With all due respect, and as much as I love the Harbeth P3ESR, I don't think it can satisfy a demand for a "big full sound" in view of its 4-inch woofer and circa 7-liter enclosure and therefore limited bass extension.
The newly revised ATC SCM19 has a bass/mid driver with more than twice the frontal area of the P3ESR, and an enclosure almost 300% larger. Very nice, room-filling bass (but not deep bass from the bottom octave).
Each speaker weighs about 35 pounds.
