Harbeth 30.1's w/Leben CS-1000P or CS-600


I have Harbeth 30.1's in a small 10'x13' room and am currently running them with solid state Blue Circle gear. I'm curious about Leben but fear even the CS-600 will lack the power needed to properly drive 30.1's. Does the CS-1000P buy you better sound or just more power? The cost of the 1000P plus their preamp would be nearly triple the 600, but if it's a huge upgrade I could potentially swing it. Hopefully I'll take a trip to NYC and hear both in the near future. Any thoughts? Thanks.

you will be fine with the CS 600. I've used as little as 32 WPC (tube) with both the SHL5's and 40.1's in a room much larger than yours. Power IME is over rated.
