Harbeth 40.1 vs spendor sp100r2


I would like to know if anyone compared them using 75 watt tube amps?

Alan Shaw of Harbeth has the same dislike of tube amps. A lot of Harbeth owners run tube including myself with great results.
Thank you for your input, it seems that overall there has been a change in the spendors that has changed the speaker from the r100 that has modernized the sound . I am looking at Devore as well and a few others for a change in my system.
Rugby1- I believe St. Louis Stereo carries both DeVore and Harbeth. I am not sure if they have Orangutan's, and the larger Harbeths. If they do, perhaps they could shed light on the comparison. If it helps, I am driving the little Spendor 3/5 R's in a 2nd system w/ an LM 211 integrated. It's in a small room, but it is enough power. I am impressed with the Spendor, especially for the $ I have in to them. I will soon have an analog setup w/ the Spendors, and that is when I will make a true judgement. I guess even though the 3/5's are lo efficiency, their 8ohm impedance make them more tube-friendly. Certainly your 75 tube watts should be fine with SP100R2 or 40.1. That said, an Orangutan or AN An-e would allow you to use lower power in the future.
I own Harbeth HL Compact 7 and Spendor S8e.  I love both with my Conrad Johnson MF2250A solid-state amp and my VTL 70/70  & Manley Retro 100 tube amps.  Both Harbeth and Spendor are fantastically natural sounding speakers.  To reproduce unamplified acoustic instruments and voices is to me the highest criteria to strive for, not to create Hi-Fi characteristics that quickly become tiring and irritating.
