disappointed to not see a follow up video, I would very much appreciate a chance to hear this set up from the listening position along with learning of any changes or adjustments you may have made over the past year. Thanks very much.

nice to see someone address how they have worked with a small listening space and still have a lovely looking room very inspiring on multiple levels. want to see if you have posted any listening sessions in your room with the Harbeth and if you have made any changes in the past year. well done.

I have a long medium sized room and I'm considering these with a REL T7x sub. We finally have a dealer in town and they are easy to work with around auditions. Can't wait to try them out.

Just discovered that I have a Harbeth dealer in Montpellier. Spent an hour with passionate owner! Has the whole range in a very nice listening room.

Can you please tell if you are still enjoying your Harbeths in a near field setup? Thinking of getting a pair?

I have 3 grey market reissues,and they sound very good,but the quality of the vinyl is actually worse evn though there is minimal surface noise,and is there a way to make those bootleg labels go out of business?

The Audio Innovations S500 is a fire hazard and a risk to your speakers. I used to have one myself actually a lot of years ago. Never leave it on unattended.

That room is identical to my own, are you in Hampshire? The style of house building is so exact. I would not dare have equipment like that in my house due to the horrendous crime rate in our area (Liss) And a scared to death police force just in case the 'suspects' happen to be black / foreign !

Longer loudspeaker wires would be beneficial.

Nice to see you back, even if it's only briefly. Thanks for the video - prices are stabilising it seems.

Which stands do you hope to have? I think open frame stands are suggested, and my own experience is that leaving a little space between the bottom of the speaker and the stand, really opens up the soundstage. They are beautiful. Very happy for you.

Love MOV records, usually very nicely made and well priced. Ill check out Blue Hour. Moanin is such a classic.. cheers

I know its been 8 months since you posted this video but I just stumbled on it because I've been looking at Harbeth videos. What I find amazing is the Audio Innovations S500 integrated amp. I had one of those back in lhe late 70's early 80's time period. Unfortunely it blew-up for lack of a better term and was beyond repair. I absolutely loved that amp and have always wanted to replace it, but have been unable to find one in reasonably good condition. I certainly hope yours lasts forever. What a great piece both visually and sonically.

Ive got pmc's and heard a lot about Harbeths

I think your record buying this year reflects my own regarding the Blue Note reissues. I did,however, buy this album although I have only played it once! I look forward to getting familiar with it in the new year. Keep up the good work though 👍🏼

Hiya mate does the zerstat help with clicks and pops?

What's your system comprised of?

ordered the catch a fire jamaican LP like four years ago....still waiting.

Use the zero stat while holding the album. The album should not be on the turntable.

I disagree with the name of the channel. It must be „CD rules“!

That's a beautiful and sturdy hifi rack👍

I have been looking for a copy of Joan Armatrading and gave up. Great news .

What about adding a subwoofer? Just asking

Nice Chanel . I live in france. Plenty of bargains here in my region- Montpellier

Let's have that follow up! Discovered these today. I have a similar small room. Currently have Q Acoustic 5010's and Monitor Audio Radius 90's "on loan". The P3's are a significant jump in price, but I'm currently chasing the dragon.

Will you be doing a full review if these beauts?

I’ve a small room, with an Elex - r amp, currently using Dali Oberon 5s but would these Harbeths be worth the stretch?

Tou need watss to drive them! In near field they are so great that i wanted for PC setup but to rear wall they do not play they need 2 meters of air and near field, magic happens! Now i has C7xd ;)

No Jazz?

Fantastic! New subber here, happy to be aboard! 😊

I was at a great demo by harbeth main man.

hello there was no way to compare them with PMC 5.21i?

Those Harbeths are very neat, they must be some of the best sound per square inch speakers out there! :)

Nice. Didn't know about the Chicago record at all. Good to see you posting regularly, these videos are a welcome shift in tone from many out there and deserve a bit more exposure :)

New to the channel - nice video thanks for making. I have about half a dozen of the CBS Half speed masters from the early 80s. The first one I picked up was the Boston self titled debut about 2 years ago and it absolutely destroys my UK first pressing. I haven’t paid any more than 20 quid for any of them and I will definitely buy more if I see them in the wild, but not prepared to spend more than say 30 quid on them. With regards to Tapestry it was never a well recorded album so it’s really a case of just making it as good as possible. I’m too lazy when it comes to 45rpm 2LP reissues and I do feel it spoils the flow of an album so the difference has to be quite marked for me to go down that route. Anyway I sold my Tapestry One Step when I got the CBS mastersound as I was more than happy with the sound of it. Take care, cheers.

Nice SL7, I have one.

The Mulligan LP (his great band with incomparable Art Farmer) was originally on Mercury - absolutely tops fr late night romantic manuevers

If you get a chance to try the Revel M126Be speakers, they are insane. I have never listened to music which just appears out of thin air. When I close my eyes you would not have a clue as to where they are. I was listening last night, and the music was hanging in mid air. Amazing experience. Just goes to show what research and engineering can achieve. Hope you have many happy hours with the Harbeth speakers.👍 Just got myself a new turntable and phono amp that was made by Michael fidler, that is also fantastic. I been left three thousand LP's by my late uncle, so I got plenty of material . But I did splash out on" kind of blue 45 UHQR ", holy cow !

Superb vid! Nice intimate set up there! Great records. Love those Art Peppers!

Any reason for not going with headphones? One aspect I like about speakers is feeling the bass through the body, but given the near field setup, playing at low volumes and no sub there wont be a gain in that sense.

I bought catch a fire and burning from universal then as we all know had to wait next few yrs until they have seen the light and as with a lot people had been sent out free copies by universal Thank jah my copy's are ok as I've read on the steve hoffman forum many copy's of theses pressings came badly warped and scuffed because they used paper sleeves God knows why makes no sense Also as they have been in storage over last few years and been stacked on top eachother I asume the hot conditions of jamaican weather haven't been kind to lot pressings eg warped and damaged copy's It's nice to have the pressing of catch a fire with the tuff gong red label with the drummer boy on it as an original go for big prices now I live in Australia and I hate to think if they sell copy's here how much they will go for

I thought for a mo that you might have popped in to see Fred at Sam records (in Paris).

Just bought the whole set every album off Amazon US

Nice one, got Exodus ordered from this...much cheaper than Amazon they are for sale! Not ordered from this outlet before (hope all ok) cheers

I really wish that Sony would get on this and do their own series doing the back catalogue of Columbia records. A glaring omissions in today’s market I think. I know that there’s a Japanese series, but I’ve never seen them sold over here in the UK. Yes, there are copies of MoFi and Analogue Productions floating around, and Music On Vinyl is doing a stellar job, but a full on series with the global reach of Acoustic Sounds / Tone Poet / Classic Vinyl would be incredible.

That Propaganda is a real surprise. I love Duel but never got the album.... well, not yet anyway :)

Great to see you back! Looking forward to seeing the Harbeths.

Why would someone, after paying $ for a pair of speakers, want to hide them? I recently purchased a 2023 Corvette ZO6 coupe. It was fairly expensive. I am not going to hide it, in the back part, of our 25 acres. I know that is not quite the same but you get the idea.

There is a good reason they are rare: they did not sell!
