Very nice. Please give some more feedback on how you find them in due course. Thanks. Nice arrangement with the TV and speakers.
These were on my list but went with the B&W Formation Duo in the end.
I had been contemplating moving from SHL5+ Anni to M40.3. What room size do you have, if you don't mind my asking?See below for video of my system, with new Harbeth 40.3 XD recently added

Which M40 though? I've never heard any of them, but seen reports that bass is much tighter on M40.2 and M40.3 than the earlier M40.1. And boom can be a room problem rather than inherent in the speaker.When I heard M40 in a very large room, I was amazed the level of boom was annoying, unbelievable people pay asking price for such slow bas notes.
Nice setup!See below for video of my system, with new Harbeth 40.3 XD recently added

Nice setup!
I'm curious if you experience any bass boom or overhang/ringing with the speakers so close to the corners? (Whenever I see a speaker near a bare corner of a room I instinctively want to throw an absorber in there!)
Heard several editions of SHL5, both private and at shows, same issue, slow bas-notes, boom if too close to any furniture/walls.
Thats fully acceptable I think if it was budget speakers, you can hardly say budget and Harbeth XD in same sentence.
Hi there,
My room is relatively small, approx 12ft by 10ft and they work perfectly, no bass/boom issues... most probably my last speakers.
You're correct re the bass being much tighter than previous models.

I don't want to offend you! That is impossible because every room has room modes and small rooms even more and closer together.Hi there,

So far I'm pretty impressed but there still running in ,I did have a nightmare pairing them up to my google home app they just didn't want to known
at first but I got there in the end ,
Being bookshelf speakers I'm blown away with just how low they go (25Hz), at first the bass was a little boomy in my small room
But the hub's built in room correction sorted that all out for me.
I have yet to try the different matertunings my ones are running the stock 01 but I fancy trying the 3 way one and the 02 later
Compared to my old ATC SCM40 these sound much warmer and far better at lower volumes which suits my smaller room
Am I right that you also tried the M40.2 ? Just wondering how they compare with M40.3 XD, as I may have an opportunity to acquire a pair of these.
No offense taken, but I can only tell you what I hear and wouldn't have anything to gain by exaggerating.I don't want to offend you! That is impossible because every room has room modes and small rooms even more and closer together.
I have room modes with a SHL5 and a C7 XD in a bigger room (14,73 feet x 10,35 feet).
You have room modes at: 47Hz, 94Hz, 141Hz, 189Hz and 56,5Hz, 113Hz, 169,5Hz, 226Hz plus the vertical modes.
Yes, I did have the 40.2 for a few months, but they had a problem strictly of the Company's own making and they extremely kindly let me have the 40.3 by way of apology.
The 40.2 were very good, but lacked the dynamics and clarity of the new model... still no boom issues though.
Hope this helps... I live in the SE of England and you're welcome to have a listen any time.

My office system. I have two versions. See my thread about damage to my Dali Menuet SE https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/thr...menuet-se-speakers.250983/page-4#post-4251302 for why.
The images below are the version for teenager use:
System is: Dali Spektor 2, with Gato Dia 250S integrated amp and Opera Consonance CD120. Also got a Bluesound node 2i behind the TV.
When I have the room back to myself the Menuet SE's return:
Have to say that the Dali Spektors are really good for the money, I paid £160 for them new.
Best wishes, Peter
Looks like a nice setup. I ran a Gato DIA 250 for several years. Best integrated amplifier I ever owned in terms of sound and build quality. Lovely thing to use too.
