Harbeth

I was about type the same thing.

I own a pair and they are very fast, clean and neutral. No coloration. These are the SHL5+

The designer, Allen Shaw, has noted in the Harbeth user forum that manufacturing a "lively" cabinet that performs well is extraordinarily difficult. Evidently, the actual construction of these cabinets is challenging.

Given my experience with these speakers, I'd reserve judgement on the meaning of any kind of "knuckle test". It's a relevant metric, but I wouldn't automatically reach any firm conclusion on a speaker's overall quality by knowing that it's cabinet is more resonant.
