have that Harbeth musicality and the clearest midrange in the world with greater extension top and bottom. They retail for about $6500, and some people say they are as good as the very best. I havent had the pleasure of hearing or comparing them. If you dont want them, I'd be happy to take them off your hands. I'll even pay for shipping.
Simply Music in Nova Scotia is the North America distributor, and they are a featured Audiogon dealer too. They gave me the impression at CES (in the Audiogon room) that there will be a Harbeth push in the U.S. this year. I'd love to hear them too.
I, like the preceeding responses, would love to hear these speakers, but alas they are very few in this country, at this time. I also have been led to believe that this may change soon.

So hopefully we will all get a chance to hear some of their line soon.
