Amplification with Harbeth Loudspeakers

Anyone have suggestions for partnering electronics with Harbeths? I have Compact 7's and am considering Bryston or Audio Research. Any thoughts?

Only other time I've heard Harbeths was C7s w/ a Belles 150, which didn't sound as good. This was surprising, esp. since I had used a Belles amp w/ Spendor LS 3/5s successfully, so I think it must have been the room, cables, source etc. I'm thinking of trying Harbeths myself, after owing a number of Spendors (among others). I just hope they work w/ my VAC. Good luck, TLH
