Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?

Owned everything under 80k. 3 pair of 40.1, getting 40.2. They are magic. Have to own them, demo won't do it. Listen to most speakers and you get itchy, time to go. 40.1 you sit there and sit there waiting for the next song. 2 hours go past, your late, but you want to stay. Magic.

"Owned everything under 80K" Really 899bk or do you mean you have HEARD? And if you mean heard, again, really?

my guess is dynamically a bit restrained. they are good but not totally accurate imo

Never owned Harbeth speakers, but every time I've heard them, they sound tonally right. I like that.

Mapman, I haven't heard Ohm speakers since the days of Tech hi-fi. At the time I thought they were great but I really didn't have any reference points. It would be interesting to hear a refurbished pair today.
