:-) It depends on the coloration. I don't think you can tame the nasality I found on the Harbeths with any amp. To me that's more annoying than the boxiness in the midbass the Spendors have, which by the way, the Harbeths also have for their thin cabinet walls.
You may prefer more extension and accuracy in the spectrum extremes. I prefer a naturally balanced midrange and give up some top octave "airyness" and bottom octave response. Some may prefer more "detail" and midtreble "punch" and others liking better some relaxation there.That's why I think it's important he listens to the speakers himself.
