Amp for Harbeth P3ESR and Cambridge Audio Azur 851N

Hi All,

Please suggest a good amp that provides enough power and midrange for my new Harbeth P3ESR. Music source is usually from Tidal played from Cambridge Audio Azur 851N network streamer.

My speaker is in my living room about 12x15ft.

 I listen mainly to classical music, Jazz and vocal.

Thanks for your advice.

Patrick

In order to better guide you a few questions:
1: What is your budget?
2: Do you have limitations as to size of the component?
3: Are you open to tubes or just solid state
4:  Are you using the Cambridge to feed the amplifier?
5: based on using the Cambridge you would be better with an integrated amplifier as the digital volume control of the N851 isn't very good.

For those speakers, I would suggest a SS integrated amp with high power.  Without knowing your budget I can't make any specific recommendations.

I have a pair of P3's and I just picked up a Parasound 200 Pre and matching 275 V2 Amp.  Nice amount of power for the Harbeths...

I m looking for a used unit with budget of $1000-1500.

I m fine with as or tube or hybrid or integrated. 

Just using the CA Azur 851N to drive the amp n to speakers. Simple configuration.

Also I thought CA 851N is a good network streaming device 

If there are better one with same price range, 1k plus , please recommend.
