Croft, NFD or Lavardin for Harbeth M40.1

Hi Looking for any input on these 3 brand of gear. ( will power the M40.1 )

1. Croft Micro 25RS + 7R monoblocks

2. NFD ( Should I go with separates or Just NCSE MKII or I ) ?

3. Lavardin IT - I have a chance to buy demo

I never heard of these gear in my home and unfortunately these dealers not around my area.

Any input would be greatly appreciate it.

My room is about 15 ft x 24ft and I usually use the tube amp however my pre amplifier were sold and I was use the NAD 320 bee Int amp as temporaly solution but I found they sounds superior compare to my megabucks tube amp . ( Shocked )

Thanks Zd542 and Noromance.

Just want to correct on my first post. My Tube amp has a more weigh and warm to the sounds however the NAD was giving me more open and wide stage in to it.

Currently Im doing the home demo with NFD NCSE int amp and sounds great except the little boomy upper bass . Hopefully it will tame the sounds as break in goes.

The Speakers are only 1 week old.

Hi Pdreher,

I just checked your system and made me smile on my face.Under your speakers line :

This is my second pair of M-40.1's. I regretted selling my first pair, so this second pair will be with me a long time. Lesson learned

This is exactly what happen to me as well. I just picked up my second pair and this will be here for the long time as well. I did pair MC275's last time when I had them too.

I think I will keep my New Audio Frontier SET amp for a tube-based amplification and I like to keep one SS as well I did search for a while and those are 3 brands got me curious and so far the NCSE is really amazing piece to go with M40.1
