I have rega brio-R’s (dual mono set up) and rega saturn to test these two speakers on. Lived with the Harbeths for over 6 months so very familiar with its sound. Got the Rega’s a few days ago. Initial impressions The Harbeth has amazing tonal qualities which sound accurate not only in the midrange but […]

Few days ago I bought Marantz PM14 and it’s connected to Harbeth C7ES3 speakers. Prior to marantz I had Rega Brio-R which is still in my opinion one of the most increadible deals in hifi – especially if you listen to jazz and acoustic music. Back to Marantz – you can tell that it has […]

An old thread but still worth a few minutes of your time I suggest. I am thinking about a foray into tube amplification; never been there before. I will be driving a pair of Harbeth Compact 7es3. I listen to classical, jazz, acoustic, and rock- 80% cd, 20% vinyl. I would like to keep the […]
I’m looking for speakers for my 2nd system. Both are British Made speakers and both almost have the same price. about $5-6k If I’m not wrong. I have BAT VK-60 tube amp. So which one should I buy. Need your Honest opinion. Thanks. Dip in and out HERE
I’ve bought from Harbeth the P3ESR and I ask myself if I should buy another amplifier. My listening room is about 9m² and I do not play loud! What do you think about the brand LFD MKIII. Now I use a Marantz Pearl Lite. Shall I stay at Marantz or consider an LFD Zero LE […]
Jeff Dorgay writes ….. Sometime back in the early 80’s Roger Van Oech wrote a book titled A Whack on the Side of the Head focusing on creative solutions to problems that one might not have considered without being taken outside of their comfort zone. The new Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 is the perfect example of […]
Hi All, Not posted for a while, been distracted from Hi Fi for a bit ! Just wondering if anyone has any views on the EAR 834 integrated, particularly with the Harbs as above ? It certainly looks pretty ! Thx. Continues HERE
From a few years back, but still relevant we feel. A few days ago I stumbled upon a website from a company in Norway called Maxwell Sound System that states on their website that they have permission to custom produce Harbeth speakers. The page says that these speakers – and I quote- ‘are exclusively made […]
Because this is my first post on this forum I’d like to say hello from Romania to all the fans of Harbeth! I have discovered this site few times ago, looking for some Harbeth speakers to replace my Spendors S8e. I’d like to hear SHL 5 or Compact 7 ES-3. Unfortunately, I have no possibility […]

Editor’s note: This US-based thread kicked off in 2015 and has seen quite a bit of action since. I took a look this morning (15/02/19) and there is in my view worthwhile content there and so my suggestion is that it’s worth a look. Neil / editor ================= Ive heard kef ls 50 and will […]

From the Harbeth archives; the thread starts …. News of the launch of a Dr Who loudspeaker by the BBC’s highly-profitable commercial arm, begs the question as to what defines a BBC speaker these days. Once the three initials B B C ensured credibility and assured performance. The plastic, and doubtless China-made, “Tardis” speaker is […]
Any suggestions for budget amps that work with C7s? I’m sending my Joule Stargates in for a service next month and will need a replacement amp while they’re away. I need to spend under $1000. Maybe one of the Pass Alephs? Or budget low power tubes? I’m using only 18wpc now. I don’t listen very […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: The opinions expressed below here do not necessarily reflect those of our editorial team – just in case you wondered. Neil. ================= I have, what some may consider, an unhealthy obsession with small speakers. Over the past 25 years I have gone from Kans to IBL’s, and that’s about it. I have tried […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: The opinions expressed below here do not necessarily reflect those of our editorial team – just in case you wondered. Neil. hi all, just wondered which speaker cables would suit the harbeth p3esr, i have been using van den hul 352, but they seem very dull and very bassy, i next tried chord […]
Hi. I heard this speaker recently and the slightly rolled off highs are pleasant to listen to on most recordings. However, one thing seemed to bother me – piano notes seem fat and thick. This seems in contrast to more neutral speakers like Dynaudio where the treble is more extended, rendering piano notes more […]
From the AudioKarma forum: I thought I’d post this mini review I was asked to do on another forum about a comparison of these two competing mini monitors, I know some members here will be interested. I own both so I have no axe to grind when making these comparisons, each has its own virtues […]
“I’ve had these speakers for a few years now. Currently I am powering them with a vintage Mcintosh 2155 150 watt solid state amp. I’ve always wished they were a little quitter and like I said there’s a quality that hurts my ears. Besides that they sound very good. Articulate and smooth otherwise. Has anyone […]
I have been considering the purchase of a pair of P3-ESR speakers. I currently own a pair of ’93 HL-P3s in good condition with new genuine Harbeth supplied grilles. What sort of price could I expect to get for these ? Please click HERE to continue reading.
A member of the Harbeth user group writes: For anyone interested in partnering their Harbeth M30.1 with a subwoofer, I’ve done some theoretical design simulations to see what sort of combined response might be achieved. The M30.1 has a quoted –3 dB low-frequency cut-off point of 50 Hz. For the purposes of the simulations, I […]
Hello Alan and thank you for finding the time to respond to the following question: Why is there such diversity between audiophile values and the audio engineering establishment’s values? “This can be explained by an almost total lack of appreciation that physics – basic high school physics – governs every single aspect of audio bar […]
