IMHO the Spendors are smoother and warmer. The Harbeths (read the designer's goals at their website into the FAQs, link at the bottom) are conceived more as studio monitors than music lover's speakers. Of course they're way more listenable than other brand's studio monitors, and into the Harbeth's range, the "monitor domestic" series are warmer.It's not that the 2/3 or 1/2 lack detail, but they offer it very well integrated into the mix in the way it doesn't grab your attention unless you look for it.
I think that the best for you would be trying to listen to the Spendors yourself. It's not that we listen differently, but we pay attention to different things and we "need" different sound attributes done right to enjoy the music and forget about sounds.
