I've briefly listened to the M30.2 Anniversary at the dealers yesterday when I went there to collect something. It's not that I'm interested to listen to any of the Harbeth models as I've previously experienced all other Harbeth models (except the Super HL5 Plus Anniversary). The finish looks very nice indeed. Very classy and elegant, but that's where it ends. IT's the sound quality that counts and regrettably just like the M30 and 30.1 that failed to impress everytime I tried, the 30.2 also falls into that category. In a very live room which is certainly useful (diffusion panels at the ceiling covering an area of approximately 3m x 4m) played several tracks and the vocals on some recording are very nice. Few more recordings the same dullness with the Monitor series was experienced. It doesn't have the spacious and live sound of the Super HL5 Plus (and Compact 7ES3). The sound is too clean and shut-in which isn't to my taste.
