Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth

The Harbeth C7s are made for tube amplification. Easy to drive (6ohm minimum impedance) and the drivers are so well integrated and coherent that the sound stage becomes enormous when using a tube amplifier.
I used a Rogue Cronus Magnum II with the C7s and the sound was awesome and magical.
The Jadis amplifiers I have seen and heard have an extreme level of build quality as well as sound quality. They are robust and deliver a huge amount of power for their ratings. I would not hesitate to try one.
Good luck!

@freediver I don’t know what Jadis products you were looking at, but I can tell you IME everything you stated about them is false! The amps are built like tanks and are anything BUT flimsy!!! Same goes for their preamps.( Plus their parts quality is beyond repproach...particularly their tube sockets!) BTW, you do know that there are a few amateurs in the Far East that are attempting to make ’knockoff’s’ of these amps....I suspect you may have been using one of those, LOL!! --if you heard one at all??

If possible hear the Jadis with the Harbeths and compare to others! I think the Orchestra will beat most similar tube amps simply because Jadis make their own very high quality output transformers. The only problem with Jadis is that you can't bias the output tubes without removing the bottom plate. 

^^^ 1.Demo'd Orchestra in 2012 & I stand by my assessment of build quality!Thin top plate flexed with minimal pressure,tube sockets were crooked & don't get me started about having to take the amp,turn it upside down & remove back plate,then power the amp & try to bias using a meter & screwdriver!
 2.a.ANY thoughts on amps made in Far East without a FULL deconstruction to check components & build quality as I have done is NOTHING but speculation & anecdotal evidence spewed out by Dealers & Mans.in a vain effort to discredit the FACT that most all but the absolute cheapest versions use NOTHING but the highest quality components & construction available so they can justify the MASSIVELY overpriced products based on outdated voodoo word of mouth & subjective listening by someone trying to make a profit off end users who either can not or do not do their due diligence & discover the TRUTH about brick & mortar dealers & mans.trying to keep so called "HEA" alive based on price=quality mentality!
2b.I challenge ANY HEA dealer to set up a double blind listening session,anchored by ONLY end users,between your overpriced amp & the top models from Rogue,Raven,Prima Luna,Cayin & Yaqin & broadcast LIVE to the audio listening world in order to put to death the outdated Price=Quality garbage that continues to drive so called HEA & end users who drink that coolaid.
 3.Just because Jadis makes their own transformers means nothing.MOST of the available Tube Amps/Integrateds today use superior Japanese Hashimoto or Tamura transformers special built for the circuits being driven so that argument is a wash!Do they also make their own Caps,Diodes,Resistors or Volume Pots?NO they do not,they use IDENTICAL components that every other manufacturer has available to them.OP it is your $,do you want to just throw it at some B&M dealer trying to keep his doors open for business or do you want the absolute best amp for the $?

 @freediver  So, you are annoyed that you had to go through a biasing procedure with the ‘supposed’ Jadis amp that you auditioned. 
While I agree with you that biasing a tube amp is usually not much fun, Jadis utilize several auto biasing schemes in their more recent amps. Unfortunately, most all tube amps either need to be self biased, or have a self biasing feature.
Having said all that, I think it is best that you enjoy your Cayin...
The Jadis gear clearly isn’t for you.
Oh, and just keep on bashing B&M stores too...:0(
