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.

Drubin. You got the Super HL5's and haven't told us what you think???? Perhaps it is because you are still breaking them in. Don't leave us in the dark--I have high hopes for you and those puppies.

Relative to the thread: Yeah, Harbeth's rock in their own understaded sort of way. If you want speakers for dance parties I'd look elsewhere.
I have the C7s and I think they are great for rock.

I have a sub and actually plug the front port of the C7s with a piece of foam for integration purposes with a sub and because I like a thinner midbass. Take for instance the Doors' Morisson Hotel- the keyboards and guitar just glisten the way I want them to.
I guess I should be more informitive. I like the sound to be polite. I don't want it hyped up at all. certainly not the treble area. I want good tight bass. It doesn't have to move my trousers. Just accurate and true sound. If it is a bad recording and sounds like crap, I can live with that. I certainly don't want to own a pair of speakers that will color the fact that it is a bad recording. When I purposely listen to a bad recording, it is for the music not the recording.
I am just trying to find a pair of speakers that I will be happy with for the next 10 to 20 years.
I listen to other types of music also. Just mostly 70's rock though.
I want the sound to be true, polite, and be stable. I don't want tweeter fatigue.
