Harbeth C7ES-3

[Polarbear]

I've got a set of Harbeth m30s coming tomorrow so I'm looking forward to hearing what all the fuss is about. The accurate tone/timbre certainly has my interest peaked.

Are those the 30's or 30.1's? Either way they are great speakers!

I purchased the 30's. It does sound as though the 30.1's are a step up but they're also a step above my budget.

At least a step above mine...

Great, Art! Happy listening!

Congrats. I've always been curious about Harbeth, especially since Allen Shaw is quite vocal about his designs. Very interested in hearing your thoughts once you get them.

Thanks guys. My Sound Anchor stands won't arrive until mid week next week. I went to the local department store and bought a couple of 17 1/2 inch stools ($30 total) to use until the stands arrive. I am sitting here patiently waiting and listening to the LS50's. I can think of worse ways to spend time!

UPS truck just pulled up!

Holy moly they are huge. They look soooo much bigger in my living room than I had anticipated. Good thing I didn't buy the SHL5+. They would have to have doubled as refrigerators!

I don't see anything....

:nono:
Don't tease us.

Haha, I was surprised to see how large they looked in my living room as well...even though I'd seen them in the showroom, they just really seemed large when I got them set up (especially since I'd been demoing some P3ESRs in the same location for a while the month before.) But, they're so beautiful it never bothered me.

Nice, Art! Nothing like the sound of new speakers...

The little stools will be heading back to the store after my stands arrive.

True dat. The amp has been off for a week and the Campion takes a long time to get right. Also the C7's were cold so taking it easy with them. Nice full natural sound. Just what I was hoping for. Nothing like the A series Spendors I had, which were wonderful in their own way.

Beautiful loudspeakers:thmbsp:

I'll have to get around to really listening to Harbeth. I've only heard them at CES for a few minutes with a hundred other systems blaring in the background.

Austin TX is always a nice trip

Nudies, Art!
