Review of Harbeth Super HL5 plus speakers: Excellent result of a rejuvenation session

We, who had already enjoyed listening to the predecessors of the Super HL5 plus, were of course very interested to know how technological innovations affected the sound of the speakers.

Speaker RADIAL2

Midrange/woofer speakers with diffusers made of polypropylene are a trademark of Harbeth acoustics; in the late 70s, this material was proposed for such designs by the founder of the company, Dudley Harwood. However, today, inexpensive and convenient, it is usually used in heads for speakers in the budget and mass segments. The structure of this polymer is such that micro-vibrations in it are quickly converted into heat, without contributing to the emitted wave; Thus, the smallest details are lost in the sound.

However, back in the early 90s, research was carried out in Harbeth (with the involvement of state funds) that made it possible to create RADIAL cones based on polypropylene, providing the highest detail of sound. Their latest modification of RADIAL2 was used in the speakers of the reference professional speakers Harbeth Monitor M40.1 and model M30.1, and now the Harbeth Super HL5 plus speaker is equipped with such a driver.

It, having retained all the previous advantages - and this is a consistent tonal balance, a huge stage with a clear perspective, excellent dynamics, the highest detail, transparency - has definitely become livelier and more emotional. The sound is light and smooth, but at the same time elegant and even aristocratic. When playing SACD Ludwig van Beethoven. Complete Piano Sonatas. Igor Tchetuev a very realistic image of a piano appears, and it is very difficult to tear yourself away from the drying of sonatas. Rhythm, speed, microdynamics - everything is just great.

The speakers sensitively respond to all changes in the audio path, allowing partners to contribute to the performance of the music. We added a drop of tube aroma using an Astin Trew AT 2000 amplifier - and got a wonderful effect. Ancient music and beautiful voices from the CD Le Jardin Des Roix William Christie. Les Art Florissants are presented in a natural, nuanced and engaging manner.

Another step in the right direction is to replace the source with a Clearaudio Master Innovation turntable. The tracks on the All the Ghosts disc with songs by Gwyneth Herbert, which we often listen to played from HD files, revealed new shades and nuances of the compositions. It is impossible not to note the very deep and textured bass, as well as the excellent transmission of modern rhythms and arrangements.

Details

There are two HF emitters made by SEAS: an inch tweeter with an aluminum dome and a super tweeter with a diameter of 20 mm and a titanium one. Nevertheless, the upper limit of the speaker range is a frequency of 20 kHz. The SuperGrill protective grille makes the sound a little softer and smoother; if you want even more nuances and the smallest details to immerse yourself in the music, you can remove it.

An old record with a recording of P. I. Tchaikovsky's First Concerto with S. Richter and G. von Karajan demonstrated the ability of speakers (and the system as a whole) to separate musical information from the layers of time and present it emotionally and captivatingly.

And the album “Alice in Wonderland,” which evoked nostalgia in the soul, recalled the famous radio shows of the BBC corporation, to which the Harbeth Super HL5 plus speakers are related seven generations later.

Unlike most studio monitors, they are very artistic and can bring a lot of pleasure to lovers of music and quality sound.

Price: $5150

Pros: Balanced, powerful, large-scale sound; excellent focus and scene; detail, elaboration; emotionality; old-fashioned appearance

Speaker system Harbeth Super HL5 Anniversary edition

Reviews

— Anatoly V.

Pros: The veneer finish is at a good level. Cool retro design. Fits well with loft style. Pleasant, non-fatiguing sound. Lively voice, the best voice performance I've ever heard.

Cons: Low quality drivers. If the cases for Harbet are made by a third-party specialized organization, then the drivers are assembled in the office itself. The driver cone has traces of molding and wear. In the bass reflex, the foam does not completely cover the perimeter. Terminals in the 40th series vary from number to number. In general, a garage at a premium segment price.

Comment: Initially, BBC monitors (which include the Harbets) were a budget solution for the UK government studio. Their main advantage was efficiency and low cost. How can initially cheap monitors (made from cheap materials) cost the same as premium-segment acoustics?

— Durkin Vladimir

Pros: Beautiful, thoroughbred sound with solid bass, transparent mids and crystal, airy highs. These acoustics are talented at reproducing sounds from vinyl.

Cons: A primitive grill, the base of which is made of a bent metal strip and which cannot be removed from the speaker without special dexterity and skill, because You can simply damage the fabric. Requires only Canadian Skylan stands. A long warm-up is required, at least a month (200 - 250 hours). Disgusting workmanship. Special complaints about the quality of veneer. A photo of the speaker with veneer problems is attached. https://i062.radikal.ru/1402/84/ebc27ef7280d.jpg You won’t believe it, but both speakers are simply strewn with similar bumps on the veneer...

Comment: It feels like I bought a substandard handmade one...
