In Reply to: RE: About to purchase Harbeth Monitor 30s from outside of the USA...speak now or forever hold your peace. posted by middleground on March 30, 2014 at 15:00:43:
For my increasingly meager Shekels, Harbeth's P3ESR--within its limitations--is a gem; while at the same time, both the 40 and the 40.1 seemed to me to be exercises in big-assed 1970s studio-sound nostalgia.
As I wrote in Stereophile at the time, I cranked up the 40s on Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat" title track so loud that they probably heard it in Connecticut, and it was great, but, it was a trip in Mr. Peabody's WABAC Machine--pure nostalgia for a time that perhaps never was.
I don't have the time and nobody is paying me to explain the square/cube "size effect" law one more time, but, I think it explains your sense of Nothingburgerness, which, although I don't agree with, I understand and respect.
And, if you heard the same laughable setup I did, that goes double. Or more than double.
Speakers on chairs?
