The Harbeth Compact 7 XD is a stand-mount/bookshelf loudspeaker in Harbeth's XD range, designed to deliver natural, highly resolved sound with an emphasis on midrange realism and musicality. Using a 200mm Harbeth RADIAL2 bass/midrange driver and a 25mm ferrofluid-cooled tweeter in a carefully tuned cabinet, it offers deep, controlled bass, a rich and open midband, and smooth, detailed highs. With a specified frequency response of 45Hz to 20kHz (plus or minus 3dB), 6 ohm nominal impedance, and 86dB sensitivity, it is easy to partner with a wide variety of quality amplifiers from around 25W per channel upwards. Despite its relatively compact footprint, the Compact 7 XD is engineered for serious HiFi use in small to medium-sized rooms, combining traditional British craftsmanship with modern driver technology for long-term, fatigue-free listening.
