Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The Harbeth C7ES-3 XD2 is a sophisticated loudspeaker designed by Alan Shaw. Its core philosophy centers on natural sound reproduction, utilizing advanced materials such as Harbeth\u2019s proprietary RADIAL2 cone. The cabinet is meticulously crafted from high-quality wood for optimal resonance control. Internal wiring is laid out with precision to ensure signal integrity. Each speaker is hand-assembled in the UK, using components sourced locally and globally to ensure the highest quality. <\/span><\/div>\n
Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\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. <\/p>\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. <\/p>\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. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
