CJ ET250s or Pass Labs XA30.5 ---for Harbeth 7ES-3
I’m debating between these 2 amplifiers for my Harbeth 7ES-3 speakers. As you know, the Compact 7 is relatively easy to drive but I want the amp to be more versatile so that I can use it for other speakers down the road.
FYI, I mainly listen to vocals, pop songs, jazz, symphony and some rock music and I’m looking for natural, accurate mid-range for vocals presentation, smooth and extended treble and dynamic and weighty bass.
How would you compare and characterize these two amps – one is hybrid and the other solid state, in terms of soundstage, imaging, clarity, noise, dynamics, bass, etc? I also plan to get a pre-amp to match either amp and have the following on my list:
Ayre K-5xeMP
Audio Research LS26 or LS17SE or Ref 3
Conrad Johnson ET-3 or other similarly priced models (CT, Premier 17 etc).

If you have any other recommendations, please explain from your experience. Thanks for your feedbacks.
