Harbeth C7ES-3 XD Loudspeaker

Description

The icon of clarity and detail -

ESSENTIAL NEUTRALITY AND NATURAL TONAL BALANCE

Allow sensational music moments to come to life at the comfort of your home with the multi-award winning, medium-sized C7ES-3 XD loudspeaker. Acclaimed for its accurate three-dimensional sound, this speaker will impress even the most religious demands of an audiophile.

The Harbeth secret for accuracy and lifelike sound is the meticulous attention to detail during the design stage. Critically important, but hidden, is the crossover, which carefully integrates the drive units across a wider horizontal and vertical arc. Incremental changes to this fundamental component have allowed this legendary loudspeaker to present the most challenging instruments with increased presence and transparency.  

No other loudspeaker communicates the emotional power of the artist so eloquently.

REVIEWS:
 

Part Time Audiophile: "That’s what the Compact 7 is all about—it is immensely enjoyable, likable and yet rare in terms of performance.

"The Harbeth C7ES-3 XD monitors continue that warm and engaging character into 2022, and it’s clear that Alan Shaw wants to preserve those unique characteristics of each of his speakers and their BBC heritage as well.

"For me, it’s been a bit more personal than usual with this speaker, and I’ll have to relive it all when I review the Naim SuperNAIT on its own. Yes, this is a great match, but it’s bigger than that. The idea of spending about 5K on speakers and 5-6K on amplification is probably a common subject among audiophiles, and here you go, my definitive answer on the subject. The Harbeth C7ES-3 XD remains, after all these years, as a top recommendation, thanks to Alan Shaw’s continuing efforts to improve his now legendary designs." - Marc Philips
