This edition is finished in walnut veneer and features some upgrades, such as WBT-nextgen connections and a modified supertweeter with protective bracket. In addition, Harbeth-branded British audio-grade poly capacitors have been used. Each speaker features special 40th Anniversary badges on the front and rear, as well as a metallic black and gold grille badge. The SHL5 Plus Anniversary Edition comes with custom bi-wire links and internal wiring from Harbeth. This edition pays homage to the original 1977 HL Monitor Mk1, which was the foundation of the Harbeth brand. With the RADIAL2\u2122 driver and an updated crossover design, this speaker offers powerful and transparent sound. The addition of the super tweeter provides an extended frequency response. The Super HL5 Plus 40th Anniversary Edition delivers a wide and deep soundstage for an immersive listening experience.        <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-even\"><span class=\"spec-content\"><strong>Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-odd\"><span class=\"spec-content\"><\/p>\n<p>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.  <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-even\"><span class=\"spec-content\">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.  <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"specification-item row-odd\"><span class=\"spec-content\">A key development was the introduction of RADIAL\u2122 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.  <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Freakuence!
