Your tube amp related Harbeth experience.


Please share your experience (good or bad), with any model Harbeth when driven with tubes. I have C'7's, and have just moved on from Class A solid state. Again, if you ended up with solid state, your experience still qualifies, as long as your journey had tube amps in the picture. I should mention that while my plan is to go integrated, I would still like to hear any experience with tube amps, even if it was a stand alone tube amp. Please let's not go in the Alan Shaw (HUG) direction here. Anyone involved likely knows the deal there. That's not for this thread. Just personal experience with a dealer, a friends system, buying used, or the like...

At one point, I was using at BAT VK-60 with my Super HL-5's. Listening to mostly rock, the Harbeths were likely not my best choice to begin with, but they sounded good so I kept them for years; still have them though I'm using other speakers now that are more appropriate to the kind of music I listen to.

With the VK-60, they were even less 'rock and roll' speakers but had beautiful midrange. I've since replaced that with an MSB S-200 power amp and a Herron Audio tube preamp; that made the Harbeths more to my liking....
