I don't doubt that you are happy with your speakers, so don't get me wrong. I was trying to make the point that if possible, it would be best to audition first - it almost always is.My beef with the Harbeths was that they tended to sound a bit hollow in the midrange and took away a lot of the energy that, for me, makes rock music. Sure, they played all of the frequencies - you could say that about a lot of speakers. However, it how those frequencies are presented that really differentiates one speaker from another in many cases. The Harbeths were simply too laid back in the midrange for my tastes, and I listen to a lot of rock, so I thought I would comment.
I will say that based on the comments I've read from Alan Shaw regarding the Compact 7ES-3, it sounds like he has addressed the things that were a problem for me with the ES-2 version. To what degree, I would not know. My comments might not apply to the ES-3, but I would still audition at home if at all possible.
By the way, I had mine on 16" stands as well.
