Tube amp for Harbeth compact 7

Hi guys i would like to try a tube amp EL34 or SET.
I am new to harbeth, only tried with class A Luxman.
I would like to have a tube amp, very curious about Line Magnetic
and the new Primaluna.
I would like to start hearing from you before getting any further.
I listen mostly vinyls on my Rega p5 with ps audio phono.
dAC ps audio mark 1.
AZ hologram cables
Nordost lS RD IC balanced.
Thank you.

If you are interested in whether the Line Magnetic gear will play well with your Harbeth speakers, contact Peter at Venice Audio. He sells both Line Magnetic amplifiers and Harbeth loudspeakers.

I'm using a 30wpc SET Mastersound Compact 845 with my Harbeth C7's. Magical - as long as you go with a leaner cables - I'm using Auditorium 23.

Another great choice would be the Unison S6.

I briefly used a 20wpc Mastersound dueventi el34/set and that also worked very well - in a smaller room.

30wpc gives you all the control and slam you could ever want.

Meiwan,
Good example, The Mastersound is well built and has very good transformers.Some people tend to clump SET amplifiers and don`r recognize the very broad spectrum they represent.

so you guys think that a SET 845 could do the work for me,
instead a Kt88 or EL34, i certainly want to move to a long lasting satisfaction, but unfort as i said I dont have any possibilities of listening or auditioning any where i am currently.
best regards

i will take my time here to get more info.
i am sure many others will share their experiences.
