Harbeth question: Which speakers to keep?

Ed, how would you compare those three models you mention, particularly the Model 30 vs. the Super HL5?

The HL5 has more bass than the 30, but the cabinet is bigger so no surprise there. The 30 tweeter, while initially sounding a bit laid back, is really quite refined. Definitely a big step up from 7ES. I'd probably take the 30s myself, though if running w/o a Sub, the HL5s are probably the better choice. Either are really musical and have a lot to offer, with sound that belies their (humble) looks.

Thanks

don't trade in anything...those ls 3/5's and the p3's are destined to be the speakers harbeth will be remembered for.if you get bigger ones,keep those anyway.

thanks for the opinions. I do love this web site.

Whatever you do, keep the ls3/5a. Best do as Jrd suggests.
