RE: And another insanely priced Harbeth speaker

Hey Mbnx:

I can see why it may seem prices are getting a bit crazy on Harbeths.

However, have you heard the 30.1? I have, and it was really, really impressive.

I see hear a bunch of posters saying you can do as well or better for a lot less money...I really don't think so.

And the Compact 7 is still $3500 I went over to a buddy of mine who has them and we played some jazz for a few hours and I have to tell you what I heard was so natural sounding, so fatigue free, so tonally pure. Amplification was McIntosh, cables were QED and Kimber.

And as many posters here have pointed out, this is hand crafted, low volume product.

Also, Harbeth is one of the rare companies that design and produce their own drivers. They don't churn models.

Lastly, the 30 and 40 series are used in recording studios all around the world.
