Sorry I missed this post, which is what I get from not scrolling down often and far enough.
I too am a small, home-based dealer, as you may know. But I find that the price points for Audio Note (UK), JM Reynaud (France), and Blue Circle (Canada) seem acceptable in the U.S. And unlike you, I've not found comparable products here.
We agree pretty much about Harbeths. I too lived with M40's (preceding generation) for quite a while, though I also had C7's and M30's here for long enough to get what they were about. I don't find Harbeths all that warm (warmth is a highly relative matter) but do feel they come up short on 'aliveness' and 'immediacy,' as you say. I don't think that's a product of their (relative) warmth but rather that they are in fact a bit reserved, by design. I find it interesting that even folks who aren't much drawn to Harbeths tend to respect what they do. And no, they don't really rock. As I wrote, they do "Platonic Mingus."
