Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ?


Just reading so much good write ups on the Harbeth speaker lines I was wondering if they will work for rock music.

Not quite.The best British rock speaker is Epos with Naim / Exposure amplifier.
Hello!

I would say yes(I used to have HL P3 es2 & 7ES2. Now Monitor 30) if you use it with subwoofer.
However, it's too good to listen to Rock, dance & metal music with this.(I am using JM lab 926 for those kind of music.) Also, Harbeth doesn't produce such tight & focused bass and Ear bleeding treble. It tends to produce all kinds of music very mellow, listenable & naturally.(She is like Meryl Strip(Spell???) not Brun Hilda...)

If you listen to Rock music mainly, I suggest buying other types of speakers such as JBL having 12inch woofers, etc.

Hope this helpful & happy listening!

Yep, Epos and also ATC speakers are great with rock music. IMHO, I disagree with JM Labs ear-bleed speakers being good with rock music. At least on the rock music I listen to.
I am breaking in a pair of the Super HL5's. My early sense is that they are quite versatile and are fine for rock. If I listened primarily to rock, I might not choose them, but then I would not have chosen the Quads, Avalons, Spendors, ProAcs, Theils and Ref 3As that have spent time in my systems over the past decades. Well, maybe the Thiels and ProAcs.
