Both speakers sound really good - you simply won't go wrong with either one of them. The LM amps have balls. Line Magnetic is maybe the best Chinese tube amp maker going of the brands that are mainly advertised as Chinese brands - brands like Melody that are Australian but made in China is right there as well.But basically it comes entirely down to your ears your hearing of them on the music you play.
I have owned the J/Spe for 11 years so whatever I say here is biased. But basically - you have to weigh which one you like better. If you say to yourself "it's a draw" then you look at price and power handling.
The AN J is easier to drive - you can run a 5-10 watt 300b SET and play to very loud levels with very solid bass. The Harbeth is 85-86dB sensitive and may force you to use the UL mode of the LM where the AN J will let you use the IMO better Triode mode all the time. Also should you got to a SET you won't have to replace the AN J. But this is secondary issues to the actual sound.
I would suggest you try and use your amp with the speakers and play the hardest hitting pieces of music you have (that you like and actually listen to) and then see.
Preferably, you can get the dealers to let you take the speakers home for the weekend or something. Does not hurt to ask.
