Hi Freo-1
"Can you provide some insight about your speakers? Harbeth is one of the speaker brands I've been interested in"
I have been completely happy with the Harbeth they live up to their reputation in everyway. I was only able to hear them once at Axpona with the Vinnie Rossi Lio but I knew they were a speaker that would be great in my system. They play all music well but really excel with Acoustic, Jazz, Blues, Americana and Female Vocals. IMHO I do feel a sub is needed if you are used to having real low end in your system.
