After more of an in-depth listening session today | I came away realizing what I was taught during my days as a primary audio hardware buyer, which I turn allowed me the privilege of traveling to factories like said Linn | Naim mentioned earlier, where some of these teachings lingered in the back of my mine every since said period of 1984-1992, based upon the concept of what the British termed P.R.A.T. ( where I've since felt the " P " part just as easily could've referred to " Pitch " ) | as well as an emphasis on Synergy, where many Americans remained in the dark on both, in so far as not understanding like children ( and some grown ups I'd add ) that never fully learned how to play well together | or more important listen to or respect the wisdom of their elders, said statement is based upon what I believe is a major source towards Brit-Fi on a whole, it's because they believe in accuracy of vocal recordings or the vital midrange as some of us hear it.

Case in point, I've never experienced any brand other than Harbeth resonate in a very very emotional | accurate manner when it comes to rendering any vocalist ( male or female ) with such a sense of realism of which even more expensive brands can't touch, granted to my ears, they've rather on the slow side | lack dynamic shadings as well as the capabilities of not falling apart which trying their best to reproduce complex passages without stumbling all over themselves | yet to my sense of listening into the notes themselves | balanced presentation isn't a given at any price point, dare I say?, I'm very very very taken with the timing | beauty of tonality - texture - the ability to reveal hidden nuances within each | every note as if isolated within its own bubble ( space ) placed correctly within the soundstage itself.

This coming from someone whom has owned Mini-Monitors once again from companies like Acoustic Energy | ADS | Audio Physics | AudioVector | B&W | Dali | DeVore Fidelity | Fried | Jamo | KEF | Linn | Quad | Paradigm | PSB | ProAc | Reference 3A | Rogers | Snell Acoustics | Spica | System Audio | Totem Acoustics | Usher | Vienna Acoustics, and at this stage in life, can in all honestly as I can put it.., don't miss any of them, taking into account where wisdom | the ability to trust in my ears | senses have placed me into a more mature way of hearing ( or getting beyond the BS! ) into the music itself as opposed to merely listening to sounds via my system or the hardware, and once again as I see it, as life whining down, I find myself in a much much happier place | state of consciousness. As in the end I've to look within and ask myself one very important question | if any of these prior brands were all that good, why have they all been long sold off?, therein lies the truth, in my case it's called growth | gaining a sense of awareness above all else.

Sorry to be standing atop a mountain | preaching to the choir | but it's merely a means of giving this companies the kudos here in the USA, that's long overdue.
