Thank you for the replies. jayrossi13, I could not agree with you more. I had the SHL5+ paired with a Pass XA-30.8 and it was incredible. It was suggested to me to try a tube amp and they sounded good, but paled in comparison to the SS amplifier that I was using before. I did some research on the HUG and found out that higher powered SS amplifiers are the way to go with Harbeths (the owner and designer recommends it). I went back to a Bryston 4B SST and the magic is back!
