What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers?

jjss49,

I have to turn up the volume of my CJ CA-150 to almost half way to get to the level that I enjoy and it is not real loud. A lower output source can force me to put the volume slightly over half way. However, it does sound wonderful and I don't hear the sound starting to break up. The CA-150 integrated is equipped with a passive pre. If I mated the CJ MF-2275 power amp with my CJ ET-5 preamp would I receive more gain?

twoleftears,

I don't know. I just assumed that turning up the volume too high (midway and above) gets that much closer to the clipping point of the amp rather than having more reserve to handle the harder to drive Harbeth's. On the other hand, I may be too fussy about the whole thing because if it sounds good, as it does, stop thinking about it.

jjss49,

Ceiling height is 7.5 ft.

hleeid,

My room dimensions are: 18.7 ft. X 13.3 ft. The speakers are along the longer side.
