This is an extremely interesting story and I recommend reading the lot.

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.


However, this is the story according to Harbeth, and there are alternative takes on some twists and turns in the storyline, but all in all I think Harbeth is presenting it quite well.

These speakers remind me a bit of the Kliptsh speakers made in the USA. Are they similar sounding?

Not really. I have heard many Klipsch loudspeakers and a lot of the various BBC sets. I wouldn´t say they sound the same.


The story, as it is told at the Harbeth site is very informative and quite interesting. I recommend checking out those PDF files too.
