Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel?


Curious what current consensus is regarding the above question.

Thank you.

Oh yes... the AR150SE produces 150 watts into 8 ohms.  Just assumed everyone knew that.  The Harbeths never require more than about 1/3rd of the potential - POT usually is not set above 35/100, which produces a volume level more than most can tolerate.   

I did not expect that the 150SE would drive the relatively inefficient Harbeths so well.  But... the AR does.

I'm using Manley Snappers (100w per side monoblocks) sounds amazing. 

 

disclaimer : also using (2) 18" subs powered by a Crown Macro-tech 2400 and a BSS X-over 🥳

I am playing my Harbeth 30.2 XDs through an ARC 160S. No issues at all although the sound really opened up compared to the solid state LFD I was using previousl.
