Harbeth P3-ESR
I am ordering a pair of P3-ESR in cherry for my tiny office. Very very low SPL ( the room is 5 square meters ! don't laugh ! ) and aweful arrangement with the speakers in my back but I fell in love with the Harbeth sound like I never did with any other speaker and I am starving for this mids.
Will pair them with my beloved McIntosh MA5100, a Squeeze Box Touch and a Schiit Bifrost.

Re: Harbeth P3-ESR
howard butcher block conditioner- mineral oil and both beeswax and carnuba- I don't plan to do it often and harbeth really does not advise it but the room it is in gets very warm and i felt some protection was needed btw harbeth does have their own site and recs- i think you must sign up first

Re: Harbeth P3-ESR
Congrats ! One of the best speakers for small spaces. They would probably be my choice as well. But before you try them in your small office - put them on stands in a medium sized room. They will amaze you.
