System Upgrade

Thank you jepatey, but after considerable and very helpful insights i decided to sell the Leben because it just struggled (for my taste) with the likes of Classical, Opera and Choir music - these were the areas where it became too flat for my ears. I appreciate that many say that this is a wonderful match, but I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of presence when listening. 

To improve the sound to start with bicabling with good cables is not to expensive.I experienced a significant improvement with Van der Hul revelation bicabling.
Anothe but more expensive step is biamplification.This a secure and significant improvement.
Other not expensive investement is the sidecof power supply and goroundung correctly mainly in the preamp.
As well signal cables as MIT is a secure good investement.
About room sonic response is as well a not significant investment.Absortion of fist reflection, bass tramps in the corners and diffusion panels on the laterals and roof as well as on the back.
Assuming you have a correct location of speakers at least 1m fron back and lateral walls and correct location of listening posicion.
I went through all thise steps before passing to biamplification or changing the equipment.But believe me the sonic traitment of the room is key factor.
Hope this help.I do not know your equipment.

Javier

MIT and biamping Harbeths? Wonders never cease but I still appreciate Audiogon!

Replaced my Leben with a Luxman L-509x and, for my ears, those Harbeth's finally sing. No other changes made to the system - for the moment! Speaker cables, interconnects and a record player are next.

Thank you again to all.

Great!  Thanks for letting us know the good news.

Best regards,
