walked into a local store today tried out some SLH 5+ (SHL? anyway, those ones).
Have to say although they were being underdriven by a fairly competent-if-underwhelming integrated, acoustics were great...they really aren't my kind of speaker. I love the stand-mounted three way design and they are certainly very well built and exceptionally detailed, but what I got off them was kind of like "Castles with balls. but not much more balls." I just got the sense they're kind of polite and sweet but not terribly rip-roaring fun if you know what I mean.
Anyway just a thought, no slag meant to Harbeth owners, they're clearly very good speakers and as I said to the shop manager, I could see them being the kind of speaker that, should a customer want them, they'd really never want anything else.
