Hi Chris -
Without knowing anything about your musical tastes and how loud you listen ... you would be going from floor standers to stand mounts with the Harbeths. Do you have any concerns that your cat (s) will look to topple the new speakers? That would be my first concern. I use my stand mounts (Omega CAMs) on top of bookshelves for that reason. The speakers sound fine, but some of the audiophile niceties get lost.
Second concern would be the speakers' efficiency. With the Leben's output @ 15 wpc, you will want efficient speakers. That may disqualify the Harbeths.
I don't know the other two speakers. I am presently running both Zu Audio and Omega CAMs with my systems.
I like the look and what I have read about the Nines. I might obsess that Pattie Cat and Tony would find the side mounted woofer a little too tempting and interesting, but I would do the trip to audition them.
Apologies for the feline approach to speaker selection, but it would be a big part of the process for me.
