Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
I bought the P3's a couple of months ago. I should have some cash soon to go forward with this system. My thoughts are the Croft Phono Integrated. Please share your thoughts on not only the amp choice, but what this systems strengths might be. I just want to listen at low to moderate levels, and be engaged. I wish they were more efficient, which is why I'm thinking Croft, which has a tubed stage, and SS amp.

I have now had my office system set up and running for 3 weeks. The P3ESRs do put out plenty of full spectrum sound, more than I expected from a mini-monitor. The Rega gear has matched rather well with the Harbeths (Brits love Brits). People who stop by to chat about projects now seem to stay a bit longer to enjoy the background music. I always tell them, when they ask "why?", that music soothes this angry soul due to the short time frames I am constantly given on a daily basis. I have my P3ESRs on small desktop stands (Iso-Acoustics) to isolate them. Now when I have to work on weekends the music I can play at my listening level helps to make the day flow by effortlessly. The Rega Brio-R has a nice phonostage onboard, also (MM or HO MC). |
