Acc. to Alan Shaw, Harbeth's sales, unlike many other "high-end" speaker manufacturers, are increasing each year, world-wide. And, the 40th Anniversary Series has been a smash success.

I had harbeth 30.2 with Primaluna Dialogue HP power and pre. I sold them for Focal sopra 2 with musical fidelity nuvista 600. I regretted from the moment the new gear arrived.
Harbeth is really a special speaker

Hi pjetrof,
I don't think anyone here has compared these two specific speakers side-by-side or someone would have contributed their input here, already.

The only meaningful comparison would be using identical system components, power distribution and cabling and musical content, otherwise any comparison would be anecdotal.

Last, everything will be dependent on your room, so the only accurate way for you to be able to obtain the information you seek to be able to make any informed conclusions is to listen to both speakers in your own room.

Thx Puma
I know been through Some bad decisions its dificult to get home demo s.
Story to long to write down. But let see because certain circumstances I had Focal sopra 2 with musical fidelity nuvista 600 I dont like iT full stop cant explain but dont like the sound.
Before I had harbeth with Primaluna and I like that sound. Cause budget reasons part Exchange the Focal and nuvista a certain dealer give the most money. He dont Carry harbeth and Primaluna but hè Carry Franco serblin spendor etc so I have a 12k budget speakers and amplifier. So was thinking accordo with audio analogue puccini but,cant,do home demo. So,I,was trying to get as much info from different people. I know its maybe pointless cause its very subjectieve

Why not just get another pair of Harbeths? That seems like the best solution as you liked them as much as you did....
