Product Information
The Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 are ‘plus’ sized standmount speakers that deliver Harbeth’s usual tonal accuracy but with a more powerful bass response.
Sets the standard for transparent sound
Designed to be as truthful to the original music as possible, the Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 speakers let you listen right into the heart of the music. Take a listen to a recording of your favourite vocalist, close your eyes and they could be there, in the room with you. The exquisite transparency doesn’t just include vocalists, either, you get the same sense of ‘in the room’ presence with piano, acoustic guitar and any other small-scale performance.
Impressive bass response
Although still a standmount speaker, the SHL5plus XD2’s manage to go deep and low. If you couldn’t see them, you could easily picture the sound coming from larger floorstanding speakers, such is their presence of sound. With Harbeth’s RADIAL4 woofer units and improved crossovers, the bass is also agile and fast-paced, letting you hear every ‘crack’ of a drum skin with absolute precision.
The ideal speaker for all types of music
With their wide frequency response and balanced sound, the SHL5plus XD2s are ideal for those with a broad range of music tastes. The natural balance brings all types of acoustic music to life yet, when it comes to rock, pop or full-scale orchestral music, the speakers are happy to pick up the pace and get ‘stuck in’.
Ideal for most rooms
Much larger than most standmount speakers, the Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 speakers suit most medium-sized to larger rooms. For peak performance, they should be mounted on low stands and placed at least 30cm from the rear wall.
Luxurious range of finishes
Although strictly functional in design, the SHL5plus XD2 speakers are finished to the highest standards. The handmade cabinets are finished in a wide range of real wood veneers. Choose between traditional wood veneers, such as cherry, oak, walnut and rosewood or go for the classic black ash.
Hear every element of sound come to life, with the Harbeth SHL5plus XD2.
