Talking about CD's, I heard a favorite CD of mine in Hongkong thru the HL P3. It's not one of those audiofile kind, but I knew how it sounded on my Tangent MOnitor Six using Kef tweeters, and my S 3/5 using Vifas. Bob's right! You would find the P3 more direct, more direct to your ears than the mellower Vifas. Some people may like a more tipped up treble, exposed a little bit. This is specially true for those above 50 years of age. I didn't find the Harbeth P3 at that exposed level to give me a sweeter more endearing treble. The P3's treble is in the likes of the Totem 1, which has sibilance problems. That goes for the Haydn too to some extent. And they all use Seas tweets. Correct me if I'm wrong, aluminum! And they sounded like it.The Kef tweeters which are textile dome on my Tangent image very well and are open as any Harbeth P3, but does not have the shrilly sharpness on some program material like the P3 in the example above. In fairness to the Harbeth sound, careful mating with ancilliaries is a must.
