RE: two amp/speaker combos that sound great together

I have Primaluna PL 1 with older Vienna Bachs. It's a good combo. Tried a lot of tubes and ultimately went back to stock. Still want to try kt77s, though. Which tubes are working for you with the smaller Haydns?

I tried the Harbeth P3esrs with the Primaluna to no avail. Just couldn't get the sound to my liking. I think the high output impedance of the Primaluna just wasn't a good match for the Harbeth's curves. That's sort of a problem with the Primaluna stuff (the upside is probably very little, if any negative feedback applied). Since the amp's rather high output impedance makes for audible frequency response variations according to speaker load, it makes the whole amp / speaker matching process even more of a mystery than usual. I sold the Harbeth's for little loss and quite happily went back to my Viennas (a known quantity).
