• Stand Synergy & Resonance Control – The Skylan Stands complement the speakers with controlled damping and vibration isolation, improving bass articulation, stereo focus and overall clarity by optimising height alignment and mechanical stability.
• Product Dimensions – Each loudspeaker measures approximately 635 mm (H) × 322 mm (W) × 300 mm (D), while the Skylan Stands provide a matching footprint and height for ideal acoustic positioning in most listening rooms.
• Product Weight – Each speaker weighs around 16 kg, and each stand approximately 12–14 kg depending on fill, offering excellent grounding and reduced resonance for improved dynamic performance and midrange purity.
At S$6,980, this like-new Harbeth Super HL5 Plus is ambitious, sitting clearly above the 75th percentile of S$6,499 and well above the median of S$5,160 for recent SGD listings. While the pair originally retailed near S$11,000–S$12,000 depending on finish, the asking price exceeds the typical used market ceiling, making it a fair-to-high deal rather than a bargain.
The Super HL5 Plus remains a well-regarded 3-way vented bookshelf speaker known for its smooth off-axis response, integrated tweeter/supertweeter, and natural midrange that rivals larger floorstanders. Its 86dB sensitivity and 6-ohm load make it easy to drive with modest amplifiers. If this listing includes original boxes, certificate, and stands, the premium is justified for a clean, original-owner pair in like-new condition—otherwise, consider waiting for a listing closer to the S$5,000–S$5,500 range.

Harbeth Audio Ltd. traces its origins to 1977, when BBC Research Department engineer H.D. (Dudley) Harwood founded the company in the UK upon his retirement. Harwood, a pioneer in loudspeaker cone materials, commercialized his inventions—including polypropylene cones developed during four decades of BBC-funded research—to produce monitor speakers that echoed the broadcaster's precision standards. This heritage, rooted in the BBC's comprehensive loudspeaker investigations from the 1960s and 1970s, positioned Harbeth as a direct descendant of iconic designs like the LS3/5a.
The brand focuses exclusively on high-fidelity loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Harbeth's innovations center on proprietary materials and engineering, notably the patented RADIAL™ cone introduced in the 1990s, which minimizes distortion for exceptional clarity and natural reproduction. Standout models include the Super HL5 Plus, Monitor 30.1, and Monitor 40.2, all refined through ongoing refinements to critically damped cabinets, polymeric cones, and crossover networks.
Harbeth commands a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique specialist, prized by discerning audiophiles for its balanced, transparent sound that prioritizes musicality over hype. Under Alan Shaw's leadership since 1986, blending BBC traditions with rigorous quality control, it sustains an irrefutable reputation for world-class performance at low-to-medium volumes, earning critical acclaim worldwide.
