Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

My Harbeth experience

I owned the Compact 7ES-2 in the past. The one thing that I experienced with the Harbeths in terms of midrange was a "hollow" quality to the sound. That is the best way I can describe it. Not as distinctive as talking in a cave (as an extreme example) or someone talking to you with their hands cupped around their mouth, but something similar where something was simply missing. This might be the same thing that A.J. is describing as a "nasal" quality.

That said, I lived with the Harbeths for about a year before getting rid of them. I would not have purchased them if I did not like them - they have many good qualities and are certainly worthy of an audition.

Live and learn, or listen and learn in my case.

All the best,
Guth
