Harbeth 7es3 with Simaudio i-1

I've heard harbeths with alot of different components and have found them to be one of the least picky speakers as far sounding good with different gear. of course (i would think) the better the gear you use the better they will sound.

agree..you're good to go

I had a Simaudio i5.3 paired up with a pair of Harbeth SHL5s. I eventually sold the Sim and ended up with an Exposure 2010S integrated. I find it a better combination. I found the Sim a bit bright sounding for my tastes

lfd would be a better way to go.

I do have a bright room thus I am looking for a warm amp. I know the LFD is regarded as the best match but it is twice the price of the Simaudio.
Alan Shaw says any good 50 watt amp is all thats needed; however, based on the feedback on the blogs most people do seem to recommend LFD, Naim, Rega, Exposure etc.
It is not possible for me to listen to any of these combinations in Miami so I am greatful for your feedback.
Thanks again.
