Spendor A6 vs Harbeth Compact 7ES-3

How did you like them at moderate levels, with less complex music. Jazz, singer-songwriter, pop....? That's a nice setup you had, so I'm sure it excelled very well in some areas. I have a pair of P3's I bought in August, that I will soon be setting up. I may go with the Croft, when funds allow. This will be a second system, just to chill and not fire up a ton of tubes (-:

Admittedly, I don't have much experience with Harbeth. I do have a pair of P3's, for which I soon hope to buy an amp for. I consider myself a tube guy for sure. However, with the P3's, I plan to go with a Croft phono integrated which has a tubed stage, and SS amp. I briefly heard the HL5 + right after the P3's at the dealers. I found the 5's to play quite a bit louder, and we left the volume in the same setting. I have no doubt the Harbeths would sound great with Tubes, but I would think they need at least 30-40 watts to bring them to life. I'm sure there are exceptions to this, depending on room size,  listening habits....
