Pass Labs INT-25 Integrated amp paired with Harbeth 30.2 XD speakers

@philsons sorry for the delay because my answer seems somewhat embarrassing.

At audio shows and stores, I demoed many components focusing on a full range floorstander for first system and a very high efficiency speaker for my foray into tube magic including flea watt SET amps.  But after hearing the Harbeth 30.2XD on several occasions, I loved the musical sound that I’m trying to find a reason and use to justify a 3rd Hegel+Harbeth system.  I know I’ve heard Hegel electronics.  Not sure if Hegel electronics were used with the Harbeths

@kennyc I’ve pretty much decided to look for a used pair of 30.2 XD in close future, just need to finish my current home renovation. I’m leaning for Luxman 590, but depends on what prices I can find second hand. Hegel 390 is a strong second candidate. 
 

Just curious, what kind of rigs you have 1st and 2nd ones?

Just curious, what kind of rigs you have 1st and 2nd ones?

1st) Linear/neutral - Constellation Inspiration Pre+Stereo>Vimberg MinoD

2nd) Flea watt - Coincident M300B Frankenstein mkII>Volti Rival

I’d also love to get one of the best "musical" speaker I’ve demoed, a DeVore Orangutan O/96 matched with a Leben CS600.

If I move to a house with a large shared space like a family room,  likely the excellent omni speakers MBL 126/120, amplification maybe the MBL C51/N51.

Very grateful for the used market which makes a lot of excellent audio components affordable aka reachable.  

Interesting, that for the same song, each amp+speaker combo will have a different presentation. There’s also panel (ribbon, electrostatic, cone) and full horns
