Congrats on the new Harbeths.
I agree with some of the other suggestions here - @ 85db and 6ohm the M30.1 aren't really in the neighborhood of being an efficient speaker. A lot of very, very good speakers get a bad rap from being paired with insufficient power (even at low volumes) to make them sing. If going with tubes, I'd give serious consideration to the Carver Crimson 275, the Rogue, Cronus Mag II, or a Prima Luna, Dialogue Premium or Premium HP. any of which would pair well with the Harbeths and not leave you underwhelmed with their performance
I am running a Rogue, Cronus Mag II with a pr. of Maggie 1.7s (also not what you would call an efficient speaker) and have been most pleased.
Best of luck....Jim
