Harbeth Super HL5plus XD2 Loudspeakers Review
June 13, 2026 Comments Off on Harbeth Super HL5plus XD2 Loudspeakers Review
Because of the new driver handling low and mid frequencies, the XD2 series speakers feature a new, improved crossover design, which—according to the manufacturer—”significantly improves the integration between bass, midrange, and treble.” It is mounted on a large printed circuit board and screwed directly to the terminals on the rear panel. It features a significant number of components, including film capacitors and air-core inductors. The crossover is connected to the drivers via OFC twisted-pair copper cables. They are manufactured for studio and stage use by Van Damme.
The new speakers are based on two drivers: a 25 mm tweeter with an aluminum diaphragm, custom-made by SEAS for Harbeth, and a 200 mm RADIAL4 mid-bass driver produced in-house by this British company. The system is complemented by a 20 mm “SuperTweeter” with a titanium diaphragm, covering only part of the high frequencies. This division is intended to provide a wider dispersion pattern for the upper end of the range.
