Incorporating the improvements developed in the justly-famed Anniversary Editions, the XD series are the best Harbeth yet!
The Super HL5 XD loudspeaker. The ultimate British domestic monitor
- The definitive Harbeth speaker
This
model is the latest and greatest iteration of the legendary Harbeth
HL-Monitor Mk1 from 1977 that launched the Harbeth company. In
continuous production through several design generations since its
inception, now featuring Harbeth's RADIAL2™ driver and a radically new
approach to the crossover. The HL5plus gets
the very best from the Harbeth-made 200mm RADIAL2™ bass/mid driver in a
cabinet is skillfully designed according to the pioneering research
undertaken by the BBC. The system sound is large, powerful and
transparent with an astonishing freshness. No wonder the SHL5 family is
such a worldwide legend.
The SuperTweeter extends the system response to the upper edge of the audio band and beyond.
Harbeth's Super HL5 XD loudspeaker produces a huge soundstage of width, depth and weight for a total immersion in the musical performance.
