AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Harbeth HL-P3ES-2 are historic passive stand-mounted hi-fi loudspeakers (mini-monitors), considered the spiritual and technological descendants of the legendary BBC LS3/5a monitors. Produced in the mid-2000s, they embody the British maker's philosophy of the "natural sound", optimizing performance in cabinets of extremely small size (roughly the size of a shoebox).
Main Technical Specifications
- System type: 2-way speaker, closed-box enclosure (pneumatic suspension).
- Driver: 110 mm (4.33 in) mid-woofer with a custom polymer cone.
- Tweeter: 19 mm (0.75 in) with an aluminum dome, ferrofluid-cooled and magnetically shielded.
- Frequency response: 75 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB in free space).
- Nominal impedance: 6 Ohms.
- Sensitivity: 83 dB / 1W / 1m (relatively low load, requiring good amplification).
- Recommended amplification: From 25W to 120W.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 305 x 188 x 198 mm.
- Weight: About 5.9 kg each.
Sound Characteristics and Strengths
Magical Mid Frequencies:
As with Harbeth tradition, the reproduction of voices, acoustic instruments, and mid-range details is exceptional, transparent, and free of artificial coloration. 3D Stereo Image: Thanks to the narrow front face and the well-damped sealed cabinet (SuperTunedStructure technology), the speakers literally tend to disappear in the room, creating a wide, stable, and deep soundstage.
Bass Handling: Despite the cabinet’s physical limits (deep bass below about 70–75 Hz is attenuated), the articulation and speed of the mid‑bass range are exemplary. There is no “boomy” artificial bass effect typical of other mini-diffusers in reflex designs.
Ideal for Small Spaces: They excel in near-field configurations (close listening), small offices, apartments, or bedrooms, placed on sturdy stands at ear height.
Additionally, they have their own iron chassis, as clearly visible in the high photo, 69 cm tall.
Due to the substantial weight of the iron chassis, shipping is not provided. Private arrangements can be made to ship only the cabinets without the iron chassis.
The condition is excellent, with no signs, scratches, or damage. They are like new.
