REGA Osiris with Harbeth HL5-PLUS
Has anyone tried this combo or the amp with any other Harbeths?
Thanks for the feedback!

Re: REGA Osiris with Harbeth HL5-PLUS
I know at one point Jerome had the Rega Osiris integrated and I know he has Harbeth speakers. What I don't know is if he had them around at the same time and paired them up. Worth a PM to him.

Re: REGA Osiris with Harbeth HL5-PLUS
Cyril your memory impresses me ! I almost forgot the Osiris myself !
Great amplifier. Full weight and scale sound. Incredible bass. Never tried it with Harbeth. I had the PMC EB1i at that time.
I would fear too much bass with the 40.1 but could be a great choice with the SHL5 Ken.
Not as refined as the Nagra MSA though.
And both are far from the Shindo Cortese I guess when music is not too demanding.Shindo, Nagra, Electrocompaniet, Harbeth, AMR, Mc Intosh, Auditorium 23, Rega, DeVore, JC Verdier, WireWorld, Kimber

Ken. Have you ever try the LFD yet ? So far it's one of best SS amp that sounds almost like tube voice sounds.

REGA Osiris with Harbeth HL5-PLUS
Jerome, I didn't want to derail a thread , but the LFD NCSE MKII has been best integrated amp I ever had on my system. Its not pretty looking ( actually far from it ) but the sounds is incredible. I done many comparison on SS amp. (When I shopping for summer amp due to heat on tube amp) the only amp that made me smile was the NCSE MKII.
It has everything. The power of slam bass ( the best benefit of SS in my opinion ) and it has the vocal that sounds like a tube ( very close to it ) . down side was no remote but I can live without it if the amp sounds this good.
Also , I can leave it on 24/7 was big plus ! don't have to wait for the warm up coz it's ready anytime whether I want to hear 10 min or 20 mins.Paul

Re: REGA Osiris with Harbeth HL5-PLUS
Even though I never had the opportunity to pair LFD products to Harbeth, I used to own one of their integrated amps back in the day. Good stuff!

I agree. It's similar to auto manufacturers moving the aircon controls to the touchscreen or the gear levers to a wheel-dial or buttons on the console....it's a "solution" that never was a problem.
