Our Standard and Anniversary models have continued to receive glowing reviews in 2019.

P3ESR Standard and 40th Anniversary model reviews

''Set-up in my main listening room in a small, nearfield configuration, music without a ton of
low-frequency content is stunning and spacious. The level of tonal correctness and the sheer amount of musical information they do reveal is exceptional for the price.

''So, if you're looking for a great small pair of speakers that will unobtrusively coexist in a modest living room, the Harbeths certainly get my vote.''  Read the full review on page 17.




Our limited edition P3ESR model was also described as "a force to be reckoned with" by Steve Guttenberg on CNET.

''The P3ESR's sound is at once romantic and musical and yet never feels overly cushy. The mid-bass is full, but never sloppy, the low-end is more satisfying than you might expect for a speaker as small as this. The little speaker projects a positively huge soundstage.



The Harbeth P3ESR 40th Anniversary loudspeakers are just the ticket for a well-heeled audiophile living in smallish apartments or homes.'' Read the full article. 

Finally, Long Live Vinyl reviewer, John Pickford, can find no fault with our mini monitor - the standard P3ESR - saying "The P3ESR is a brilliant speaker in the classic British tradition....probably the finest
shoebox-sized speakers available today." Read the full review.

Vuyani's journey to Harbeth

"I work offshore as a commercial diver. It’s a career choice that distances one from the joys of being home as often as your 9-5 job holders. It is through this fact I found myself drawn to music and other hobbies that have a lot to do with (solitude) and as I matured into my late 30s and into my 40s, I found myself growing out of the night life as we all know it. 

I had to replace the night activities with something for the now self discovered loner and homebody. This is when the idea of collecting L.Ps came to mind, so did the memories of my dad’s collection, and how at that time we (myself and my siblings) used them as frisbee! Knowing the value, I’m happy to say I’d ship my own kids to Siberia should they undertake that sport. 

In 2014 I started my collection and invested in a turntable first, and fell for the Marantz TT 15. At the time I had a Denom Receiver and Jamo 5.1. I needed a stand alone phono stage and managed to source one with Mark of Audionut - the mighty Graham Slee Gram 2. 

On a job out in the Congo, I met a man called Darren who introduced me to his brother Rodney who runs The Listening Room in Cape Town. He got all my attention and from that day I went online, looking at all the things I can never afford. 

Almost two years after, I decided to contact Rodney with my long story who had a pair of M30.1s. He sold the them before I could even have a listen but I purchased a pair and I am proud to say it was money well spent."

Music

"I am between genres and my open ear confuses my neighbors a bit. I go from Frank Sinatra to Dr. Dre, instrumentals to Madonna, and back to Deep House. However, you're more than likely to find me listening to Easy Listening Lounge."
