Bart, the Special Forty are really nice bookshelves, tight bass, clean highs, mids not as rich as the Harbeth or even the ProAc, good imaging they throw a deep stage, dynamic and detailed but non fatiguing, overall a coherent natural presentation, they sound much bigger than their actual size would imply, and a looker in the red gloss. I'd still favour the Harbeth when listening to Jazz/Vocals but the Special Forty are a pretty good offering for everything else
