Potential Pair of Great Bookshelf Speakers for Sale!

Yes, adding in a quality stereo amp with a HT bypass is on my wish list. 

Decisions, decisions! My next step is calibrate my NAD Dirac Live for the new P3’s and listen to them with and without Dirac and see how I feel. I’m hoping the Harbeths are the keepers but so far, I’m not hearing what I used to hear on the Sky’s. ;(

Good suggestion. I plan on doing exactly that. 
 

Well, 8 months later and I'm still running the Harbeths. They've grown on me. The key is I have to listen to them at above-average volume to get the sounds that make me take notice. Saw a teaser about new Totem Buffalo speakers but still nothing on the Totem site. So, for now, I'll heed the advice you've all offered and look to implement a dedicated amp/integrated amp with a home theater bypass. On top of that, I'm looking to replace my Bluesound Vault and external Schiit DAC with one of the new HiFi Rose streamers with the Sabre DAC. 

The testing/auditioning continues. If I had an unlimited budget it might be much easier! 

I agree. But that means sacrificing HT if one is to really do it right. I know I would miss it occasionally, so I’m trying to find the right amp with HT Bypass that gives me the (almost) best of both worlds. Parasound and NAD I think would be my best bets but haven’t been able to demo yet. Soon I hope. 

I use a Schiit DAC so I’m familiar with the direct to user economics and I support that. Don’t think I want to get into tubes at this point though. Wonder if you compared the P3s to the 30.2s and you thoughts if so. I like the P3s of course. Wonderful mid-range. But I need to pump up the volume before they sound right. Thought the 30.2s might be a better fit for lower (less than 70 db) volumes. Any experience with both?
