Product Description
Sold new by us, one owner in immaculate condition, these 40th Anniversary Harbeth Super HL5+ in walnut are superb! Some features like the binding posts are actually (in our opinion) a better spec than the XD version! They're also bi-wirable which the new XD models are not.
Hifi Racks speaker stands are available at an additional $800, but cannot be shipped (no original packaging) so pickup only on those. All factory packaging included with the speakers however.
Unique features for the Anniversary model include:
- Walnut veneer
- WBT nextgen binding posts
- Custom made bi-wire link cables
- British-made audio grade poly capacitors
- New internal wiring
- New look super tweeter with protection bar
- Limited Edition front and rear badge
Breathtaking transparency, a huge soundstage and total immersion in the performance.

Harbeth's Super HL5plus produces breathtaking transparency, a huge soundstage and total immersion in the performance. This speaker creates a rich bass and sweet midrange that brings acoustic music alive.
This is the latest generation of Dudley Harwood's original HL-Monitor: the cabinet is still engineered in the BBC tradition of removable 'thin-wall' panels for a totally true-to-life sound.
Retaining the classic 'two cubic foot' proportions found in the very best BBC monitors, the HL5plus relies on the exclusive Harbeth-made 200mm RADIAL2™ bass/mid driver. This produces a big, warm and powerful sound that underpins the incredible midband clarity.
The 25mm main tweeter is augmented by a 20mm SuperTweeter for an extended and even dispersion to the upper edge of the audio band.
Please note stands pictured are not included.
