Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
I bought the P3's a couple of months ago. I should have some cash soon to go forward with this system. My thoughts are the Croft Phono Integrated. Please share your thoughts on not only the amp choice, but what this systems strengths might be. I just want to listen at low to moderate levels, and be engaged. I wish they were more efficient, which is why I'm thinking Croft, which has a tubed stage, and SS amp.
Hello Don Make sure you hear the Belleshttp://http//www.powermodules.com/ewExternalFiles/HFC_412_Exotica_Belles_Reprint.pdf Aria its very special on many speakers, well made and fairly priced Best, JohnnyR Audio Connection |

(((Plus, having Followed A’gon, and other forum comments about the P3’s,
I’m not so sure a 35-40 watt tube amp is the answer. I would imagine
this being less true as you go further up the Harbeth line.)))) Don, I loves tube amps also, P 3s nice little speakers but you will find tube amps not at their best with them. The SS Belles Aria will drive the load and sound big doing it as well as many other ss designs mentioned above. Cheers JohnnyR |
(((Thats’s pure Hogwash !
))) Yogiboy Try playing symphonic dances instead of Jingle bells and KennyG and you might get it. Its an absolute great little speaker a good 100 WPC solid state amp with these has less compression. Harbeths in general ime clean up and run best with lower distortion ss amps or tube pre amps / ss outputs. Best JohnnyR |
