What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers

Perhaps a good idea, but HUG has Alan and his any amp over 100 watts will be fine watching over. With that the case, I wonder if users feel they are able to be candid with their opinions...? The usual suspects seem to be Luxman, Hegel, LFD, Sugden...to name a few. There appears to be quite a divide of opinions on Harbeth with tubes. It appears many have gone from tubes to solid state. There are certainly exceptions to this. I’m running a Croft phono integrated which was ok with my 3’s, but better with my 7’s. It’s a nice little amp, and you’d be hard pressed to beat it for the dollar if you’re running a table. If not, perhaps a Belles Aria, though I’ve yet to hear it. The new Aria has gone up in price so the Aria II wouldn’t be comparable price wise with the Croft. So shall we suggest NAD or Dagostino.? Help us out a little. (-:

I have a Belles Aria and I think it would pair nicely with the Harbeth sound!

@fjn04 you could not be more correct about Alan watching over HUG. lol.  I have read most of the opinions on that forum and really come out with Luxman, Hegal, LFD and inclining towards more power using a solid state amp. 

Curious on your take on Croft integrated being 'ok with my 3's' statement. not using phone but listening to all digital via Metrum Onyx DAC and roon. 

ghulamr- With the caveat that everything is subject to our own taste...my feeling is you may want more power than the Croft. There is so much out there to consider. My close friend loves his Cary Sli-80, but he uses a 93 db speaker. Perhaps an INT that uses a quad of 88 or 150 tubes would be fine if your room isn't too large. But I also think ample power will help flesh out the 3's to be more engaging at low listening levels. The Croft is very nice, but it's a 2k integrated with a surprisingly good phono section. I was using my backup table, which I've since sold,  and my other table is relegated to my SET/Horn setup. So I too may go all digital with my C7's. If I do, and were looking in the 2K range, I may try to first hear the Aria. If I end up saving a few more bucks, perhaps the Aria II. 

Alan Shaw has Hegel H360 and H390 in his lab and has used them to demo Harbeth at audio shows. He also has other amps of course, but you can be sure that these two specific amps meet his approval and were used while voicing Harbeth speakers.
