It sits at the top of Harbeth's \"domestic\" range (as distinct from the professional \"M\" series), sharing the roughly two-cubic-foot cabinet proportions that define classic BBC monitor design, and remains closely related in concept to the Spendor BC1, another product of the same BBC engineering lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Engineering\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Super HL5 is a vented 3-way design built around Harbeth's in-house RADIAL polymeric composite bass\/mid driver, paired with a 25mm ferrofluid-cooled aluminum dome tweeter and a 20mm titanium (later aluminum) dome supertweeter with a neodymium magnet and waveguide face: the \"Super\" in the name refers to this added supertweeter over the standard HL5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cabinet follows the BBC tradition of thin-wall, removable-panel construction, heavily damped internally with dense acoustic foam lining and stuffing, while the front baffle is left undamped around a foam-lined reflex port. All speakers are handmade at Harbeth's factory in Lindfield, West Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrequency response: 40Hz–24kHz ±3dB (free space, 1m, grille on).
