Just spoke with Garnet Lewis who can't respond here (yet) because he's not registered. I'm sure he'll be with us one of these days. Anyway, he said expect a Berkeley area dealer for Harbeth by mid-November. That gives you around seven weeks of anticipatory excitement! When you hear the 7's, compare with Spendor SP 1/2's and tell us what you hear. I find that comparison extremely interesting and would have trouble picking the winner. For the record, REG of TAS, finds them both superb and won't pick a winner, on record anyway.

Then listen to the Monitor 40's, if you've got a big room home and some watts 'n' current. I think you'll hear the reasonable man's state-of-the art. Also, Monitor 30's are due in the states later this fall, which have the 40's tweeter and midrange in a very slightly smaller cabinet than the Compact 7's. For a moderate to small room, they could also be state-of-the-art, unless, of course you're a cafe au lait drinker.
