Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2


Hi,

I have Harebeth 40.2 speakers and looking for thoughts on amplification for them.

Currently I use the pass labs int-250 and like it but feel could be improved upon.

One recommendation was given by dealer was to go to separates and pass labs 350.8.  That would improve bass further but not sure would improve midrange where previous VAC integrated had advtg over Pass.

Another recommendation was Luxman 900u amp.  This probably gives me midrange improvement but seems less powered than pass pas int 250 and def far less than 350.8.

The Vinnie Rossi seems to come up again and again pretty sure they are 75-100 watts I'm running an LFD NCSE on my 40.2's which is 75 a channel and it's an excellent pairing as well.

More power can't hurt but you might want to try a few amps out and see what works for you - from what I understand it's not just about power or type of amplification with Harbeth so there may be some trial and error involved to determine what works best for you.

Sounds like you're willing to shell out a few bucks here might be worth finding a dealer who has a variety of options that you can try out - you'll know it when you hear it for sure...
