I visited Harry in 1984 or '85 and spent a pleasant afternoon listening
to music on the big Infinities. But yes, the room was smaller than I was
expecting.

You have to remember that Harry used line-source speakers in this room
and they interact with the room acoustics very differently compared with
something like the B&W 801. Yes, the low frequencies were exaggerated in
HP's room, but the sound was otherwise superbly well-balanced.
