In Reply to: My tastes in sound seem to be virtually identical to yours. posted by jsm on February 7, 2006 at 12:57:18:
" I thought the [Harbeth Monitor] 40s had a glorious midrange, but were a bit bright and analytical for me."They are not a bright, analytical speaker, so as you suggest, the electronics may have been at fault. They are absolutely neutral through the entire midrange, honest to a fault, thanks to their very highly resolving midrange driver; and they have a gorgeous high end, thanks to one of the best tweeters in the world. They ARE monitors. They do tell us what's in the recording. But they haven't the cold, stern quality associated with truly analytical speakers. We may be arguing here over what "analytical" means in audio, but I think it is generally considered a pejorative term, referring to a recognizable coolness. Harbeths do tend to sound objective compared to Spendors and Harbeths, but at the risk of quibbling, I hate to see the word "analytical" applied to them.
