## About

Harbeth's flagship three-way stand-mount monitor — a 300 mm bass driver, 200 mm RADIAL midrange and 25 mm ferrofluid tweeter in a large thin-wall front-ported cabinet with the XD2 crossover. Its dedicated midrange and 35 Hz reach make it a full-range reference for larger rooms and serious studio work, on heavy stands.
