Extend Your Bookshelf Loudspeakers' Bass Performance with the Harbeth Nelson: Plug-and-Play Stands Also Raise Speakers to Optimal Height, Seamlessly Integrate into Systems
Own a pair of Harbeth P3ESR or BBC LS3/5A speakers — or another unvented bookshelf model? Get the Harbeth Nelson bass extender/speaker stands, a two-in-one solution that provides supplemental low-end performance and raises your speakers to optimal height, all without compromising valuable space. Featuring a Harbeth-designed five-inch bass unit in a bandpass enclosure and 50 watts of digital amplifier power, the plug-and-play Nelson is rightfully called “the ultimate Harbeth stand.”
Augmented with a sub-level control that allows you to easily adjust the bass to your room characteristics and personal tastes — even on a program-by-program basis — Nelson takes over as the bass from your speakers rolls off thanks to its built-in DSP. It’s another reason why integration into any existing system is seamless, and why the 28.7-inch tall stands work wonders when it comes to solidity, control, and extension. With its aviation-inspired construction comprised of cutting-edge composite materials, each 16.8-pound stand offers high stiffness and low mass — all the better for audio enjoyment.

Please note: Each Nelson consists of a stand and bass extender. It does not include any model of bookshelf loudspeaker, which is necessary for performance.
"The Harbeth smoothness that makes for continued fatigue-free listening is further enhanced with the extra richness the Nelson subwoofer stand has brought to the mix. If you own a pair of Harbeth P3ESR or LS3/5A equivalents, you owe it to your ears to match them with this ultimate accessory."
