Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2

Any of the Audio Research amps are great. I heard the 40.2 anniversary pair with the top MSB amps and digital. All were run with Audioquest Dragon and Hurricane cords (best I’ve heard and I"ve heard Elrod and Enklein). Just the best I’ve ever heard a pair of Harbeth’s sound in my life. Where do you live?  

As I posted earlier, if you listen to them with the top of the line MSB electronics using the top AQ cords and cables and you have a system (expensive) that sounds really great.

I've heard them with Rossi amps and they sounded great.  I enjoy them a lot.  I still like Vandy's better, but would easily live with Harbeth's and a glass of wine and be very happy. 

I heard them at Suncoast Audio with the top of the like MSB Select electronics/DAC and it was beautiful.  I was amazed at what they could do.  The love a lot of power as long as your amp is a good match for them.  I've found Harbeth's to be very forgiving, but will open up and sing with only a few top amps, both tube and SS.  Heard them at Walters in NH too with a couple of amps (Pass was one, but I forget which models and I forget which was the other company, sorry) and it sounded excellent, but not like it did with the north of 100k worth of MSB gear. 

You can go less expensive on the amps, but NOT the preamp.  They do have more detail than many give them credit for and therefore need a top preamp.
