    Sale withdrawn for now due to an episode of Audio Nervosa ! To explain, I've bought a pair of 40th Anniversary and just can't decide which to keep. What's that line of dark humour 'talk about 3rd world problems' !

    The P3ESR are by far my favourite Harbeths.
    Jawdrop imaging, simply holographic when well set up.
    Excellent detail and transient speed, too.

    They are way better than the larger Harbies imo.

    Completely agree, but I seem to find myself in the position where I have 2 pairs, 'regular' and 40th Anniversary. Why do we do this ? Life is hell

    I kind of assumed the 40th Anni versions would be obviously better, but apparently not?
    I haven't heard the 40ths.

    It's an interesting call Jerry. The difference is more noticeable than I imagined. I think at this level we're into 'different' rather than better or worse. The detail and clarity is astounding, you know, the 'window' thing. But I just don't know if I prefer it. I might start a thread !

    Hi Martin, I bought them used. The cost of new was prohibitive to me !

    Wobble over, decision made, the Annie's are staying. These are now back up for sale. Apologies for being an indecisive seller !

    Probably the most beautiful finish. Prefer these to my rosewood pair! Well worth the asking price. GLWTS

    Yes, but it is a hell we create, and because we are so opulent that we can be indulgent.
