How similar to the older spendors are the harbeths? I had a pair of s100s that were my first "real" speakers, and they were great in many respects (their big downside was that they sounded best playing orchestral music at pretty high volumes). The reason I ask is that they look superficially very

I'm biased -- I'm a long term Harbeth fan and love how they deliver music. They are not for everyone. Before these, I had the flagship Monitor 40s, which are truly amazing speakers. They retail at around $9k, I think, and I don't think anything in the price range is as musical -- maybe close, m
