RE: Harbeth Compact 7es Sound - Congested? Question

When I reviewed the 7's years ago, I heard the same boxiness...in a large room (16 x 30 x 10). In a smaller room (12 x 24 x 8), it disappeared and they sounded very fine. My hypothesis at the time was that the 'BBC curve' built into them to dip the presence range a bit in small rooms where nearby boundaries would tend to reinforce that range, made them sound boxy in a larger room where boundaries (in my room some five feet away). 30's and 40's did not have that issue. Have never head the 5's but don't expect they have it either.
