'TAS' top rankings for Harbeth
THREE of the Harbeth models make The Absolute Sound (USA's prestigious audio magazine) '2012 Editor's Choice Awards' listings.

The Harbeth P3ESR: "This latest version of Alan Shaw's sub-compact
monitor is so cannily designed it almost transcends the limitations
of its genre. Neutrality and natural tonal balance reign supreme,
but this one can also play loud and descend to depths in the bass
Exceptional driver integration, coherence, and openness also
characterize the design".

Harbeth C7ES-3: "Arguably the ne plus ultra of BBC two-way designs,
with bass down to 45Kz, an essentially perfect midrange, and a top
end that reproduces ambience fantastically, the 7ES-3 will play loud
enough for serious music listeners(though not for head-bangers).
With respect to accuracy, neutrality, and natural tonal balance, the
7 establishes a new benchmark for compact two-ways".

Harbeth M40.1: "The new version of the M40 has a slightly more
forward midrange, more "domesticated" (less "pro" tonal balance and
higher sensitivity. A BBC-style three-way monitor, with Harbeth bass
and mid drivers and SEAS Excel tweeter. Neutral sound, exceptional
midrange clarity, refined and extended treble, almost full bass
extension in the room, and surprisingly 'outside the box' imaging".

"This is a magnificent achievement", says Harbeth's designer and MD, Alan Shaw, "and wonderful news in this the company's 35th anniversary year.:clapping:

Zut alors! - high praise for P3 in Canada
Highly-respected Canadian audiophile publication Le Magazine Son & Image found the Harbeth P3 mini-monitor 'outstanding', 'very natural', and capable of 'an exceptional communication between the artist and the listener'.

"This is high praise indeed", acknowledges Harbeth's marketing man, Trevor Butler. "Reading the in-depth article, it becomes clear quite quickly that the reviewer is enamoured with Alan's shoebox-sized design and the latest implementation of the Harbeth RADIAL cone technology."

The review, in French, covers five pages and is flagged on the cover (see left).
Reviewer Jan-Erik Nordoen says of the P3 (translated)... "The P3ESR are endowed with a capacity of outstanding communication, reproduction of voice is disarmingly natural and brings a foreshortening with the artist who cannot remain indifferent. ... I could write a further 2000 words on these speakers to try to convince you, but without reaching the evidence that five minutes of listening will give you. Bring your favourite discs with you to a Harbeth dealer and treat yourself."

High praise, indeed.

THREE COVETED Golden Ear Awards now sit in the display cabinet at Harbeth HQ as the companys traditional studio monitor designs have been award the pinnacle of audio acclaim for the third time in recent years.:clapping:

Latest to receive the accolade is the recently introduced Monitor 30.1 model.
Golden Ear
A new masterpiece from the designer Alan Shaw, is how legendary audio journalist Paul Seydor described the Harbeth Monitor 30.1. His comments earned the loudspeaker a revered Golden Ear Award from prestigious audiophile magazine The Absolute Sound.

Paul Sedor went on to describe the M30.1 as ...the best compact two-way speaker system Ive ever heard, regardless of type, cost, or complexity.... As for the sound quality, he says, the midrange is simply ravishing, the bottom end is extended without any hype, resolution and transparency are state of the art, and dynamic range is sufficient to play orchestral music at natural levels in typical US living rooms. Paul also notes how the Monitor 30.1 is a speaker you can listen to for hours on end without fatigue, yet its accuracy is such that it is a true reference monitor. In conclusion, he predicts that it will become a classic design.

Originally conceived as a drop-in replacement for the LS5/9 mid-sized BBC studio monitor speaker, the Harbeth M30.1 has won a succession of international awards since it was launched in Munich last year.

To collect a third Golden Ear for the Harbeth Monitoring Series is truly awesome, says Walter Swanbon from Harbeth USA. It just proves that even the BBC legend lives on thanks to the application of key technology.:clapping:
