WTD: amplifier to drive Harbeth P3ESRs

[matt2007]

Some time ago I read on the Harbeth forum that LFD, Sugden and Naim are all good matches.

I could loan you my TQ Claymore integrated that I've just bumped back up the sale pages until you bought something.

It's just sitting in a cupboard doing nothing

I sell a lot of Croft to go with Harbeth.

Do you not have a half decent back-up amp to use for now Matt? I always keep one handy.

[Firebottle]

One?

[walpurgis]

One?

One is the back-up (my JVC AX-A441). The six or so others are just sort of 'there' .

Hi Steve ... strangely enough, if I had the same question, I'd probably have asked ... you!
Have you ever tried a Marantz PM-4, or maybe something like a Yamaha CA1000 ... class A transistor jobs? Years back, I really liked a second generation Sugden A21a with the original P3s, which was a much better match than the specs would indicate.

Steve, I have an XTZ A100 if you want to have a borrow of it and see how it goes? Switchable between class A and AB and comes with a remote control.

Thanks for the kind offer Martin and thanks for the offers by pm etc from a great bunch of AOSers I think I'm sorted now.
