Pairing NAD Masters & Harbeth [poss. SHL5+ or 40.2]


Good Morning,  I'm new to the Audiogon Forum but have been on here reading/buying for a while.

My question is pretty basic: I have the NAD M12 & M22 and they're currently hooked up to some average B & W bookshelves and Klipsch sub [bored and dissappointed].  To make a long story short, I've been looking at and listening to Harbeths [5's or 40.'s] for a few years and may finally be ready to spend the money. I listen to classic rock, some jazz, a lot of classical and a lot of Billy McLaughlin.


Would the M12 & M22 work well with the Harbeth SHL5+ or 40.'s?  Would I really enjoy my music again?

Anyone have this set up or an experience pairing the two?

Hope for some feedback :)

Erik asks some good questions, but only you can answer the question of whether you think Harbeth speakers will work with your NAD equipment.  

If you're buying new, perhaps you could work with your dealer for a home demo or for you to bring your NAD gear to the store for a listen.

If you're buying new, maybe you could just buy a pair.  If you then don't like how they sound with NAD, you could resell them for little or no loss or figure out how to get different electronics.

Good luck!
