Harbethy stopped in Wojtek from Drezdenko for a good few months, as it is time to change forSun Audio 2A3andHaiku Sol Iwhich was left afterRally in Kashubia– So the famous biscuits added to the transport.
According to him, the first model 7 was much more interesting, these are denser, darker, more glued. I didn’t have one, so I won’t say anything.
I had the old vintag HL3 and they played very well, although it was closer to Snella. There was a time when I compared the 7ES-3 directly with 30.1 and it was closer to 7mek – they were moreFun.
My opinion about Harbeth HL Compact 7ES-3
I have little time and I want it to be relatively fresh. hlki are playing next to itFL9, were alsosonuses. Audio Revival Atalante.
Traditionally, the Audion was the best reinforcement – it seems to be made for British loudspeakers – it is a bit too linear with linear speakers, but those with a slightly exposed center (for me) are excellent.
Audion lit up and added sophistication to Harbethom, Atoll was a bit too sticky. For haiku you would probably need a more resolving and sharp source than Merason (it adds a bit of warm ala harbs).
As harbecists are sectarians and the arguments about height, density, and thickness of stands are about to begin – I will calm down. I have passed them, I admit it a bit briefly.
I know that the stands can make a difference – not worth it for many, worth the money invested for others.
Harbeths play a really cool sweet remedy. They strongly resembleFL9At first glance. The slashes have a slightly better bottom and stretch. A bit more restraint and neutrality in the midrange, but many songs could be mistaken.
Harbethy owe their popularity to the fact that they are quite idiot-resistant as I call it – and if someone wanted more elegantly – you do not have to be a super smashed audiophile not to spoil them with a combination.
The wings unfold on an evenly playing, quite neutral amplifier that gives a nice current.
They play very versatile and as long as we don’t make a disco, it’s really fun. At the lowest volume level, it is difficult to be as tangible as the Ztannoy,orsnell.
in terms of sophistication, plasticity, naturalnessLiving VoiceThey are much higher for me and are more complete – as if skillfully tuned.
The main domain of the Harbeths seems to be ‘do not harm’ and ‘do not piss off’, which I must admit in the audiophile world is a great value in itself.
Such columns are not made by accident and their constructor knows what is squeaking in the grass.
It can be better, it can be much worse.
If you have a choice of a design made by an omnipotent DIYer who tunes a column linearly on expensive pickups … and you are not strong audiophiles … Take Harbeth.
Most likely it will be nicer. Especially on the secondary market – Harbeth in the long run, it is probably impossible not to sell.
And their appearance – they are really great if someone likes classics.
