@@hifisam excellent review and overview. I have the 30th anniversary model of these Harbeth speaker. I am planning to upgrade to ether the 40th anniversary or XD version. I have planning to use separate mono blocks for HF & LF on the 30th or -40th anniversary. I see that there are only one set of speakers terminals on the XD version. Interested in your thoughts
It looks like Harbeth have kept the original 310mm long port, but have changed the airflow by lining the port with 10mm thick foam [guesstimated] and place a foam bug at the very end of the port inside the cabinet. I'm thinking this change in airflow from the port would account to most of the reported tighter bass over previous models.....apart from the crossover changes.
@@hifisam I asked my friend at Stereo.net.au a Australian HiFi forum, who has just got a pair of SHL5+ XD to take a photo of the ports. Not only have Harbeth partially line the ports, but they have used two different densities of foam [ which was news to me], I'll link you to the forum where the photos are posted. it will be on P3 of the thread. The first photo shows a picture of my old SHL5's port as a comparison, the second is the duel layers of foam in the XD's port, and the third how far the foam is from the front of the port. www.stereonet.com/forums/topic/507587-wanna-see-me-new-harbeths/page/3/#comments I hope this is some help to you and your followers : ]
Hi there ^^ ProAc D48r? is a somewhat different league bigger volume and response range, that will require bigger room, stronger amplifier, and more in tuned skill too :)
@@georgekoutromanos112 Lovely amplifier you have ^^ You may agree 590 is beautifully textured and soft as it can be. Among 3 you are considering, Spendor Classic 100 looks the best to sound attractive and smoothly textured. Very romantic it will be when you like this sort of style. And Fine F702 will be the next it will sound more straightforward, clear, and sturdy though rather than Spendor. Again, ProAc D48r needs enough power and not a good match with 590 ^^
@@georgekoutromanos112 For me? there'll be some recommendable matches. My likeness goes for Tannoy recent GR and Heritage first. And Harbeth Compact ones too ^^
Thank you very much for your detailed and informative review of the Harbeth XD version. Please keep up the good work!
Thanks so much~
Will keep you updated I promise ^^
Great to see other reviewers make content on Harbeth :)
Hope you keep making English content, I enjoyed it a lot!
Good to hear, thanks ^^
Soon you'll see next issue, possibly more interesting one~

Thank you, Uncle Ssam. I learned a great deal about Harbeth and XD today. I look forward to watching the next RUclips posting.
^^ Thanks so much
My pleasure in return to hear you enjoyed the footage~ Next will be more I promise
Great review! I know that you have 20+ years in experience in the audio world and I hope your reviews in english continue!
Thanks so much~
My English matters to express what I want to tell in detail ^^
I believe it will be evolving and you’ll see next one very soon~
great video man, thank you so much!
Thanks for enjoying it~
This is amazing product!

Do you prefer Harbeth M30.2 xd or shl5 plus xd? Which one is best for rock music?
SHL5 is supposed to have wider performance range~ however both are not intended for rocking ^^ not the best for rock music I mean
Nice contemporary history of Harbeth
Nice you like it ^^
You may agree every Harbeth products need to be introduced with their history~

가족목소리로 변화를 구분했다는게 대단해 보입니다. XD에 대해 잘설명해주셔서 감사합니다.
시원치않은 영어를 정확히 알아들어주셔서 감사합니다 ^^
정작 잉글리쉬 권에서 잘 알아들어주면 좋겠네요 ㅎㅎ
@@hifisam 저가 잉글리쉬는 잘못하지만 선생님이 충분히 알아듣게 잘해주셨습니다...
그뤠잇~ 입니다 ^^
oh.... WOW!!!!
ㅋㅋ
Gamsahamnida~
아이고 간신히 알아들었네 수고했으요
그뤠잇~ ㅎ
오 샘아재님 영어도 잘 하시고, 덕분에 하베스 공부도 하고 영어도 공부도 합니다 짱~~♡
^^ 감사합니다
영어는 한참 더 해야 겨우 어색함을 면할 거 같아요 ㅎ
오우예 나~~이쓰!!!!!!!!!!!
ㅎㅎ
Wow English !!
ㅎㅎ 해외구독자용이어요
요즈음세상에 홍수첢 쏟아져나오는 스피커중에서 믿고들을수있는 몇안되는스피커 !! 저는 하베스와 B&W 만 보유중입니다^^
^^ 전엔 감성적인 부분이 좀더 큰 이유였는데,
갈수록 하이파이적으로 보완이 되어가는 하베스입니다~
How do they compare with the B&W 805 D3 speakers?
☺️
Nice review, toooooo many jump cuts though. It hurt my brain.
^^ Sorry and Regret. I had to stop frequently against my willingness. Cheer me up for the next that is expected to have almost no cut~
이 스피커에 프리마루나 에보400 고려중인데요 찰떡궁합 앰프 추천해주시면 감사하겠습니다
네 에보400의 말쑥하고 스피디한 스타일도 잘 맞겠습니다. 같은 EL34를 투명하고 나긋하게 재생하는 유니슨리서치 S6 mk2 늘 추천하고 있구요. 그리고 하베스의 오리지널리티에 근접하는 앰프로 NAD의 분리형 - C658 + C298 도 강추합니다~
@@hifisam 에보는 나긋하지않고 텅솔6550 은 힘이 부족하고 유니슨 오디아플라이트 나드 네임 도시락 물려봐야갰습니다
참 오디오 정답없고 어렵습니다
감사드립니다

VS Graham ls9 and ls5/9 please ?
Hello there 😀
SHL is little bit bigger and more resonant than 5/9
And sorry not had a chance to monitor LS9 yet~
@@hifisamHave you heard the Graham LS 8/1?

You’ll be happy with this XD version when you consider more ‘accurate’ Harbeth~
Harbeth speakers are overpriced. So many better options
Yes ^^ go for your own one.
That’s so many Herberth fans, so you don’t need to make friends with what it’s not clear to get
Vs Proac d 48r?
Hi there ^^
ProAc D48r? is a somewhat different league
bigger volume and response range, that will require bigger room, stronger amplifier, and more in tuned skill too :)
Im between Proac d48r,Spendor classic 100 and Fyne f702.,My amblifier is Luxman 590 mk2.The best speaker for my amb?
