GLOBAL REVIEW round-up<br />

Recent glowing praise for <strong>Harbeth</strong> from international magazines<br />

USA - M30.1<br />

Sam Tellig writes in the internationally<br />

respected Stereophile magazine<br />

(Nov 2012) how he had been eagerly<br />

awaiting a pair of Monitor 30.1s since<br />

hearing that they were being launched<br />

at the Munich show in May. He admits<br />

to preferring stand-mounted speakers,<br />

pointing out how big floor-standers<br />

“spoil resolution, bloat bass and impair<br />

imaging”, as well as making cabinet<br />

resonances more difficult and expensive<br />

to control.<br />

His first impressions of the M30.1?<br />

He found a midrange which is “nothing<br />

short of ravishing” and summed up the<br />

<strong>Harbeth</strong> sound in two words... tonality<br />

and resolution.<br />

In his column (below), the audio<br />

expert tells his readers how <strong>Harbeth</strong><br />

delivers this tonality and resolution<br />

without taking the listener “over the<br />

edge” into exhaustion and fatigue,<br />

admitting this is an “extremely delicate<br />

balance”, but one which “no one does<br />

better than <strong>Harbeth</strong>”.<br />

JAPAN - P3ESR<br />

We are very flattered that the<br />

virtuosos Russian pianist Irina<br />

Mejoueva chose<br />

to audition a pair<br />

of <strong>Harbeth</strong> P3ESR<br />

mini monitors<br />

and wrote-up<br />

her experience<br />

in Japan’s Stereo<br />

Sound magazine’s<br />

autumn issue.<br />

She remarked on the very attractive<br />

finish from the real wood veneer and “a<br />

great sound, too”. She found the overall<br />

balance “very good” as she listened<br />

to recordings on the shoe-box sized<br />

monitors.<br />

JAPAN - C7ES3<br />

Three pages of Japan’s Stereo<br />

magazine (Sept 2012 issue, just<br />

arrived) are devoted to an in-depth<br />

feature on the <strong>Harbeth</strong> history<br />

and pedigree. Makoto Sasamoto<br />

Supporting local girl’s fight to beat homelessness<br />

HARBETH was pleased to support a<br />

local athlete in the top sports brand<br />

Nike’s Run To The Beat charity run.<br />

On 28th October, Lorna put on<br />

her running shoes and lined up to<br />

run her socks off in London’s music<br />

half marathon raising money for<br />

the charity Depaul UK. “They offer<br />

homeless and disadvantaged young<br />

people aged 16-25 the opportunity<br />

to fulfil their potential and move<br />

“...no one does<br />

it better than<br />

<strong>Harbeth</strong>”<br />

forward towards an independent<br />

and positive future”, she explains.<br />

“And this is such a worthy cause and<br />

one I was pleased to support.”<br />

Lorna completed her 21km and<br />

thanked <strong>Harbeth</strong> Audio for their<br />

generous donation. “It helped me<br />

towards making a difference for<br />

those in need and getting young<br />

people off the streets this winter.”<br />

http://www.depauluk.org/<br />

of <strong>Harbeth</strong> Japan<br />

says, “We Japanese<br />

strongly believe<br />

that the character<br />

of a loudspeaker<br />

is a reflection of its<br />

country’s cultural<br />

and musical heritage.<br />

There is nothing more<br />

British than a <strong>Harbeth</strong> which perfectly<br />

symbolises the Japanese’s deep respect<br />

for British values.”<br />

“The whole <strong>Harbeth</strong> philosophy<br />

reflects the Best of British and this article<br />

again emphasises that,” he explaines..<br />

“...midrange<br />

nothing short of<br />

ravishing”<br />
