I seriously would like a pair of the studio monitors M40.2 . They make me smile whenever I hear them. I didn't get to Bristol this year, but I am looking forward to hearing the XD treatment on the M40.2.
Oh yes! Been waiting for this. Sounds messy when the volume goes up. On the softer music it seems more refined, a bit more, seemingly. How would you describe the sound? New price is pretty steep ...
@@hushpuppykl If I get the chance to I will but I haven't spoken to them about it so its probably not likely at it stands. If that changes I will let you know :)
Pursuit Perfect System ... hope you do. Your recordings are one of the much better ones here on RUclips. Just speak with Alan and do not talk with him about exotic cables etc 😂🤣
I will try but as I start every conversation with the same question "what exotic cables do you use in your system" it might not go as planned :) hahaha
I’ve never understood small speakers on great big stands.....may as well have full size. I’m going to buy the new P3ESR-XD’s but will place them conveniently on table, shelf, nook, or cranny and I’ll bet I’ll still love them. Thanks!
Follow up: I’ve had my Harbeth P3ESR-XD’s for 6 months and couldn’t be happier. Smooth, warm yet clear, very pleasant to listen to. I’m hooked on them and don’t even use nice stands! Great sound….
@@harisshaukat4780 I plan to use them someday on a desktop or simply buy another pair for that. It sounds crazy but I have them placed on stands left & right near field by my easy chair. I run a MacBook-Pro into a McIntosh MHA150 Headphone Amp with built-in DAC. I also use Focal Stellia Headphones for when my wife is still sleeping or watching TV in the same room.
Now THAT’s what I call speakers! Lovely smooth sound without any sense that the speakers are adding their own little bit.
Crazy how good this sounds 2nd generation like this. The midrange is pure magic.
The Harbeth dem was by far my favourite at Bristol. Absolutely stunning.

Is that the Claire Martin version of “The people that you never get to love” ? This must be the best ever cover of this song.
Looking forward to hearing these in person. I love my standard p3's, the 40th editions didn't convince me to get them. Maybe this new XD model will!
effortless sound.... dam....
To be fair they pack quite a punch considering how small they are
Hmmmm. They sound like my Quads, impressive.
Sounds like they need to trim the product range; a very clever way to achieve this!

I think a big part of that is me being off axis and then the recording is off a bit as a result, rather than being in the middle.
Pursuit Perfect System ... aaaaah ok. Fair enough. Will you be reviewing it? Or will you be able to tell what are your first impressions? 😬

@@mrg1911 I just ordered a set, I'm so excited!
@@mrg1911 are you using them on a desktop? What amp and dac are you using?

Which Hegel Amp were they using?
The slim one I think the 190
So was this demo with the Hegel, and which Marantz they had as well ? Thanks.
@@gokceyildirim Yes the slimline Hegel and there was a Marantz CD player and laptop sources.
Wish they designed a floorstander with a footprint elongated front to back than left to right.
Check out the QED 79 strand speaker cable...no snake oil needed here
totally unrelated comment Nick?
Nick S you mean the cables used in this demo were the QED 79 cables ?
They sound the same as my headphones
The reason why I don’t attend hi-fi shows...the awful demo music..
