Over on the Harbeth Users Group (I know, I know), there is a thread called "The 'A-list' of amplifiers actually in use At home". While this obviously covers all the Harbeth models, and while subjective comments are indeed discouraged, what I still find interesting is the really wide and diverse range of amplifiers being used. You can find a number of 40.x there.
I tried an Ayre AX-7 on my 40.2's (regular model) and it sounded more than respectable. The Belles Aria monoblocks were better. A little better still, are the Audio by Van Alstine DVA M225 monoblocks. Medium room, approx. 8.5' triangle.
