Any competent amplifier will mate with Harbeths. I'm using a Spectral DMA260 on the M40.1. Prior to that I was using a Nagra SS stereo amp. The Harbeths will flesh out the differences in different house sounds of amplifiers.
Thank you Joe and Dan.
Anyone try the Bryston 28B SST2 with Harbeth ? Perhaps with tube pre ?
I recently (two weeks) bought a pair of Harbeth Super HL5plus speakers for my living room system. These things are so musical, I love what I am hearing. Such a sweet sound….balanced, detailed and just so easy to listen to. Late night listening is exactly what I was looking for. I decided to go with the new Pass INT60 as my amplifier, but I have to wait for it to arrive. In the mean time, I am using an old Rega 60 watt integrated. It is doing just fine. My front end is a Lumin D1…..one of the great bargains of audio.
Hi Bruce. Congrats on Harbeth. Indeed its one of most musical speakers out there.
Quick question. Did you try the Dev400 with your SHL5 yet ? If so how is the sounds ?
Thanks
Thanks Bruce. Enjoy the Harbeth and please update with us how you like with Pass int amp.Hello Paul, Never tried the Devialet with the Harbeths. My Devialet is gone. I loved it, but needed the funds for this second system and it wasn't getting used in the main system since I got my Lampizator.
having heard both shl5 plus, shl5 and the m40.2, the m40.2 is a different beast altogether. For me by far the best harbeth. Combines the smooth, refine highs and mids of the m30.1 + the bass of the shl5 plus + more. Sounds so effortless, full esp at low levels. Had to order one after listening to the m40.2
Harbeths will pair well with any amps out there but my fave are the accuphase w/ the harbeths.
I've read that the new Vinnie Rossi LIO is a great match for the 40.2 as demonstrated at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest.
