I have heard the same things that you shared. It's their brands house sounds. Different flavors for all ears. I ended up with Vandersteen Quatro CT/painted Audi Havana black after all my auditions, but I have and still am a Harbeth lover. I got to hear their 40.2 anniversary's with the top MSB gear with all Audioquest Dragon and Niagara 7000. Best sound out of a Harbeth that I've ever heard. Closest to disappearing that can get and it had plenty of detail.
Everything is a compromise, so it's fun reading others takes on various gear. Thanks.
