Harbeth ML Monitor pair s/n 186. One of Harwood's first products if not his first? After setting up Harbeth, the ML uses his own polypropylene driver with an Audax fabric dome tweeter in a sealed box. The shop is still on the go and is where I bought my Heybrook HB2s, also in the early 1980s. The drivers are perfect: no signs of any damage or abuse and sounding great. The cabinets are excellent apart from a slight faded region on the top of one and some darkening of the open grain in the vener on the other; I suspect some long-ago water spill. There are no obvious scratches, chips or scrapes.

This pair are a lightly later version than others I have seen offered. Most notable were the moulded foam grills but these have completed rotted in storage. A replacement may be possible but I actually prefer nothing in the way of the drivers. The early versions have strips of fabric as a baffle around the tweeter so this might give some benefits. The other difference evident is that the veneers are continued around the back edge and the sides overlap the rear slightly.

This hides the plywood edges seen on the earlier boxes. They sound fantastic but my room has no solid rear wall to position them in front of and this leads to a "bass light" response. I have reluctantly decided to stick with my trusty Heybrook HB2s which have in common an Audax tweeter but a rear-ported reflex cabinet, which makes them better suited to an open position.
