Looking for an amp for my Harbeth 7es3's in the $2000-$3000 range new or used. My room is 12'x15'. I am using a Sony xa5400 cd player. My preamp is a DeHavilland Ultraverve 2. Very difficult to audition amps since I live in Maine and there are no Hi-end dealers even close. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!!!
Hi, I think that a used DeHavilland stereo 845 would be a good match considering the size of your room. If your patient you could wait for one to come up for sale on the GON. Good Luck, Tish
Hi Muzicat, Since pdreher paid his money to list the piece on audiogon maybe its not the same thing as trying to sell without posting an ad. Maybe? I don't know, but I'd just let the moderators handle it if it was up to me. Don't mean any harm just my opinion, Tiah
I've owned a pair of these, and was using a naim 250 to drive them which worked wonderfully. I think the naim amps are made to drive these. Apart from this suggestion, you should also look at the leben amplifiers, which I'm told is a match made in heaven.
You should seriously consider Racamuti's advice and go with the DeHavilland amp if you want to keep your present preamp. Best synergy is achieved that way.
