Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Harbeth Monitor 30.3 XD2?
A: The Harbeth Monitor 30.3 XD2 is a stand-mount 2-way loudspeaker manufactured in England, featuring a 200 mm RADIAL4 bass/midrange driver and a 25 mm ferrofluid-cooled dome tweeter with a frequency range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz.

Q: What is RADIAL4 technology?
A: RADIAL4 is the fourth generation of Harbeth's proprietary loudspeaker diaphragm material. The goal of every RADIAL iteration has been a cone that moves air precisely as the electrical signal demands, without introducing coloration. In the Monitor 30.3 XD2, the 200 mm RADIAL4 driver delivers low coloration and midrange transparency, the frequency region most important for vocal and instrumental reproduction.

Q: Is the Harbeth Monitor 30.3 XD2 suitable for a smaller listening room?
A: Yes. With compact cabinet dimensions of 460 x 277 x 275 mm and bass extension to 50 Hz, the Monitor 30.3 XD2 suits rooms where a larger loudspeaker would be difficult to place. Harbeth recommends positioning it away from walls, on stands that bring the tweeter to approximately seated ear level. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for advice on your room.

Q: What amplifiers pair well with the Harbeth Monitor 30.3 XD2?
A: Harbeth suggests amplifiers from 25 watts per channel, and the Monitor 30.3 XD2's 6-ohm impedance makes it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, including lower-powered tube and solid-state designs. With 85 dB sensitivity, consider your room size and preferred listening level when choosing amplifier power.

Q: What stands are recommended for the Harbeth Monitor 30.3 XD2?
A: Choose stands that bring the tweeter level with your ears when seated. The tweeter is located 320 mm up from the base of the cabinet, so the required stand height is your seated ear height minus 320 mm. Stands should be rigid, and the speakers should be placed away from walls for the acoustic response the Monitor 30.3 XD2 is designed to deliver. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for stand recommendations.
