Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600

Hello I have recently purchased a Leben cs-600 wich I am very proud of.
But the next problem is to find a set of speakers for it. But which ones???

I have via a couple of reviews in the cyberspace found that this amp. schould work very well with both proacs and harbeths. Do any of you have any expirence with any of these combinations???

All the Best

Charles1dad,
If it's a "cliche", maybe it is because many people feel that way. There are many ways of approaching anything, but it still seems to make more sense to choose the speaker you like best, and then the amp that brings out the best in that speaker.

Concur with Charles1dad.

To the OP, if you prefer your sound on the heavier, bassier side of things then Harbeth's are less likely to deliver.

Devore speakers have been suggested in the past as a musical match ... maybe worth considering also.

I use to own the Leben CS600 and Harbeth SHL5. Although pleasant sounding, I wasn't overally impressed with the synergy, even after changing to Sovtek EL34 or Harma 5881 tubes. For my taste I found the Harbeth's sounded better with my Audiosector Patek SE (40w/ch gainclone) amp. Using the more precise and neutral sounding Patek, with DNM reson IC and speaker cables, the SHL5 sang with greater cohesion with a tighter, punchier mid bass and neutral mid range. I also found the SHL5 responded very well with proper speaker stands and care with positioning.
