Audio Nirvana Found!

Posted by: Gingerbeard on 13 February 2016

I have just taken delivery of a used pair of Harbeth P3ESRs in mint condition and hooked them up to my humble system (Unitiqute 2,  NAP100, Rega Apollo R). Boy, they are something else. There just seems to be a truly wonderful synergy with my system now, perhaps I've got lucky or its just that Naim and Harbeth are a perfection match, I don't know! What I do know is that my music has never sounded so good and the detail that comes through really, really surprised me. Listening to the live version of Cherry Wine by Hozier and there were birds twittering in the background, which I had never realised were there let alone heard before. For such small units the sound stage is breath taking, I feel like I am transcending to another place  

Best thing is my good lady is out for the night so I have several hours of losing myself in my favorite music  In all honesty, I couldn't be happier...

Happy days indeed Wenger, I had been holding out for a pair in the right finish and at the right price but hadn't heard them prior to purchase. A cardinal sin I know! All the reviews online spoke incredibly highly of them. These have replaced my PMC DB1i's which are lovely speakers, but truly not a patch on the Harbeths. It's like a quantum leap in comparison, which I was not expecting. Vocals just sound so natural, instruments so real and they seem to be great with many different types of music. I know it's early days, but I can't ever imagine me wanting or needing to replace these. I can't recommend them highly enough and it's only my first day listening to them, worth every penny
