Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Harbeth P3ESR XD2?
A: The Harbeth P3ESR XD2 is a stand-mount 2-way loudspeaker manufactured in Lindfield, England, featuring a 110 mm RADIAL4 bass/midrange driver and a 19 mm ferrofluid-cooled dome tweeter, with a frequency range of 75 Hz to 20 kHz and compatibility with amplifiers from 15 watts per channel. It is the latest generation of the P3ESR, one of Harbeth's most acclaimed compact loudspeakers, updated with the fourth-generation RADIAL4 cone material and a redesigned XD2 crossover network. Available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Harbeth dealer in Toronto, Canada, sold as a matched pair.

Q: What is RADIAL4 technology and why does it matter in a compact speaker?
A: RADIAL4 is the fourth generation of Harbeth's proprietary loudspeaker diaphragm material, designed to produce a cone that moves in a controlled manner across the midrange frequencies. In the P3ESR XD2, the single 110 mm driver handles both bass and midrange duties up to the crossover point, so the cone material has a particularly strong effect on the speaker's overall character. RADIAL4 delivers midrange transparency, low coloration, and tonal accuracy in this compact format. Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada can arrange a listening demonstration of the P3ESR XD2.

Q: Can the Harbeth P3ESR XD2 be used with a tube amplifier?
A: Harbeth suggests amplifiers from 15 watts per channel, and the P3ESR XD2's 6-ohm impedance works with a wide range of tube and solid-state designs. With 83 dB sensitivity, check that your amplifier provides at least the recommended 15 watts per channel, and consider your room size and preferred listening level. Browse our range of integrated amplifiers at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, or contact us for pairing recommendations.

Q: What stands work best with the Harbeth P3ESR XD2?
A: Choose stands that bring the tweeter level with your ears when seated. The tweeter is located 230 mm up from the base of the cabinet, so the required stand height is your seated ear height minus 230 mm. Stands should be rigid, and Harbeth specifies that the P3ESR XD2 should ideally be positioned more than 0.30 m from the rear wall. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for stand recommendations.

Q: Is the Harbeth P3ESR XD2 suitable for a small apartment or secondary listening room?
A: Yes. With compact cabinet dimensions of 306 x 190 x 184 mm, the P3ESR XD2 has one of the smallest footprints in the Harbeth range, and its bass extension to 75 Hz suits smaller rooms. It also suits offices and secondary systems where a larger loudspeaker would be impractical. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for advice on your space.
