Harbeth Super HL5plus XD Monitor Loudspeaker

$9,995.00

The Ultimate British Monitor

Sometimes, just sometimes, we modern humans are guilty of huberous. It seems that everything needs to be the latest, glossiest and most techno fashionable, to be be desirable today and then throw-away-able tomorrow! This of course blinds us to to a few fundamental facts. Truly competent amplifiers were developed a hundred years ago and there is a reason why we used to make all those rectangular stand mount boxy speakers in the 1960s-1970s.

Don’t take my word for it!  please read the review via the link on this listing. This classic large stand mounted loudspeaker simply sounds wonderful. And whilst sound quality should be foremost in any speaker evaluation, we just love the slab sided, in your face retro look of these monitors. Take a closer look and you will see real state of the art, driver and crossover technology. Once satisfied that the components are high quality, take a look at the beautifully applied real wood timber veneer and highly polished finish.

Harbeth’s Super HL5plus XD, driven correctly, produces a huge sound stage of width, depth and weight for a total immersion in the musical performance. We were blown away!
