Bet they sound great with your LTA's. 
Japanese top tube amps and preamps. Wavac, Kondo, Komuro etc.
Add Shindo to that list.  With the right speakers simply magical. 
Is the Eico HF 81 really that good?
I have a Sam Kim complete rebuild  Heath Kit 151 that is simply outstanding. Using only the chassis and transformers Sam rebuilts the entire amp from the ground up. 
Upgrade from Pass Labs XA30.8 to X250.8. Worth it?

Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3

Line magnetic 518 with Harbeth SHL5+
Harbeth's  pretty much sound great with any type of amps.  So I would bet that the 518 would sound excellent.  Btw I owned the shl5's and they sounded great with ss and tube amps. 
Spatial Audio M4 Turbo S. Is its design competitive with other baffleless speakers?
