SHL5plus XD2

The Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 delivers an extraordinary high-end audio experience, maximizing the potential of its Harbeth-designed 200mm RADIAL4™ bass/mid driver. The result is a sound that is expansive, powerful, and strikingly clear, with exceptional detail and vibrancy.

All-new RADIAL4 Technology

At the heart of every loudspeaker is our drive mastery. Through pioneering work in the development of loudspeaker diaphragm material science, we have set a new benchmark with the acclaimed RADIAL4 cone technology: a true revolution in clarity and detail from a loudspeaker drive unit. 

Refined Crossover Design

Each speaker in the XD2 series features an upgraded crossover, meticulously engineered to enhance the integration of bass, midrange, and treble. This refinement ensures a smoother, more cohesive sound, allowing each frequency to blend seamlessly for a perfectly balanced and natural audio experience. The result is exceptional tonal accuracy, greater depth, and enhanced clarity—bringing music to life with remarkable realism.

Exquisite Craftsmanship in Veneers

We hand-select only the finest veneers to ensure our speakers meet the highest standards of performance and aesthetics. Each premium veneer is carefully sourced and rigorously inspected, reflecting our unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. The result is a speaker that not only delivers outstanding sound but also enhances any listening space with its timeless elegance.

The Pursuit of Acoustic Perfection

Since our founding in 1977, we have been dedicated to crafting the ultimate loudspeakers. By leveraging state-of-the-art testing equipment, we continuously refine and innovate every aspect of loudspeaker design. Our highly skilled production technicians meticulously test each component, ensuring exceptional quality and uncompromising performance.

4 reviews for Harbeth loudspeakers C7ES-3 XD

• “Co-hosting all these Brit-fi podcasts with Brian Hunter on The Occasional Podcast has whetted my appetite for BBC monitors.

  Lately, we’ve been fixating primarily on the LS3/5a. Still, I can’t tell you how excited I am to host this pair of Harbeth C7ES-3 XD monitors in my review system, especially after many years without significant seat time with one of my favourite loudspeaker brands of all time.”
