The Harbeth is really good, but is warm (treble deemphasis).
Harbeth has a glaring dispersion disruption at the crossover, which is going to lead to different midrange timbre in the reflections compared to the direct sound. Compare Neumann and Harbeth horizontal polar maps.
Essentially perfect. You cannot determine the mid-tweeter crossover frquency from the polar map.
This one reminds me a lot of a Monitor Audio speaker I reviewed. Maybe years of using coaxes and waveguides has over sensitized me to such problems compared to typical listeners. No doubt the 6.5"-7" 2-way with flat waveguide is the de facto audiophile standard.
