What should I buy for Dulcets/Harbeth

Looking to purchase one of these speakers as a pair for 2 channel listening. I would like a recommendation for Reference 3A Dulcets or maybe Harbeth P3esr. I want to try and keep the cost down to around 700-800. Some have said to get tubes..but I don't wanna spend that kinda coin for those.

You better look at other speakers,$800 will not get them! I have the Harbeths and they go used for about $1500 to $1600 used! Good luck.

A used Spendor (3/5) is in your ballpark. And why is this question in the amp section? Move it over to the speaker section and you will get more responses!

You mention tubes. Are you looking for amp suggestions for these speakers?

I never listen to Dulcet and P3esr before but have heard harbeth 7es3 and ref 3a capo. Both sounded very good. You cant go wrong with either 1 of them. Both easy to drive.

But for my taste... I like ref 3a better. It sounds more open and the high is more extended. harbeth sounds are more forgiving.
