Jazz for aficionados
@frogman I agree, Grant Green's work with Sonny Clark are absolutely classics that IMHO doesn't get the recognition it should. I have the Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark and again it speaks to their music genius.

Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
@bigred71 Another good thing about PL is that you can tube roll and tailor the sound to your listening preference. I had to forgo the silk smooth EL34's for the more powerful KT150's. I replaced the standard 12AU7's that come with the amplifiers w... 
Looking for speaker suggestions
@stevea11757Magnepan 3.7i would be a great addition. Don't believe the nonsense about needing a great deal of power. With proper set up and at reasonable listening levels the Maggie's can take you to music nirvana. You have the room to make them s...

I own the PL Dialogue Premium HP amp with 8 KT150 and 12AU7’s per monoblock  to drive my Magnepan 20.7’s (87db) and the sound is truly glorious. I’m certain they will make your Harbeth’s sing.Cheers

Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
@willemj I haven't looked at the Stereophile measurements and honestly don't need to. I have owned ARC amps, VTL and Ayre and neither have provided my Magnepan 20.7's 87db with the musical pleasures of my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP amps. To the... 
Audioquest or Transparent?
My 2 cents so take it for what it's worth. I'm not a big fan of either but it's all system dependent. As a Magnepan owner with tubes it just wasn't a good match. I found Transparent to be too analytical and AQ to be kind of  dull. Now the caveat i...
