I have a feeling that those folk who view this item know exactly what these speakers are. However, for those new to Harbeth, I will provide a little background. The Harbeth philosophy has its roots in the BBC and their desire to produce monitors that would accurately represent the sound, so engineers could be sure the broadcast was consistent from one venue to another. A great place to start as the BBC is the acknowledged gold standard when it comes to audio. These speakers derive from one of the many famous designs from the BBC used in studio monitoring, however, they have been adapted more for home use. This include improvements to drive units, for which Harbeth is very proud, and also to the crossovers to enable them to be driven more easily by home audio gear. These speakers are the medium sized offering, which will work in a wide range of rooms to produce a detailed, dynamic yet smooth sound. Used on the end of first class source and amplification, they are capable of truly extraordinary performance. Alan Shaw of Harbeth, unlike some designers, is not in the habit of changing direction on design every 2 years. Each new version represents a small incremental update on a very successful, settled design. The new version of this speaker has near identical specifications and a sound signature that is nigh on identical. The latest version, is however, over £4,500. What to say of this pair. Simply put, they are mint. New in September 2020 with little use since then, the Eucalyptus real wood veneer is beautiful and unmarked. Please see the photos. They are boxed in the original packaging and you can collect them or arrange your own courier. I will not ship them as I do not want to take the risk of damage and have to deal with the pain of claims from couriers. As I said, you can arrange your own but there will be no refund once they have left my hands. For shipping purposes each of the two boxes is 57cm x 38cm x 38cm and weighs 15Kg. I will be happy to deliver or meet you or up to 50 miles from Wirral, at a mutually convenient time, for 50p per mile one way. You’ll find many reviews on the Web, but here’s what Paul Seydor of The Absolute Sound said of them: As befits its monitor status, the 30.1 boasts high neutrality, superb resolution, and a matching of drivers with respect to coherence and sonic character that is equaled by only a small handful of multiple-driver dynamic loudspeakers in my experience. Speaking with a single voice in a way reminiscent of Quad ESLs, it is also of similar seriously low coloration and distortion, high transparency, and musical authority. The Monitor 30.1 is at once a never-ending joy to listen to and highly revealing, its supremely natural tonal balance neither accentuating the unpleasant qualities of bad recordings nor enhancing the pleasant qualities of good ones. This is one speaker for which the cliché rings completely true: You can listen to it without fatigue for literally hours on end.
