I’m in Oakville just down the QEW and have my HARBETH M30.2 XD’s driven fabulously by my REGA OSIRIS integrated amp. If it stirs your drink, PM me and we can discuss an in-house audition to give you a better understanding of what a quality REGA option can deliver in spades. FWIW, LFD is indeed a quality performer that was my 2nd choice .
