@juleman
agree w @mesch
luxman (higher models)
hegel
pass
all are real winners with harbeth, just luscious sound
next tier imho would be
ayre
musical fidelity
naim
finally, an older but lovely one that is highly synergistic w harbeth is the last primare class a/b model... the i-30
tubes CAN work well with harbeths but they need to be very good tube amps with better than average power delivery and damping factor (always a challenge for typical transformer coupled tube amps) - benefit is even more otherworldly luscious midrange, cost is lack of bass control, bloat or too early roll off
