Description

Description Freakuence!
Those who want to enjoy evenings should especially go and listen to Harbeth. And of course you can do that with us! The Harbeth 30.3 XD2 is a speaker that can seduce you. Do not underestimate the size of the cabinet, they have been improved for generations and move large amounts of air with great ease. The cabinet construction, with thin walls and a “lossy” design, provides a controlled resonance that contributes to the openness of the sound. The well-known midrange easily brings you closer to the music.

Background information
The Harbeth M30.3 XD2 is the result of decades of research and development led by designer Alan Shaw. This loudspeaker is loved for its natural sound reproduction. The cabinet is made of specially selected wood and is designed to minimize resonances. The internal wiring is carefully chosen for optimum audio quality. The units are precision manufactured and assembled in England, with quality and durability paramount. Harbeth’s design philosophy focuses on delivering a transparent and neutral sound, with honest reproduction of instruments and voices. Harbeth uses advanced materials for the cones and filters to further refine sound quality.
Brand history
Harbeth, founded in 1977 by Dudley Harwood, a former engineer at the BBC, is known for its high-quality loudspeakers. The brand gets its name from an amalgamation of Harwood and the name of his wife, Elizabeth. Harwood introduced the polypropylene cone, an innovation that changed the speaker industry by offering better frequency response and less distortion than traditional paper diaphragms.

In 1986, Alan Shaw took over the company, leading to further expansion and refinement of the range. Shaw remained true to the philosophy of natural sound reproduction, making Harbeth a favorite among audiophiles. The partnership with the BBC strengthened their reputation, with models such as the Monitor 40 used in professional environments.

A key development was the introduction of RADIAL™ technology in the 1990s, a proprietary plastic material that significantly improved the performance of their speakers. Harbeth continues to make speakers by hand in England, with a strong focus on quality and detail. Today, the brand is respected worldwide for its faithful reproduction of sound, staying true to its roots and small production capacity to ensure high quality standards.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this.
