I guess not. Harbeths, like their competition, have a point of view about reproduction. It is a conservative one and has remained commendably consistent for a long time now, thanks to Alan who knows quite specifically what he's about. Speakers which make no mistakes put themselves in a small circle, with the majority of others outside.
I am curious about rockers and jazz folk who choose Harbeths over other speakers. Not skeptical, curious. Despite what we say about good speakers being good at everything, some good ones are less so than others. It is hard to have that kind of conversation here but it could be an illuminating one. It would be fun at a show somewhere, sometime to sit in a room with Harbeths, Spendors, Audio Notes, Reynauds, Aerials, Quads, a selected few others, each with the appropriate electronics and just listen, take notes, listen, and talk. Someday.
