I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I'm finally getting my main system back after a year and a half in storage, but I don't think I want speakers as big as the Harbeth SHL-5s. I'm going to have it in a sunroom- they'll fit, but they'll dominate the space visually. I want something that sits back a bit more. Shorter stands could help, but maybe I just need to go with smaller stand mount speakers? The JBL L-82s are in another room so can't use those.
The problem is, the Harbeths are now worth maybe $2300 or so on the used market, and I don't think anything around that price is as good as they are. I'd love to find a pair of Monitor 30.1s but... ? Who knows. And those might be too big, too.
I'm just pondering out loud here. Any suggestions are welcome, knowing that I really like how natural the Harbeths sound and how well they disappear and sound of a whole. I'll know more when I get them here and set up....funds are REALLY tight now with some car repairs that all landed at once and just buying a condo, so it might be something down the road....
