Uniquely Harbeth
At the core of the Monitor 40.5 XD2 is our RADIAL cone technology, a distinctive innovation that ensures exceptional quality.

All-new RADIAL technology
At the heart of every loudspeaker is our drive mastery. Through pioneering work in the development of loudspeaker diaphragm material science, we have set a new benchmark with the acclaimed RADIAL cone technology: a true revolution in clarity and detail from a loudspeaker drive unit.

Upgraded crossover
Each speaker in the XD2 series incorporates a newly refined crossover design. The result is a speaker that not only excels in tonal accuracy but also offers greater depth and clarity, immersing listeners in a more lifelike musical experience.

The highest-quality veneers
We meticulously select only the finest, highest-quality veneers to craft our speakers, ensuring each piece not only performs to the highest of standards but also exudes timeless elegance. Each premium veneer is carefully sourced and meticulously inspected, reflecting our commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. The result is a speaker that not only delivers exceptional sound but also serves as a visually stunning addition to any listening space.

The sound of excellence
Since our formation in 1977, we have been on a quest to build the ultimate loudspeakers. We use the latest testing equipment to explore and reimagine every aspect of loudspeaker design. Furthermore, our expertly trained production technicians methodically test every part to achieve superlative quality.
Reviews
"IT'S SIMPLE: THE HARBETH M40.5 XD2 ARE OBJECTIVELY THE BEST LOUDSPEAKERS OF THIS COMPANY IN ITS FORTY-SOMETHING YEARS OF HISTORY. They are also one of the best speakers designed for medium-sized rooms that I know. At the same time, they are priced more than modestly – elsewhere you have to pay two or even three times more for sound of this class."
High Fidelity
"The big Harbeths not only play loud, they do it with grace, and in a linear fashion. Where some speakers have a sweet spot in terms of volume level, the 40.3 XDs don’t change their overall tonal balance going from whisper soft to brain damage loud. Yet they grab you again at the end of “Janie’s Got a Gun” as Joe Perry’s backing vocal wafts in and out of the track – did I ever hear that before? As we said in our awards issue, as great as the smaller Harbeths are, the 40.3 XD is Alan Shaw’s masterpiece. You should hear them."
