Any thoughts from players with experience? Are these two amps comparably voiced and is there one that shines brighter for that horn-like tone on some of Little Walter's recordings?

Hey Don,
 I own a Meteor which I've had about three years now, GREAT AMP. Tone to the bone and volume to spare. The customer support with this amp is also second to none. I live fairly close to where the Meteors are made, and I recently was able to test drive a Mini Meteor. If my wife wouldn't have divorced me, I'd have bought it on the spot. It's a really nice amp, just like it's big brother. Great tone at high volumes, and it doesn't "tone out" at the lower volumes. I can't say enough good about these amps. I gig two to four times a week and it makes me smile every time I play through it. As for the HarpGear amps, I've never played through one, but have read, and nothing but good about them. Hope this helps a little. 
                                                                              Mike
