BBC monitor sounds. - My all time favorite.

[Paul]

As some of you may know I am a Huge fan of BBC monitor sounds. The Harbeth , Rogers , Spendor and ATC.

I do not see much love in here and decide to introduce the Britain sounds.

Let me start with my all time favorite ( Harbeth M40.1 )

Pair them with VTL Tl 5.5 Pre with ST85

I remember great Ken Kessler comparison ( in "Hi Fi News") of 11 versions of LS3/5A - LS3/5A HiFi News Shootout

ps. I should have this no. somewhere in my archives ;-)

Another Harbeth M40.1 with McIntosh.

Spendor SP100 ( very similar with M40.1 but sounds little more dark )

The Spendors sound fantastic! Nice setup with the Nagra gear.

The placement of the speakers isn't the same for comparisons sake, but I like the Spendor's better in these videos.

Yes Unfortunately... So I guess you prefer little darker sounds. Well Can't really judge over the camcorder and our computer speakers. Anyway When you hear the Jazz and Vocal you might have a different opinion Both are superb speakers. I do know for sure Doug , Jerome and Steve will like both speakers.

Roger LS3/5A .- It surprises me everyday.

1. Harbeth M40.1

2. Spendor SP100

Very interesting. Both sound good on my Mac Book but I can say undoubtedly that the timbres of the Harbeth are more natural. They sound more like real instruments.

I think the Harbeth line of speakers are very enjoyable to listen to! Great speakers. I enjoyed the youtube clip here. The music was very beautiful.

Do you own the 40.1's? I see your Avatar is the Innovation Wood….did you get one?

Yes , In deed . Lovely speakers.

This video clip was my room with my baby ( M40.1 ) and I sold them few months ago however I'm thinking really hard to purchase them again.

TT= I'm all over the place. I haven't purchase them yet.
