Proac D Two & LFD LE III


Does anyone have any opinions on the pairing of the Proac D Twos with the LFD LE III's?

I've read glowing reviews about matching the LFD LE III integrated amp with the Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 and how sweet they sound.

The best I can do on short notice for an audition is to drive the Proac D Two's with a Naim 5i. I've heard that the LFD LE III's out perform "any" moderately priced (under USD 4K) Naim. They place I go to no longer keeps Harbeth's in stock. The D2 seem to fit the bill as a replacement.

I've got a mighty itch to upgrade my system (YBA Integre Initial / JM Lab Chorus 716 S) ASAP...

I can't tell from your post whether you think the Proac D is a "replacement" for Harbeth because you like the sound of the Proac as much as you like the sound of Harbeth or whether you think that it has the same sort of sound as the Harbeth. My experience, admittedly limited, is that the two sound very different. To me, the Proac was much more resolving, while Harbeth sounded more natural and musical. Even though you've got the itch to buy right now, I'd urge you to take a little time and listen to each before you leap. Good luck.
