Very nice looking (and sounding I'll bet) system. Love the finish on your Harbeth's!

I think the easiest way to describe their impact on my system (Meridian 200/263 into Quad 66/606) is simply to say that the hifi has been on almost all the hours it possibly could have been on since they arrived. They replaced a pair of ESL-63's, which were good, but simply not as ergonomically easy to listen to; you can listen to the Harbeth's from anywhere in a room and they sound just as focussed and musical.
They have enough bass to listen to organ music; they have good stereo imaging; they sound good at low or high volumes; there is absolutely no fatigue in listening to them for hours on end. They're just plain musical!
Perhaps you can tell how much I like them now?
