Who is the "authorised HUG representative" ?
“...Has anyone heard the XD version of the Compact 7s? I believe the new prices are ludicrous for a bit of a crossover rethink, but I'd still be very interested to know how he's tweaked them.
lol - are you may be wondering what HUG is as well? Glad you did not ask about what independent means?)Who is the "authorised HUG representative" ?

Sorry, I don't understand the humour and I do know what independent means.lol - are you may be wondering what HUG is as well? Glad you did not ask about what independent means?)
Then there's the brainwashed, there seem to be some people which don't accept others opinion or allow them to free speech really.
Pretty much HUG is something of a "Heil" affaire where critic (even constructive) is not allowed, meaning a pure marketing tool to brainwash the remaining public audience.
Personally I just hate places where you can't express your view without being moderated, of course within generel AUP.
I hope Leo got his issues solved, this could be another lesson of "loss of reputation & sales" because Brands don't take their responsibility seriously.
In my opinion Harbeth should replace Leo's speakers with no cost for him (but an apology) provided this is a true story.
It's my fault that I noticed this. I apologize to Harbeth I seem to have ruined someone's idyll.They are cosmetic issues that won't bother some but do bother Peter Leo
Your position seems to me not entirely transparent. Are you saying that publishing a negative review about a product is unacceptable because it would upset the manufacturer of that product? This is a joke? Then let's stop posting positive reviews too, to be honest. Either we publish any of our opinions and experiences on the Internet, or we don't publish anything at all. Otherwise, there will be selectivity of opinions, which will lead to a subjective assessment of the goods of this company.but posting about problems on the web will have likely removed any desire at the Harbeth end to go above and beyond.

I have and the C7XD is absolutely fantastic. I prefer them over the SHL5+ 40th.A.E. and the M30.2 40th. A.E. but they need space as most Harbeth I have heard they can be boomy in the bass if you don't have enough space. But many people are used to room modes so they won't recognize it as much as I do. I was totally upset because of the price increase but they are worth the price IMO and the tamo ash is one of the most beautiful veneers I have seen.
I disagree with you. If I had read such a review before, I would have given up on the idea of buying Harbeth altogether. I'm sure there are other similar stories that are hushed up following your logic of thought. I do not want to hush up my experience, and this is my right. Are you worried about publishing experiences? By the way, my drivers have not been replaced yet.If it was a common problem, or one that Harbeth refused to fix, then you'd be well within your rights to publicly complain.
The speaker is still to big for my room as is my Living Voice R3R, but I like the speakers the most in the Harbeth 2-way lineup. Enough bass for bigger rooms IMO, clarity above the C7ES3 and the C7ES3 40th.A.E. but still draws you in and let you forgot about everything else. Charming but not boing or to warm.That's great that you've found the right speaker. From what I remember, we have very similar sized rooms, so I'm not surprised that the Compact 7s work so well. Have you ever managed to compare the XD with the C7ES3? I actually just bought a pair of C7ES3 as a nostalgia trip, since they were my main speaker a few years ago. I'm really enjoying them. They don't have the range and clarity of my Tannoy Eatons and I do still hear their flaws, but at the same time my breathing relaxes: they feel both intimate and dynamically, and just the right size for my room (4.5 x 3.5m). The lack of bass is quite noticeable after the Eatons, but I don't mind most of the time. One thing that this experiment has re-affirmed is how much Harbeths appreciate a powerful amp.

I hate that my new Harbeth have such a flaw. It upsets me. This Harbeth cannot change in any way. But I understand your need to protect Harbeth.it looks unusual which makes it interesting
But I understand your need to protect Harbeth.
