Leben Cs600 and LM 219iA


Hi folks,

advise needed on LM219iA. I listen to Jazz, pop/rock, acoustic etc and between those amps, Do you think LM219iA would be an upgrade?....currently using Cs600 with Zu Druids.

I know many will suggest to go for an audition, but I just need some opinion from here.

thanks

Those are really different  amps.  I think the LM will play with more authority .
As a Leben and LM dealer, there will be a pretty decent difference in sound profiles b/t the two.  Both are excellent integrateds.  LM will give you a lot of that SET midrange/top end "magic".  CS600 is a fantastic integrated though.....

Are you looking for something different soundwise out of what you currently have?  Or just looking for a change?


Gold print, 
As a dealer,  can you elaborate  on the differences more? Also,  where is your store? 
Thanks,  John 
hi5.
Your Leben amplifier has an excellent reputation and I imagine that it's a very good match with the Zu speakers. These 2 amplifiers are fundamentally different designs . Push pull 6l6GC/el 34 compared to 845  (with 300b driver) SET,yep,they're different. Individual taste rules so hard to predict which one you'd choose. Given your music genre preferences the 845 SET would be a superb option.  My bias is in the direction of the LM 219ia.
