I own the Harbeth 40.2 and would caution against the use of an integrated amp with it unless you don’t listen to rock and modern music. Most integrated amps lack a beefy power supply and not till I got 260.8 mono blocks did the 40.2 harbeth provide tight and full bass. I tried an EAR then a VAC integrated then a Pass Int250 and they all were great at moderate volume or for well produced music but not so much for modern music or rock.
Not surprisingly pass labs advised me to get the higher current models and against the xa160.8 that i was more inclined to get.
If you don’t want monoblocks get a high powered stereo amp at least.....
