Speaker choice
+1 @chayro I’ve owned every Harbeth model minus the M40. I now have the HL5 and the smaller P3.  If you have the room the HL5 ( it's large) would be an excellent choice!!

 @thecarpathian Ditto! It kind of puts all the petty bickering here in perspective!  
For those with a Belles Aria integrated...
I’ve owned the Belles paired with Harbeth HL5s. I thought that the Belles was outstanding. It is a high current amp (16 amps and 135 watts at 4 ohms). It is a top notch SS integrated amp that should be fine with any speaker!

@ thecarpathian Yes, I’m a transplanted New Yorker for the past 20 years!  
TT/Cart Pairing
That combination should be fine!
