Harbeth SHL5 for Shindo Montille?

You might not have enough power with the 15 watt Montille. The Habeth is 86 DB sensitivity although it is 8 ohms. Might work but you would have to try it

Yeah, I didn't have time to look up speaker and amp specs, but my first reaction was the same as ahendler. Maybe call Pitch Perfect or another Shindo dealer and ask them.

The Harbeth official spec at 86 db is very conservative. One of the British magazines actually measured it at closer to 90 or 91. Also the steady impedance loadline makes for an easy drive for tube amps. I've been running my SHL5's with an Allnic 300b integrated rated at 12.5 wpc. In a reasonably sized room and sitting within 10 foot proximity of the speakers I get all the volume level I need for my satisfaction. My preferred music genre is small jazz trio, acoustic, etc.

Ultimately, the dynamic headroom may be a little compromised with low power tubes but the quality of the presentation makes up for any lack of quantity (ultimate SPL) as far as my preferences go.

Yeah, I also heard from many sources (users, dealers) that SHL5 do not have offical parameters sound good for tubes but in reality this speaker is quite OK. It is recommended for Leben CS600 but Leben has 30watts so no big deal. As for Shindo+Harbeth combo I was interested in in musical synergies also - would Harbeth be as good speaker for Shindo as it is for Leben? My room is approx. 20m2.

You got to be kidding, right? Shindo is about as cultish as they come..the guy's a scatter brain with his designs. Buy today, changed design tommorrow...very hit or miss. 15 watts are a joke anyway for almost any speaker unless your one of those limp eared listeners who are offended by realistsic music levels.
