A REFINEMENT OF THE BBC LS5/9 SPEAKER
Harbeth’s design team has redefined the virtues of a speaker which has won worldwide accolades to a new intensity. Allowing rarefied audio transparency to be revealed and ultimately enjoyed.
The smallest Harbeth to be engineered around the exclusive 200mm RADIAL2™ bass/mid unit – derived from the reference M40.3 – this space saver monitor disappears into any listening room. The outstanding midrange clarity and controlled bass bring music to life in a wide range of domestic listening environments.
The M30.2 XD loudspeaker takes the Harbeth tradition of stunning musical involvement to another performance level.

I’ve owned a lot of speakers, both big and small, and it’s rare that I find one so engaging and musical, so at home with all types of music. This is a speaker that makes you excited about listening to music, makes you want to hear as much as possible and offers a connection to the artist that you don’t always find easily. The 30.2 XD is not just a speaker that I want to listen to music on, it’s a speaker that I want to live with, so much so, I put my money where my editorial mouth is and sent the distributor a check. Hats off to Shaw and co for producing a world class musical product.
