My local Harbeth dealer only sells tube amplifiers. I have heard the 30.2s with a number of low output tube amps and it sounds quite good with the to which it was paired--Synthesis Roma 96 (pushpull EL34, Synthesis A40 (pushpull KT66), and Audionote Cobra (pushpull EL34).
This dealer has one solid state amp in the store, a Parasound amp that is used for demonstrating the difference between tube and solid state sound.
If I were in the market for this speaker, I would not overlook tube amplification. The need for high-powered amps for Harbeth speakers is overstated.
