It's landed in the SF Bay area! 9.5" 3-way with SB Acoustics Satori, Accuton, and RAAL drivers.

Interesting name, Rick.

What are the cabinet dimensions and specs?

One other question occurred to me - In this configuration, the woofer is placed very close to the other two drivers. Yet, I often see speakers where the woofer is more than a foot below the midrange driver. Why is this and how does it effect the sound?

Yet another question - Your photographs make it hard to tell, but are these floorstanders or could they be supported by low speaker stands?

I had a request for a cabinet with specific dimensions and it's 31.5" x 10 5/8" x 15" (HxWxD). It has very smooth vertical response and may sit this low or you can add a short stand. A taller cabinet is possible too if someone prefers that.

The crossover point of the woofer / dome midrange dictates that they be close together. The vertical integration is better this way.
The sensitivity is 86dB/2.83v/1M and bass response -3dB @35hz and -10dB @20hz (no room gain included). Easy to drive impedance, 6 ohms / nominal and 5.5 ohms minimum.  The size somewhat reminded me of some of the British speakers from Spendor and Harbeth, the latter inspiration for "Harbinger".

Thank you!

Impedance curve.

How much are the Harbinger pair and do they come in kit form as well ? thank you.

$6,100/pr. assembled including shipping to the CUSA. The kit is $3,000/pr. (includes everything except for the cabinets).

Here's the nearfield bass response. This is like measuring the output in a very large anechoic chamber and doesn't include any room gain.  The -3dB point is 35hz and -10dB @20hz.

That is some pretty impressive bass for a bookshelf speaker and I assume that is due to the 9.5" woofer.  So is this speaker essentially a Tempesta with a larger woofer?

It's a huge bookshelf. 

More of a floorstanding design and true, a larger version of the Tempesta.
