Best integrated amp for Harbeth SHL5s


I recently sold a Bryston 4BSST2 mated with a BP26 preamp and replaced it with an Ayre AX-7E. I don't like it better although I thought I would. Anyone have a dream match for the Harbeths? I know the LFD is supposed to be great but this lazy boy wants a remote to control volume.

Pricing from $3000 to $6000. Integrated would be nice, but willing to consider separates. New or used.

The new Roksan K2 BT. More power. Completely upgraded Preamp
section. Read three reviews of people who actually have listened and purchased the unit. One owner was concerned that is was overly smooth with too much color but after 200 hours it blossomed into full bloom with a very rich velvet midrange and outstanding 3D imaging and soundstage with excellent top and bottom end. Also makes and outstanding stand alone preamp with its pre-outs and would be an excellent choice to pair up with an excellent high powered Class D amp since the K2 has a warm sound which would balance well with the neutrality of Class D.
I own c7es3's and was running a Rogue Cronus Magnum for a few years. Now it's a Hegel H200. You should check out the Hegel H200 or H300 if you need a DAC. The reviews speak for themselves. I too enjoyed the Ayre but it needed more oomph.
How about the EAR 890? 70W and bridgeable to 140. The pre can be bypassed if required in the future. 70W would be wonderful with the SHL5s (which I own) and if you ever grabbed a 40.1, you could add another amp without changing the sound, but providing more power.
