I'm getting old. I've been thinking about replacing my Harbeth C7es3s with something more dynamic like a PMC or Dynaudio standmount. Maybe it's that my ears aren't hearing the upper ranges as much. I took the grilles off the C7s this weekend and frankly, with listening how I do in the near field, I feel like it puts me more inside the musical performance. Everything just swings a bit more. Highs are definitely sparklier. I'm convinced it's my advancing age. Sorry Harbeth but I'm keeping them off.
