Harbeth P3 vs KEF LS50W

From other reviews I've read people who've heard both prefer the active version  if you do decide to go active check into the Airpulse model 1  as well.  I've been meaning to do a follow up review on these as I've owned them now for a little over a month but and these are just excellent all around speakers,,especially at their price point - over 1k less than the LS 50' with a 60 day money back guarantee and would imagine very close sonically as well.

I finally decided to go with a pair of used Harbeth P3esr.. Sound wise perhaps the Kef speakers is better for me, in my room etc, but I really am attracted towards the Harbeths, the design appeal to me, the KEFs colors I don't like at all. Of course sound comes first but the P3 I think isn't a bad speaker of all reviews I read and have experience with 30.1.

I also was thinking IF I do want to go with something different later on, I think I don't loose that much money on Harbeths.

Now I have to find a good amp to them and possible a DAC as well..
I noticed Rega has released an updated version of the Brio-r amp. Have you listened to it yet?

If you're going to do analog, I think the Croft is a nice choice for the P3.

Good choice!  I have had both the P3s and the KEF LS50 and far preferred the Harbeths.  Different sounds for sure, and I can see others preferring the KEF.  Any of the British integrated amps would be excellent with the Harbeths.
@fjn04 makes a great recommendation with Croft.  The Croft Phono Integrated would be a wonderful match (if you are ok with a volume control for each channel and no remote).  Many people like the Brio, but I can't comment on that as I haven't heard it.  Naim is always a good pairing with Harbeths - the 5i, 5i-2, or 5si (current model).  Exposure is another fine British brand that sometimes gets overlooked.

You're going to have a blast with the P3s.
Best, Scott   

Thank you Scott! I haven't started my analog journey yet but I'm more and more tempted to try that route.

For now I'm after an SS with a tube like character.. I've read many good things about LFD and Harbeth. I'm looking for a used one in Europe region. Is it big difference between Mk III, IV, V?
I'll look for naim too. Alsi rega, maybe elex-r and elicit-r could be a fine match? 

How about minimum power of the amp, should it be 50W at least or more than that? I see that P3 have pretty low sensitivity..
