Harbeth speakers are constantly lauded for clarity, detail and accuracy of timbre. In reviews, little is made of the speakers' deep bass response or power, or performance of large-scale orchestral works--Mahler, Bruckner, etc.
Anyone familiar with these speakers care to weigh in on this question?
Many thanks.
