    Re: HARBETH MONITOR 40.2 Reveiw

    I'd love to compare Harbeth 40.2's with the Spendor SP100R-2's and SP200's.


    I only reluctantly sold my 40.1 after direct comparison with my Strads. Sadly, that was no contest. The Strads are just too good, IMO.

    Joe,

    I'm trying to buy the 40.2, but was also thinking about the Strad. Are the Strads still available to buy in the US? Do you know?

    Looks like the Strads have been discontinued.

    Yes it appears they have been morphed into the Homage Collection Group

    Serafino / Amati Tradition naming/etc

    Sad I likes the Strads

    Have heard the 40.1 and they were impressive. They say 40.2 should be better...
