Thank you for the kind words, Physiomat. 

The Harbeth fit my musical preferences perfectly; I typically go through a lot of equipment, but I've had Harbeth in my system longer than any other component.

Thanks, Jafant. My goal was to keep the system simple and enjoyable.

I found the Mountain Wood blocks at Home Goods, they were only $39 so I bought a few of them. 

You can also find them on Amazon ($49 + $12 for shipping). They are the 16"x16" Acacia extra thick (2 1/2").

Thank you @oleschool . I can see you're a fan of AZ products as well. 

I've always wanted to hear Robert's speakers, but haven't come upon the opportunity. How do you like your Adagios?

Don't get me wrong, I love tubes--my favorite amp (which I wish I didn't sell) was a Jeff Korneff 45. 

What would you gentlemen suggest as a good Tube amp match for Harbeth? 

I tried a Rogue Cronus Magnum and Line Magnetic 518.

The Harbeth are the eucalyptus finish, however, if you looks closely you can see the stands are cherry. They matched my previous SHL5s. 

The cabinet is an inexpensive piece that I ordered from JC Penney a couple years ago. It's actually pretty well built and serves it's purpose.

Thank you!

I find the Harbeths sound best with a lot of power and the MF packs a 500 watt punch. I've used the SHL5+ with lower powered tube amps and didn't enjoy them nearly as much. 

My next goals are to focus on clean power (dedicated power lines and upgraded outlets) and room treatments.
