| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers The problem with HUG is that AS clamps down on anyone giving a subjective report on the sound of a amp+speaker combination.

| Utube reviews hit or misses accuracy I'm no expert, but don't most quality AB amps start off in class A, even if it's only, say, for the first watt (no pun intended), and then transition into AB?AB amps that attract more attention are those that run quite high into class A before cha... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 @arafiq If you really want complications, throw a used pair of Vienna Acoustics Liszt into the equation. After 40.2's and Spendor's Classic 100, they would be my #3 choice. | |
