Save on Space without Skimping on Intoxicating Sound: 'Use Anywhere' British-Made Harbeth P3ESR XD Bookshelf Loudspeakers Bring the Celebrated BBC Mini-Monitor Sound to Your Home
Rightly deemed by Harbeth a “use-anywhere loudspeaker,” the P3ESR XD bookshelf model brings the celebrated “BBC mini-monitor” sound to any room in which you desire stellar acoustic reproduction. Made in Britain at the company’s dedicated factory, the 12.1 x 7.5 x 7.3-inch (HWD) model pushes the boundaries on the level of clarity, accuracy, depth, detail, and dynamics available from such a compact footprint.
Renowned for integration across the audio spectrum, P3ESR XD particularly excels with vocal, jazz, classic, and lighter rock music. It can be matched with low-powered amplifiers and needs just a foot of space away from walls to perform as intended. Easy to drive (six ohms impedance, 83dB sensitivity) and gorgeously finished with Harbeth’s signature fine-veneer cabinetry, the 13.4-pound P3ESR XD comes with detachable grilles and Harbeth-branded binding posts.
Inside, a 4.3-inch Harbeth-engineered RADIAL2 bass/midrange driver complements a 0.75-inch ferrofluid-controlled tweeter to provide monitor-grade sonics. That every part of P3ESR XD is hand-assembled by expert craftsmen — with the finished product then subject to additional tests to ensure perfect acoustic and cosmetic synergy — will not come as a surprise to you once you experience just how well this speaker images, defines, and remains faithful to the programs at hand.
At heart, P3ESR XD is proof you can save on space without skimping on intoxicating, studio-like sound. For more information on this incredible speaker or any of Harbeth’s models, reach out to a Music Direct audio consultant at 312-433-0200.
