Title: Harbeth speakers
Post by: brandon on Mar 27, 2006 at 12:48 PM
Anybody out there who owns or have auditioned these speakers?
I got a chance to have a short audition on Harbeth bookshelf speakers
(forgot the model) last month and I thought they sounded
very open and airy (a common trait of most  high end speakers but
rarely present in mid end speakers).  They have a somewhat 'liquid'
midrange (good trait for some, not for others).   
I also thought they have sweet highs untypical of speakers
with aluminum dome tweeters. 

Owners of these speakers or those who have auditioned them,
do share your thoughts on these speakers...

where to audition these speakers?

Can you post specs, pics and price range?

Philander, i believe a pre-owned harbeth is on display at architectural audio. don't know the model, though.

Hi john5479,

Where and How much did you acquire your Harbeth hl-P3ES-2?

Happened to audition this at Shanghai...IMHO better than the LS3 version
although agree very hard to drive... With A-B-C Test we did (A-stock version
B-Roger LS3 C- Special edition)

I prepare the special edition which per laopan only hundreds of units were produced with
serial number and certificate. This cost 13,200RMB = Php85,800.  Is the price ok?

Cheers.

Yep, you got it right. I was able to audition a pre-owned Harbeth hl-P3ES-2. Vocal swere on the spot with a very balanced treble.

Why don't you call up Ferdie or PM him sa Wiredstate.  Mabilis sumagot and madaling kausap.  Ordered mine already, pero parang lay-away plan, kasi he does not stock up on Rosewood units.  Deposit lang ako until fully paid sa kanya. . . Hope to get mine be late 2011. 

Tapos sabay tayo pagawa ng 20 inch copy ng Skylan stands ni turbokiller, estimate niya 5.8k.  ;D

once you go harbies, you never go back.  This was my initial set up but eventually changed the marantz to leben and audio analogue cdp.  Also got a stand for the harbies.  go for it. you wont regret it.

Just my 2-cents...I have had a P3 before...perfect imaging, holographic...however you'll need a juicy amplifier...suggestion is hybrid (SS power amp w/ tube pre-amp)...you may need to integrate w/ a sub for the oooomph! I have listened to the Compact 7ES3...well balanced, warm w/ excellent imaging again (Harbeth's strength)...and the SHL-5...WOW!! But of course it has a higher price tag...If i were to choose...considering both price and sound...it will be the Cmopact 7 ES3 30th Anniversary Edition (w/ upgraded internal wiring/cabling)...with an 80wpc amplification, you'll never go wrong w/ this...

Question lang Jen, been reading details sa Harbeth thread, and it seems they say that the best items goes into every Harbeth and that the is no need for any part to be upgraded. What would the upgraded wiring do? wouldn't it change the Harbeth SQ?
Title: Re: Harbeth speakers
Post by: insomnia on Dec 04, 2010 at 12:42 AM
thanks cjtjader.  the leben is a better match detail  and imaging wise.  i listen mostly to vocals and it just brings out the best in the harbeths.  the marantz sounded clinical and lacks warmth.  It never really made the harbies disappear unlike the p3 leben combo.  I guess the magic was just not there with the marantz.
Title: Re: Harbeth speakers
Post by: insomnia on Dec 04, 2010 at 12:47 AM
i guess it depends on the solid state. I  use an accuphase with the compact 7s and it sounded better than my p3 with the leben.

SO di na ako magpapalit ng amplification?  Have Harman's HK990 - top dog in it's stereo line. 150wpc in 8ohms, 300wpc in 4 ohms.  Pang P3 sana, pero as everyone has heard, mas swak talaga yung Compact 7.  Nasira tuloy budget ko. . .

timber715,  the room's ceiling is covered by two layers of gypsum board covered by acoustic panels with a one layer of foam.  the acoustic panels for the walls are yet to be installed.  even though its only half way done, the harbeths have no problem coming out well.  Although it can be a bit "bassy" depending on the music being played, it has no problem playing vocals.  before the wreck room was done. i have been playing the harbeths in a normal untreated room and it just sounded great.  i think you can place it anywhere and it will sound as good as allan shaw  designed it.

Nice to hear that the Harbeths can sound good in an untreated room.  I think Alan Shaw showed a pic showing how he was voicing the Compact 7s. Small room, no room treatments, and the Harbeths were either on Ikea plant stands or simple wooden stands. . .

@timber, yun Monitor 40 ultimate talaga, pati price ultimate din... ;D  Btw, did you get to reserve your pair from Ferdie?  Just PMed him and he said may waitlist na sa 1st shipment ng Harbeths. . .  :o

yes Les (tama ba?) I did tell him I would reserve but I opted to hand him the dp when I reach Cebu, at least I don't have to do it thru the bank na. Get a chance to see his set up there at the same time.

insomia, thank you for the reply, I have been reading the room treatment in the harbeth forum and I'm happy that you can confirm its performance. I am starting to prep the room as well and would like to know early what I should look out for. I might have a different scenario since I will be driving them with tubes. ss seems to control them better though.

timber715,

i use a leben cs300 xs (valve) amp  to drive my p3esr and it sounds good as well.  the music is more subdued and the highs just rolls off.  i guess you can say it sounds more analogue than digital.  I use an audio analogue paganini as my cdp.

Just ensure that there is no wobble.  Try moving the box and it should be solid as a rock.  Critical about stands is that it should be pinned as a rock.

Will you be putting spikes?

looking for Harbeth owners to comment on my stand work in progress for C7ES3...

Thanks Joey, this is still a long way to go  ;D...  it will have stretchers on all sides to keep everything secured and in place. as for the spikes, I plan to use metal balls or ball bearings since I don't want the speaker's veneer to be damaged... I have not yet decided if it should have spikes to contact the floor though...

The spikes are a must.  It will only be installed at each foot of the speaker stand so no worries about the speakers' veneer.  The spikes will prevent unwanted vibration from traveling from the floor to the stands then to the speakers.  Also the spikes will also help drain out unwanted vibrations generated by the speakers and the stands.

Harbeth are nice sounding speakers, excellent midrange (for vocals and acoustic music) but very hard to drive.  You need at least a 25watter amp to drive these beauties..... :)

yes they are very nice, but I believe that the new compact 7 (ES-3) are redesigned to be much easier than the previous models, 25 watts from an ss amp isn't so much come to think of it...

Title: Re: Harbeth speakers
Post by: insomnia on Jan 11, 2011 at 07:31 PM
I use a 15 watt integrated amp and it drives my harbeths beautifully.  Although the amp drives my p3esr,  it should not have any problem driving the compacts since the 7s has a higher sensitivity than the p3s.  And reading through the harbeth forum, you will get the idea that its one of the easiest speaker to drive.

I certainly hope so. . . have no funds to engage in new system component matching.  But Ferdie said the Compact 7s do well with any amp.  But the better the amp, the better the sound,  so I'm hoping I'll end my audio upgrade journey for a longer while. . . at least on the amp and speaker side.

Sa DAC side, may Rega DAC na parating na mukhang maganda. .  but that's for another topic. . . ;D

INitial listening lang:

1) brings out more detail
2) night listening quite surprising - no need to turn volume up to hear details;
3) large soundstage; no need to turn on subwoofer to give life to big recordings. .

More to come. . . wala pang plaka yan

Nice stands boss timber, pero dapat rosewood din kinuha mo para match!

IMHO, the rosewood color should be the standard finish.  Looks like fine furniture.  Sounds great too. . .

Initial listening is very promising on the HarHar combo.  Hintayin nating ma-break in para mas maganda.  Will try spinning LPs later tonight. . .

Muy, if you can, consider putting more space between the 2 speakers to expand the soundstage.

ako I was initially not impressed coming from the CDM1 first 10 minutes showed only minor improvements. but after that the difference started stretching out (must be the break-in method  ;D). and with speaker placement tweaking, it was apparent that this speakers belong to a different class. details, details and more details  ;D. the low frequencies initially gave me a heartburn  ;D ;D ;D, had to move them further from the wall in my small room. and with the soundstage, I don't know the correct words to descried it, but singers appear in front of me, even a whole band for that matter (makes me think how they fit in my room  ;D). I can hear Rod Stewart change distance from his microphone and other similar sounds I never noticed with the cd's I have for a long while now.
The C7's truly are very natural and very musical not to mention very pretty too. Like I said earlier, you cannot go wrong with them or any Harbeth for that matter.
I have always referenced the sq of a system from Fr. Jim's audio set and to my ears, I can now reference from what I have  ::) ::) ::) of course that is my opinion  ;)

Thanks Muy, I wanted the rosewood brader without a doubt, but the extra cost wasn't worth it for me, had to eat sardines to have these for three months. and if I chose rosewood, it would increase another month or so  :P. No while we were trying to decide, swmbo (she who must be obeyed aka wifey) said we wanted to hear music and not stare at the beautiful furniture  ;D so saving a bit for future upgrade it becomes. while I stare at your speakers, it makes me want them a lot, but I am very happy with what I got... very very happy as a matter of fact  ;)  ;D ;D ;D

I put on James Bobchak's Sundance Flamenco (guitar music) and in very short order, was floored by the immediacy and PRAT.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/carnika/IMG_0374.jpg)

Wirelessly streamed flac files thru a Sonos ZP90 was merely good, something the upcoming Bel Canto DAC should fix.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/carnika/IMG_0381.jpg)

If a Chinese EL34 amp with 35-wpc sounds this good with the Harbeths, I wonder how Japanese heavy iron with 180-wpc will sound?  Will find out next week.  :)

since you are almost done with your audio set up, it pays well to get a decent HT set up as well to break the monotony of things, nothing fancy but something that will become a good diversion pag mejo nag crave ka sa movie watching,something simple sir john parang ganito oh

Onkyo 1007
Monitor Audio Gold Series
SVS PB 13 Ultra
Oppo BD 95

Thanks Sonny. Spent the whole day listening  :).  cjtjader, at normal listening levels, actually di malayo (the Cayin really is that good and I'm not just saying that because I'm selling it :)). That also says something about the Accuphase sound, parang tubes din.

It's when you get to rock n' roll listening volumes where iwan na yung Cayin. The punch and control of the E460 is wonderful at elevated volumes.  Drum whacks are just so tight and impactful.  Actually, the reason I went back to solid state is miss ko a system that can rock. But for all that, the forte of the Accuphase/Harbeth is still vocals.  Karen Carpenter sounds just so excellent. So best of both worlds. Haven't tried orchestra yet.
 
My sources are now the glaring weak points on my setup.  Hope to fix that with a cart upgrade and the addition of a DAC.  :)

Hi Timber,

Nice stands. How much do you charge to make them? Thinking of getting Compact 7's but don't have stands. Will need to see if I can afford them. As you know, Harbeth's a big investment so I'm trying to pinch pesos where I can and Skylans are just too pricey for me.

Pa-PM na lang ng presyo and your assessment of how well the DIY stands are working. Did you place spikes, btw?

Thanks and regards

they sound great so far, but I need the Harbeth representative to be the judge of it... I did not place spikes since I was afraid damage the veneer... used cylindrical hardwood blocks instead and they sound much better than rubber... will pm you price later.

Zidane,  sweet setup.  How does the harbeths sound like when paired with the McIntosh?
Title: Re: Harbeth speakers
Post by: zidane on May 01, 2011 at 01:18 PM
Actually, my set-up is with the Naim Audio (Nait5i/ CD5i-2/ Hiline/Powerline & NACA5). The last photo is when we had an EB with Friends in Bacolod, but unfortunately as it was raining that time, the speakers got stuck inside the car and we did'nt have any more time to test the Harbeths with the Macs but only with the Cayin A88T. The room is already very crowded and transfering to another system is very difficult and complicated. Maybe next time na lang.

Anyway, I was only interested to try them on the more affordable Cayin that the out-of-reach Macs,for me. Hehe. With the Cayin, it was  very nice but a little laid-back and a different presentation compared to my Naims.

BTW, the Mac owner is very decided to get a pair of Harbeths, maybe a SHL5, for his Macintosh. With the Cayin only, I think he's already pleased and convinced.

Thanks for the comment.

Kala ko sa yo lahat ng gamit na yun. . . astig. . .

Still breaking in my Compact 7s, since I hardly get to play them during the day.  Sa gabi lang.

Mahirap dito naiwanan yung system ko ng Harbeths. . .

Upgraded the system as well, using a second hand Audible Illusions Modulus 2B tube preamp and the power sector of my HK990 as the power amp.  Maganda nga yung tube preamp and SS power amp combo.  Best of both worlds.  Bumilog yung tunog, pero andoon pa rin yung bass definition ng solid state.

Waiting for the incoming Rega DAC to complete the setup to make the sources naman at par with the Harbeths.  Yung ampli section good as done na for the Harbeths.

All gears in this picture belong to only one guy, except the Harbeths, which I brought along for the session. 3 set-ups in one setting. 2 Mac systems, 1 is tubed Pre/power to the Paradigms and 1 solid state to the B&W 805s.  Kulang ang buong hapon namin dun. >:(

As for me, this is how my system goes now. They're all stocked up inside the bedroom as we're still constructing a dedicated listening room. Hope to complete the project in due time but I will be able to set them up properly and enjoy them when I get back from work here abroad. :'(

My brother is in Davao and hopefully I can visit him soon, can I visit you too ::)...  ;D ;D ;D. I am in Cebu and I just heard the P3ES again, really a very nice small speaker with a big voice. But for me, the best set I have come to experience belongs to John, Dang his shl5+accuphase combo kicks butt.

That's one thing I will be missing here.

Before here in Saudi, I kept them "on" all the time which is a big difference. At home now, it is most of the time "off" as I'm here now abroad. It really takes too long to warm it-up, you won't even feel it by touching. ::) ???

Yeah. I really liked them with the Harbeths.

My only dilemma now is the listening room acoustics, that's why we're building a dedicated room for them to maximize their potentials. It would take some time though as I'm still out of the country.

Will post photos soon once the room is done so that maybe I can get some help on set-up & room treaments.

Ok din yung supernait. Di mo kailangan ng outboard DAC since may DAC na sa loob.  Plus the signature Naim sound. . . Was shooting for that as well, pero the large diff with the HK990 was the decider.  Getting a Rega DAC, which some reviews say is just as good as the NAIM Dac, but significantly cheaper.

Let's see how my Harbeth setup sounds with the Rega DAC. . .

Nakakalula lang yung e-460 ni sir Lithium. . . asked Ferds the price and was floored. . . kahit yung e-250 ginto din. :'(

Post by: lithium_deuteride on May 14, 2011 at 08:42 AM
Muy I have a Bel Canto eDAC1.5 coming in shortly. Maybe we can do an A-B.

I wanted the Naim DAC but it's twice the price of the Bel Canto.  I heard the Supernait and the Naim DAC playing off a Macbook at the last Hi-Fi show and the sound left nothing to be desired - PRAT galore. The Supernait's built-in DAC doesn't compare to the Naim DAC. Pero magastos din yung Naim courtesy of their various PSU upgrades which you will need to get the most out of Naim components. Plus the operating idiosyncrasy (always on) described above is the reason why I went to Accuphase instead. But sound-wise I'd have been perfectly happy with Naim.

Wow, all Ferds supplied equipment. . . Rel sub na lang kulang.  ;D

Yup, maybe we can do an ab when the time comes.

Maganda nga Naim, prices though are too rich for me. The Nait 5 is reachable, but Almost 2x the price of an amp with similar power output.
Title: Re: Harbeth speakers
Post by: lithium_deuteride on May 14, 2011 at 08:58 PM
Di naman my sources came from elsewhere.  Ferdie supplied most of the rest.  What can I say, Ferdie is the man if you are serious about getting the sound right or tailored to your taste. And of course brother Sonny built the beautiful rack.

Yung Hydra 8 di napapansin nakatalikod  ;D


That gave me a little dilemma actually.  Had to choose which component faced front - the Shunyata Hydra or the Artemis.  Can't be both due to cable length.  In the end it had to be the Shunyata that gives way because with 5 thick power cords angled at 90 degrees imparting a lateral force, the rollerblocks beneath won't "float" the Shunyata freely, negating the decoupling effect. I even put more weight on top of the Hydra and the Artemis, mass loading them so to speak, to reduce the influence of the "bent" power and interconnect cables on them, thus enabling the rollerblocks to function as intended. Mind you, these Symposium Rollerblocks, especially the Series 2 beneath the Artemis really work. Their effect is immediately noticeable.   :).

Nusmag, congratulations on the C7's!  Enjoy the sound of musicians playing right inside your listening room!  The Harbeths do make a good illusion of that. Are those 300B tubes you are driving them with?  Alan Shaw mentioned his speakers can sound great with just 8-wpc of SET power.  The Manley, is that an integrated amp?

World class job on the stands Sonny!
Title: Re: Harbeth speakers
Post by: nusmag on Jun 25, 2011 at 07:20 PM
lithium - yes, it's an 8 watt 300B SET amp.  Instrument solos and vocals are magical when I use this with the Harbeths.  The Manley Stingray is a 40 watt integrated amp designed by Eva Manley.  Uses an EL84 output stage in Ultra Linear push-pull mode.

My preamp is the one below the Manley - it's an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A.  I connect my DAC and iPod  transport (not in the picture) to this via cjtjader's interconnects and in turn connect to the Manley.

Sonny how is your amp hunt for the C7's?  Baka may kapatid yung nakuha ni muypogi na Luxman.  Or how about yung Accuphase P450 that noctilux is selling?

Meron!  Eto o:

http://www.hifido.co.jp/KWluxman/G2/P0/A1/E/0-10/S0/C11-61638-20103-00/

(http://www.hifido.co.jp/photo/11/201/20103/a.jpg)

Actually, wanted an Accuphase, but the cheapest Accuphase is almost 75% more expensive vs a brand new L-550 A II, which is what I have.  And some test reports show the L-550 to be more than a match for the even more expensive Accuphase E-550 na ka-match niya.

To be fair, I asked Ferds (the Harbeth/Accuphase/Bel Canto/Peachtree distributor) if he still had Luxman in his stable.  Di na daw, so I looked for other sources. . . ;D

Banat na bro timber.  The Lux sounds very good partnered with the Compact 7.  IMHO, superior to the setup that Ferds had in his setup last year sa HiFi show, where he used the entry level Luxman, the L-505U. Medyo Class A yung Luxmn ko, kaya medyo mainit tumakbo.  After 2 hours of use, kaya niyang painitin yung extra heavy duty na transformer na binili ko kay boss Edrel.  You're welcome to have a listen to the Lux-Harbeth combo. . .  ;)

This year all Accuphase na siya, so it will be an interesting listen. . .

IMHO, there are very few subs that can catch up to the drivers of Harbeths. Based on experience, best result is from a sealed sub, or at least one with a passive radiator. REL subs match up well with Harbeths. My previous sealed Anthony Audio sub came very close, but in the end I preferred the sound of my Compact 7s without a sub.

Pag nanood ako ng movies pinipindot ko na lang yung Loudness button. . . :-p

Pang demo ni Ferdie palagi yung combo na yan pag Hi Fi show....Harbeth and REL Acoustics. I remember before there were a lot of listeners including myself intently listening to the Harbeth/Accuphase combo then he repeated the track that was playing this time with the REL located in the middle of the room of all places for reinforcement. Parang naging floorstanders yung small Harbeths bigla.  Lumawak yung soundstage lalo. The smallest Harbeth with the smallest REL...killer combo na agad. Yun lang lampas 100K agad speaker and sub pa lang.

I agree. Coming from a peachtree nova 125 the difference is night and day even though I'm just using HRT streamer II DAC. Very contented and happy with the Accuphase. Didn't even replaced the stock power cord coz I've found it smoother than my previous power cord. :)

Wow! Sama mo ko next time. Who's the lucky owner? In 2months time malamang SHL5 ka na rin atty :)

SHL5 is good w/ movies too. I tried setting it at full range and I get extra boom in the mid-bass. Sarap sa gun-fight scenes, magic that an 8 incher does.

Nice Sonny.  How does it sound in your room compared to the C7?
Was somewhat expecting it to be a bit congested with the small room but it's not. No sign of boominess (which is good) must be due to the ASC's... Sings very well but I think it still needs tweaking here and there especially the placements.... All in all I am very happy. I do think the c7's have a slightly different voice than the 5' and 3's but they all sing very well...
Also I think it is easier to set up the 5's than the 7's. it could be just me....

I think having a preamp will provide a lot of benefits to the overall sound brader. You should consider it imo, at least I have  ^-^ i just don't want to think about it at this time... ;D

I think having a preamp will provide a lot of benefits to the overall sound brader. You should consider it imo, at least I have  ^-^ i just don't want to think about it at this time... ;D
I am currently using a lightspeed passive preamp made for me by our very own Mr. JojoD...
So mas maganda tunog kung nakakabit sa lightspeed pre amp kumpara sa built in pre amp ng wyred?
Sorry sa OT po...

So far I find fluidity when the lightspeed is connected... Preamps like any gear on a system seem to impart something to the overall sound (I think)... Like warmth, brightness, a better soundstage or could degrade it too. The hard part is finding one that matches well with one's system.
I do long for the fluid sound that comes from the accuphase e_60 series... Its just beyond my reach kasi....... So close and yet a universe away  :-[ haaaaaaay
But life is good and we must be happy with what we are blessed with  O0 O0 ^-^

While you are saving for the e_60 ...... why not try placing a tubed buffer (SS ok din like Pass' Mesmerize) before and after the lightspeed ..... you may be in for a surprise ;)

Last I checked the shl5 is going for 300k (more or less kasi nag price increase on all models)...

Oh wala pala dito. Nagulat nga ako sa website nila Cebu ang distributor.

HL5 pala uses SEAS tweeter kaya familiar yung itsura.  :D

Yes. SEAS actually started as a contractor for manufacturing ng drivers. Year 2000 lang ata sila gumawa ng sarili nilang product.

If you read the site, Radial woofer drivers are made from a mix of materials proprietary to Harbeth, as the designer of Harbeth wanted a materil better than the off the shelf polyprop/kevlar/paper. So technically you can't produce a Harbeth clone since sa driver material palang unobtanium na.

Some of them daw are no longer produced. So pag naubos na batch nila ng raw materials, no more Radial drivers. Kaya there is no possibility of Radial drivers being cloned as these are made by Harbeth themselves. 

Unlike other speakers (the ProAc clones come to mind) which source raw drivers outside which can be approximated by similar products by the same manufacturer.

Seas produces the metal dome tweeters for Harbeth pero per their specifications.

No substitute for the real thing . . . :-) 

Just finished paying for my Compact 7s last year . . . Matagal pa bago palitan.  Kaya idol ko yung mga naka SHL5 dito . . .

Teka teka, ibig nyong sabihin yung gamit na drivers ng harbeth eh,,, harbeth lang ang meron? ;D
And as far as I am aware, not only are the materials a proprietary mix of their chemicals, the process itself is proprietary. The cones are thicker near the voice coil and thins out nearing the outer portion of the speakers. This is what makes harbeth speakers special...
Yung crossover madali. Magbukas ka lang ng harbeth available ang parts at kaya gayahin. But without the drivers, the crossover is useless since it was designed for the drivers.
Di ba yung enclosure ng harbeth, thin wall? Dapat ba manipis ang enclosure pag thin wall? :o  ;D ;D ;D
For those who are not aware, the thin walled speakers such as the harbeths and rogers give extra voice from their enclosure. That is one reason why wooden musical instruments sound very natural on these speakers. The somehow replicate the wooden vibrations created by the wooden instruments such as a guitar, a piano, violin and so much more....

The drivers can be had separately if you have damaged ones and if they still support it they can provide, even the grills. I was thinking of this route before buti nalang naayos ko drivers nung c7es ko, it is not practical kasi to change them kasi for the price might as well save up for a brand new ones  ;) Plus all of their speakers I believe are tuned by pairs so components/drivers are matched per cabinet.

You are correct, they can issue a replacement for you if you can provide them proof of ownership. Magkano daw yung driver brader? Again you are correct that they do provide matching for their units, hence the serial xxxxxL and xxxxxR. Also, as far as I know, before they issue a replacement driver, they will ask you to open the voice coil to check the cause of damage. So even if you have the original driver it will be difficult if not impossible to repair to the original standard.

Naku baka yan na yung radial 2 na 5 ah

Skylan vs. Sound anchors . . . pareho ok pero mas sturdy at solid tignan ang skylan bcos of its bigger pillars.
Mas ok yung diy sa binondo naka-match pa sa cherry finish.

In my experience, stands play a major part in the sound of the SHL5. Thicker and heavier stands tend to accentuate bass more than thinner stands.

A small room would therefore benefit from thinner stands.

SHL5 Plus

(https://scontent-a-hkg.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1.0-9/10325759_761930147184681_6396967190075240867_n.jpg)

Harbeth Audio Ltd have released a new loudspeaker the SHL5 Plus at the Munich High End Audio show. Harbeth Audio has advised that Parmenter Sound was the worlds first Harbeth Audio distributor to place a order for the new SHL5 Plus loudspeakers. We are very pleased to hear this news and look forward to promoting and demonstrating the new Harbeth SHL Plus loudspeaker in New Zealand.

 Harbeth News Letter May 2014 Munich Special
 SoundSpeak.

 Rarely does British loudspeaker legend Harbeth Audio launch new models. When it does, we can be sure that it will be something very special.
 The wraps come off a totally re-engineered version of Harbeth’s best- selling traditional BBC-style monitor loudspeaker as the Super HL5 appears in revamped ‘Plus’ form.
 Munich High End 2014 sees the world’s best-loved speaker brand revealing significant improvements to this classic. It now benefits from the brand’s exclusive RADIAL2TM cone technology as used in the mighty reference Monitor 40.1 and multi-award- winning M30.1.
 Harbeth’s designer, Alan Shaw, says, “The two cubic foot monitor concept put Harbeth on the map, over 35 years ago. To be honest, I’ve always been in awe of Dudley Harwood’s original model which he developed as he retired as the head of the BBC loudspeaker R&D team to found Harbeth. “
With so many effusive users around the globe and amid continuing critical acclaim, up-rating the fifteen year- old Super HL5 success story was no easy task. “Every time the subject of updating this masterpiece has been raised in almost the same breath, a host of satisfied customers have cautioned me, ‘don’t mess with the perfect’! Only recently has technological advance paved a path to retaining all the old plus-points whilst genuinely improving this beloved model”, adds Alan.

 The legend lives on!

 New model features
• Enriched musical experience to bring the concert hall home
• New crossover for a smoother sound
• New bass/mid unit with Harbeth unique RADIALTM2
• Exceptionally flat response

 New technology gave designer an irresistible itch...
 Three elements of the Super HL5 worked so perfectly together that they’ve been cloned from the outgoing model to the new. The cabinet, a critically-damped ‘thin- wall BBC design’, makes a perfect match for the new- generation RADIAL2TM bass/ midrange unit. Likewise the main tweeter and super- tweeter.
 As the designer, Alan Shaw, explained, “The drive units are so well balanced in their acoustic performance that I never even considered a fruitless search for trendy, eye-catching alternatives. Why re-invent the wheel for the sake of it? If sound quality is paramount, the designer should concentrate his efforts on teasing out and resolving peripheral
 issues – when technology allows.”
Every Harbeth design gestates only because technology has made a worthwhile improvement practicable, not merely on a designer’s whim or fancy.
 The Harbeth designer is under no commercial pressure to force the pace of development. That ensures longevity of the products and a widespread assurance that buying a Harbeth is a fine future- proof investment.
“Technology does not move in a linear path”, adds Shaw. “It may be years, and indeed it has been years, since new techniques hinted at the possibility that the re-examination of a design would be fruitful.”
This is exactly what
 has happened with the transition from the Super HL5 to the Super HL5 Plus. “I wasn’t looking to upgrade this speaker now – new technology just made the upgrade irresistible.”
Is there ever a ‘right time’ to relaunch a much- loved model? How many designers have agonised over that issue?
 Shaw’s work on the Super HL5 Plus has taken the design to a new level and one step closer to bringing the concert hall home – something every Harbeth aspires to.
 At this level of performance, the accumulation of a number of individually small design improvements equates to a very significant increase in overall performance.

Boss Nolax, not much difference I guess...I remember those who bought the M30 were given a chance to "convert" to M30.1 with some internal tweaking but warranty not void...though not in PH...the only major difference is the Radial 2.

Honestly, I am quite disappointed as I have sent an e-mail and PM to Alan Shaw via Harbeth Forum probably around 3-months ago. I was asking him when is the next iteration for the SHL5...he boldly declared that there's nothing to improve anymore with the SHL5 as it is already "perfect"...Well, it turns out to be "Marketing" after all...of course if he mentioned that the SHL5-Plus will come out I am sure prospective buyers will hold their orders...

That's right. And they have to clear their inventory of SHL-5  :D
Regarding M30.1, i think the highs are much sweeter than SHL-5, i'm hearing certain edges vs the silky smooth highs of M30.1. Yet, i like the room filling sound of the SHL-5, mas may impact on some music. Anyway, break-in period pa.  ;D

Not only that. Bec the harbeths are designed after the bbc monitors having thin wall enclosures to add to the overall sound. Redesigning the box will also change its character. Might make it sound like other speakers with marvelous looks but not the sound.

Thanks Jen for the link. I must agree that for mere mortals like us, the shl5 plus will always be a dream. . .however, I heard a speaker which resembles the SQ of these harbeths at a cheaper price. They have thin baffles which resonates, adding character to the sound. . .I heard it first at David Wong's(Daiwok) place in HK and the sound is just glorious and spot on.I'm talking about the Saba Reso. . .

Heard a demo pair of Harbeth SHL-5 Plus with Naim separates, last week in LA.
Ganda combo ng PRAT and finesse!

The difference though between the old and the new model is not that significant (according to my ears only). I guess the new model has to be hyped in reviews/ads to generate sales.
Parang hindi sulit to take the huge hit in selling the old and buying new again.
I'd say audition is a must for owners of SHL-5 who are thinking to upgrade.

For the big spenders, well . . di na siguro kailangan - pride of ownership lang ay ok na  8)

But a definite upgrade for owners of C7ES3s and M30.1s (a close call)

Just got back from Cebu and had the chance to listen to the shl5+... While it seems to me the difference in sq compared to the shl5 is minimal, I think the smoothness in sq alone is worth the change. As everything else in audio, sq is dependent of a lot of factors. But the SHL5+ is something one should when in Cebu...
Btw, I was told that there is a Monitor 40.2 locally available na... Wow!

Both sounds extremely good (as expected from Sound and Images), but if one has the budget to blow the M40.2 is a no brainer

Pwede palang pang filling ang "RICE" sa Skylan stands ng Harbeth... ;)

I must have miss this, its been a 1year+ post but I really did this for a year w/ rice inside the stands & yung rice (binubokbok, this is how we call it in Cebuano, dont know in tagalog if this is the right word). It was horrible, the rice grains smell so bad & it turn brown w/ lots pest in it. Good thing the posts are made of hard plastic.

Lesson learn USE PEBBLES instead & its more heavier & sturdy than Rice Grains.

Yes it was really an ignorant move, If I could recalled I was in a hurry to put it up & cant find any sand at home so went to the Pantry & found rice grains  ;D  From now on its: "Dont be lazy & have PATIENCE"

Harbeths are generally very easy to drive. I have the bigger sibling SHL5+ using a tube int amp with 35wpc. Music is light and easy. As to sound, just listen to it and you will definitely fall in love with it.

Kahit medyo low yung sensivity nya at 86db/1watt, surprisingly di sya mahirap i-drive lalo na if you will use first rate amplifiers like naim, luxman, accuphase, sugden and others to get the best out of it. 

Definitely and totally not comparable with denton, kef and the likes.

Post by: CoolTOYZPH on Mar 04, 2019 at 10:56 PM
Low end must be managed. It like to be away from walls and preferable a large listening area.
Mid-range is excellent
Highs can be a challenge for warm sounding amplifiers.

I wouldnt go as far to say KEFs are incomparable to Harbeths though. The LS50 can compete with the P3ESR easily despite being cheaper. Pano pa kaya yung Reference series? Sorry OT hehe.

I have both and while it’s fair to say it can compete, it can’t prevail to my ears. The kef are great monitors price notwithstanding. Built in the tradition of the ls3/5a but the finesse, inner detail retrieval, midrange lucidity and the imaging of the P3 is on a different plane
