Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel?

The Herron vp2h-2a has traded over 70 times in the US used market since 2017 (source: hifi shark), some of those are duplicate postings though, but suffice to say there is a TON of secondary market activity on this unit and avg price is ballpark $...

@easy_hFeels like a dislike of bryston. I owned their 6B-SST powering some pretty crazy Triad In-room Platinum speakers in my home theater and I hated the bryston sound. Finally landed on classe and never looked back for years until I moved.
