Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

The Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 XD was designed by Alan Shaw, who is known for his precision and scientific approach. The speaker is built around the RADIAL2\u2122 mid\/bass driver, a Harbeth proprietary material that provides a natural and open sound. All components are assembled in the UK, with high-quality veneers carefully selected both internally and externally. Developed with BBC descent and optimized in Harbeth’s advanced measurement room. <\/p>\n

Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

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

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
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
