Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600

Groenlykke, congratulations on your CS-600 purchase. It's a very special and versatile amp tobesure. Curious as to which model of Harbeth's you were thinking of; and how big is your room?

There are many write ups on the pairing of the Leben CS-600 with ProAc's D2. I can attest, it's a match made in heaven, and with the RS-30EQ Phono Pre-amp it sings as an analog front end.

The D2's allow for easy room placement; tight bass; sweet mids and highs (roll tubes to your tastes) and the ability to handle any and all music you throw at it equally well.

There are so many inquiries along these lines, and I always find it interesting, and a little strange. Speakers determine the personality of the system so much that it almost seems like buying an amplifier and then looking for speakers to match it is ike buying a wedding band and then looking for someone to marry.

good point Roxy54.

Hi,
Groenlykke, I would ignore Roxy54`s poor analogy . His response in a audiophile cliche that places over emphasis on the speaker`s role in an audio system. Sure you can build a system around a speaker, but you can do the same just as sucessfully with an amplifier as the staring point. If one decided to own a SET or an OTL amp one would then audtion or seek out speakers compatible with the amp requirements. I did this when I went down the SET pathway and selected components that complemented my 300b monoblocks. This included finding benign load and higher efficiency speakers (not a difficult task at all). You have found your amp and now searching for a matching speaker. Again either method can work ouy just fine.
Good Luck

we still don't know what the current speakers are.
