In Reply to: Are Spendors "working-man" Harbeths'? posted by Eldragon on May 17, 2015 at 16:39:55:
I own the S8e and love them. I preferred them to anything at or near the price when I bought them new but I did not hear Harbeth at the time. First time I heard Harbeth was two years ago at an audio exhibit. The Monitor 30.1. WOW. Such musical speakers! You have to hear these magical speakers. I don't know how they get such a sound from these little boxes. To me they sound more detailed, are faster and more dynamic than any Spendors I ever heard. Herbeth and Spendor may have the same BBC folklore pedigree but they do not sound the same to me. Both Harbeth and Spendor are great brands. You have to hear them both before buying. If you go for a used Spendor Se series, I would go for the S8e. It is the sweet spot in the range. But it does not sound like Harbeth.
