harbeth: very smooth midrange. vocals sounded great. low end suffered, would need to add subs. moon separates
stenheim: very dynamic and detailed. running thru MSB electronics. room filling sound.
sonus faber amatis: moon and mcintosh separates. just magical sounding. maybe not as dynamic as stenheim but could listen to for hours. true synergy with mcintosh gear.
sonus faber olympica nova 3: moon separates. not as magical sounding as amati's but great soundstage and very pleasing sound.
the stenheim and sonus faber's just disappear; not so much with harbeth's.
