Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600

The Proac D2 is one of the most mediocre speakers from Proac factory. The Response 1SC was a lot superior. Harbeths have anyway never impressed me. Look at the Focus Audio FS788 if you are looking at full range sound. They are on the warm side of the neutral and present a huge open airy soundstage. The Leben would really work well these.

the harbeth shl5 and the cs600 was not a very good match personally.
However the c7es3 was a better match w/ the cs600s.

Pani sounds like you were turned down for a dealership on these brands and have an axe to grind.

Now Nolitan, what are you saying? I've heard all the Harbeths with the Leben 600, and they were all fabulous!
what was your beef? The Leben 600 also sounds wonderful with all the Devores.
Haven't heard a Proac in years....sigh..

I lived with the Leben CS600 for quite sometime & have the SHL5s. It was thru Jeff Day recommendation that led me to try the CS600.
I also followed Jeff Day advice on the Auditorium 23 speaker cables with the leben + SHL5s.
It sounds ok but nothing out of the ordinary.
However when a buddy tried his C7es3 with the Leben, we both felt that the synergy was better.
As a matter of fact, so good that he bought the Leben cs600 from me to pair with the C7es3s.
That's my story with the cs600+SHL5s. If you feel that your experience sounded fabulous, that's great!! But for me, it was ok...ymmv
