Amp for Harbeth 7ES3


Looking for an amp for my Harbeth 7es3's in the $2000-$3000 range new or used. My room is 12'x15'. I am using a Sony xa5400 cd player. My preamp is a DeHavilland Ultraverve 2. Very difficult to audition amps since I live in Maine and there are no Hi-end dealers even close. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!!!

Shameless plug: Just listed my McIntosh MC-275 MK V that is driving my Harbeth M-40.1's. The sound is simply sublime with Harbeth IME, and it is the the best sounding amp I have owned. Only selling to downsize to a ss integrated so I can free up some money for an investment.
If sound quality is your sole priority, go with tubes. The AR VSI 60 or 55, Cary SLI 80 and VAC Avatar (difficult to find) are all reputable.
