And they never did it for me....
I purchased them used so was able to resell them with no loss
They were nice, but nothing special - not that great dynamically and I thought the highs were a little aggressive - they never really got me involved in the music.
I happened to give the Super HL5 + a good listening to at the audio show in Brooklyn last year and thought they sounded much more refined and evolving - I really came away with a positive impression.
I too am interested in your comparison between the Spendor D7 and Super HL5+ (was thinking of pulling the trigger on a used pair of the Spendors)
Between the Spendor D7 and Super HL5+ which would you say is supieior in dynamics and resolving inner detail -which would better suit you if you leaned towards rock, electronic jazz type of music
Thanks

I probably would't buy the Harbeths.
I might go for the Spendor D7 or as I also mentioned the Triangle Antal Esprit EZ.
With any speaker brand, beware of now-fashionable white cabinets. They usually turn a bilious brown.
Thank you Sam for the response.
I happened to own the original Antal around the time you first reviewed them in around 99 or so.
At the time I also had a pair of Vandersteen 2 sigs - there was a stark difference between how the two imaged I'll tell you that much - the Antals were like 3 D whereas the Vandersteen just did their thing. Everything sounded "nice" through the Vandersteen's which had a real "creamy" tweeter.
The Antals on the other hand were exciting to listen to with the 3D spatial effects.
When the recording was "on" it was hi fi heaven - when it wasn't it was "let's lower this a bit".
I will never forget the imaging the Antals could perform - it was truly an engaging experience - if it only wasn't for that tweeter ....
If the Antal Espirt EZ has refined their tweeter, than this will have to be a must audition for me.
Thanks
Mike
