Amplifiers in use with big Harbeths (Mon 40 series) that work very well

Tried Luxman 590AXII, Hegel 390 and Line Magnetic 805ia with 30.1’s and HL5’s. Prefer the LM by a large margin. Holographic sound that the other SS amps do not offer. I’m a fan of high powered tubes!-Alex

For a non tube amp that works well with big Harbeths I would recommend Dartzeel integrated. End game amplification for end game speakers! 😃

my intent in this thread is to garner responses from users of mon 40’s only

i have super 5s and compact 7s they are rather different kettles of fish

I think I heard that the Swedish Moonriver have been using the BBC family’s of speakers in the development of their amps, could be worth a try!

I had extremely good results with the original Monitor 40’s using a Pass Labs 250.5 and an Audio Research Ref 3 preamp. The Pass brought out the best qualities of the 40’s, articulate bass, wonderful midrange and extended treble. I tried a few combinations before but the Pass/ARC combo really worked best for me.

My room was 13 x 21 x 9 and had a large opening into the dining room behind my listening chair. I sat about 11ft from the speakers.

I don’t know how the Pass works with the newer 40 models so I am not sure if this helps. Good Luck!
