The Harbeth company was founded over forty-seven years ago to commercialise the BBC’s loudspeaker R&D. A great start, but only the first step of our journey towards the perfect sound. Today’s Harbeth loudspeakers are much more transparent, more vivid, more dynamic, more open, and more real. We’ve incorporated every genuine advancement into the latest Harbeth speakers, which are, as you’ll hear yourself, in a class of their own for natural sound.
At the heart of every loudspeaker is our drive mastery. Through pioneering work in the development of loudspeaker diaphragm material science, we have set a new benchmark with the acclaimed RADIAL cone technology: a true revolution in clarity and detail from a loudspeaker drive unit.
