Welcome to AudioCircle.  My wife has relatives in Holsbeek and I loved my visit to Belgium.

"Room is 40 square meters." Sweet!  :thumb: :thumb:

I don't have Harbeth loudspeakers so no recommendation from me.

What's your budget?

And welcome to Audio Circle.  :D

That is a big room, suited for a planar or OB.

Thx everyone for welcome.
I m building complete system.
So have only speakers.
Bought them brand new almost 4000.
So I like the amp not more preferable less than 4000.
Also dac streamer pre amp and cables budget also 4000 preferable less.
40 square meters ain’t to big it ain’t feet.
It’s my living room with dining room.
So no dedicated listening room.

Welcome!

I use a $2750 USD NAD M10 "streaming amplifier" from their Masters Series (the value leader of the series).  It's a very flexible, compact, and thoroughly modern all-in-one component.  It handles analog, coax, optical, Bluetooth, HDMI, USB, Tidal, and Radio Paradise inputs and outputs to headphones (Bluetooth), preamp, subwoofers (2), and speakers.  Can be controlled via it's big/clear touchscreen, Windows, Mac, Android, or iOS.  Uses NAD's in house BlueSound operating system, so no additional software needed.  Makes digital easy. 

Conservatively the M10 provides 100 watts per channel.  Realize that the relationship between watts and dB of gain (loudness) is logarithmic meaning that it takes ten times the watts to produce twice the loudness, so to make the Harbeths sound twice as loud would take 1,000 watts (which is way more than they're rated for).  So 100 watts per channel would be fine. 

Just a suggestion, but in my opinion a hard one to beat.
