In Reply to: a speaker almost two grand less than the 30.1 posted by mbnx01 on June 28, 2015 at 13:30:40:
The 30.1 is about $5600 these days, so the difference is only $1400. The 2/3 is the same dimensions as the Compact 7. I've heard both of these speakers (on the some day in the same store but in different rooms). The Spendor is more full and romantic sounding but not as fast and clear. The Spendor requires less power. Its sound is more immediately relaxed and appealing, but once my ears adjusted to the Harbeth's, I was hooked on the clarity and harmonic rightness. Marketing aside, there are good reasons the Harbeth are popular and can sell at a somewhat inflated price. Compared to many audiophile products (e.g. $10k interconnects), these speakers are a pretty rational investment. There are better bargains out there, for sure (I would choose JM Reynaud Bliss Silver at $2700 over either the Harbeth or Spendor), but I don't see why people get so up in arms about Harbeth prices.
