For your consideration are a pair of Harbeth Super HL5plus speakers in Rosewood. These speakers rarely come available and the only reason they are rated as Very Good is the top of the left speaker has two scratches (please see photos). Interestingly, the scratches are hardly noticeable as you look at them from the front (please also see photos). The sound is mint, currently powered by a McIntosh MC275 with a C2300 preamp.  

I replaced the SuperTweeter in the left speaker as it was damaged when I purchased them from the former owner. I purchased the SuperTweeter from Fidelis AV in New Hampshire, the approved importer for Harbeth in the United States. A simple slide connect and job done. If you are not 100% satisfied with the sound I will gladly refund your money!

I have two sets of stands, Skylan and Isoacoustics (pictured) and will negotiate a package deal if you are interested in either or both. The speakers do require stands to direct the tweeters to ear level. 
 
I have them paired with a REL T/7i subwoofer with the Arrow wireless connector. I will also negotiate a package deal for these items if you are interested in either or both.
I find the subwoofer adds just the right amount of low end to compliment the speakers. It is a seamless pairing that extends the soundstage to an even deeper and wider degree.   
 
A few people have requested a picture of the full setup and I have added this to the listing. The serial numbers are 13208 R/L and match. Shipping and PayPal fees to be paid by Buyer.

If you are looking at this listing, you already have done the research on these speakers. To recap from Harbeth: 
 

This model is the latest and greatest iteration of the legendary Harbeth HL-Monitor Mk1 from 1977 that launched the Harbeth company. In continuous production through several design generations since its inception, now featuring Harbeth's RADIAL2™ driver and a radically new approach to the crossover. The HL5plus gets the very best from the Harbeth-made 200mm RADIAL2™ bass/mid driver in a cabinet is skillfully designed according to the pioneering research undertaken by the BBC. The system sound is large, powerful and transparent with an astonishing freshness. No wonder the SHL5 family is such a worldwide legend.

The SuperTweeter extends the system response to the upper edge of the audio band and beyond.

Harbeth's Super HL5plus loudspeaker produces a huge soundstage of width, depth and weight for a total immersion in the musical performance.
