Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD

Sorry! No, I have used both through my relatively new Denafrips Pontus II DAC. So in that sense, the comparison is fair, as I was bypassing the Hegel DAC.

This is my first stand-alone DAC, and it has spurred the temptation to upgrade other components, at least to some extent. I am not a serial flipper, though, and when I am happy with a system, I usually stick with it for years.

Gato vs Hegel.  I presume they're played in the order listed in the title.

The luxman or the large accuphase would be good choices for that speaker they will add a new dimension to the sound over the rega.

I own the Harbeth 30.2 and matched it with the Luxman 590AXII, it's wonderful. Very open and revealing, as has been mentioned already. I will say (in my opinion) they did not sound good with my older McIntosh equipment, and although I like tubes, I felt the high-end  SS amps sounded better with the Harbeth's. I went with the Luxman as it has tone and loudness controls for which I like the flexibility when listening at low levels. If you don't want that feature, several folks recommended Hegel, and other high-end brands which I have heard and are great also a great match.

+1 @deadhead1000 --

I have Harbeth 30.1 in the home office and use it with the Raven Audio Blackhawk tube amp. I was generally satisfied with this combo. I also happen to have a Luxman 590 AXII driving SHL5+ in the main system. A few weeks ago I hauled the 30.1s to the media room and hooked them up to the Luxman. Needless to say, it smoked the Blackhawk in every aspect and then some more :)
