Harbeth Compact 7-ES3 loudspeaker

We’re very smitten with this modest-looking medium-sized monitor from England, finding that it redefines what we thought was possible at this price point. On the outside it’s a somewhat standard two-way box (albeit it with a beautiful eucalyptus veneer), but on the inside there some serious engineering going on. We found it to be a relatively small speaker “without fault” that changed our thinking about the price-performance ratio.
