Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD

@macg19 I mentioned Simaudio due to the very possible synergy with the Harbeth 40.3 XD. Very neutral with top to bottom extension that won’t effect the tonality of the Harbeth. My experience with Accuphase is a saturated/darker type of sound that might not be needed/wanted on the 40.3 XD. Luxman works best on aggressive forward type of speakers with a lot of treble energy B&W/Focal and Magico. I have heard the 40.2 Harbeth with a Luxman 505(under powered?) and thought its biggest weakness was a slight boxy restricted/closed in charactaristic. Since the Moon 700i V2 or V1 is a true dual mono amp this will help open up the soundstage and give the Harbeth a more spacious airy treble/soundstage which the Moon excels at. You own a great world class set of speakers please don’t skimp on electronics. Hope my comments are somewhat helpful.

@dayglow Very helpful, thank you. Any comments on the V2 vs. V1 considering there is a V1 for sale for $5500?

I would compare Accuphase both class A and class AB to Gryphon Diablo 120 with your speakers. All might sound excellent but very different. 

For the past 5 years I've been using Classe 200 monoblocks to drive my 40.1's....superb sound, transparent midrange, very smooth highs, great impact in the bass....reminds me so much of my Quad 57 ESL's

@macg19   Have only heard the 700i V2 version. The system consisted of 700i V2/Dynaudio Confidence 20/Moon 260/Nordost Vahalla 2/Nordost power conditioning(not sure of what model(s). Might want to contact Simaudio or some info might be in print or Youtube reviews?
