I can't speak for the HL Monitor Mkll but at that price point you could get a taste of what the Harbeth thing is all about. These are older speakers. If there was no shipping involved and the cabinets were half way decent I'd bite.
I've been a KEF, Spendor, Harbeth believer forever. Not for head bangers and not for the thunder crowd.
But if you've got a thing for midrange and vocals...............

My P3ESRs never cease to amaze.
BTW Stands available?

@slick.one - did you end up getting the Harbeth HL Monitor II's?
@DOBIEGUY - I'm looking at upgrading from my B&W DM 303's. I'd love Harbeths but can't currently afford them. I'd like to keep it at $400 Canadian dollar max. ($300 US). Any suggestions?

i`m very lucky as i found a Harbeth Acoustic HL Monitor Mk II at ($20 cad.)
I was not searching for them but almost everyday i was looking at web used electronic in Marketplace
around my local area to spot good deal and they have. The first time i saw these speaker add at $20 i
was septical because no brand name. But later i realise a label tag in the back panel pic but to small
to read i was oblige to used my iphone (of the same web side) to increase the pic and was able to read
Harbeth Acoustic HL Monitor Mk II !!!!
But not only that this add was $20 but also at 10 min drive from where i live in a small city.
So i got them and tested the sound. I fall in love with this BBC monitor choice of later 70`s
The only thing i found is that the tweeter was not the original one ( Audax) BUT can be order
at Falconacoustics in UK for around ($160cad) + shipping. The Phillips tweeter sound good
but only one is working. My projet will be to get the orginal Audax tweeter to bring this speaker
to original value.
So for $20 i very very happy
