Looking for new (to me) Speakers for Leben CS300XS---Devore, Harbeth, or Reference 3A?


Hi, I am motivated to purchase one of these soon to use with the 15 watt Leben. I will be replacing my Zu's which are for sale here.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

DeVore Gibbon The Nines = $3.4k and a 81 mile round trip.

Harbeth C7ES-3 = $3.k and a 19 mile round trip. 

Reference 3A Episode BE = $2.7k and 36.5 mile round trip.


What would you do?

I have concluded the best amplifier for Audio Note loudspeakers is an Audio Note.

That may be the case but other tube amps work well I am using a custom PP 17 watt EL34 amp to power my AN-J's. Having heard Leben gear I think it would match well with AN.

Thank-you for all your responses!

I should have noted that the Harbeth's came with stands. However, the owner advised me that they've been sold.

I’m driving the Tekton 2-10 Perfect Set with a 20 watt Schiit  Aegir.  $2k delivered for the Tekton’s.  You don’t have to drive anywhere.  60 day home trial.  Play louder than I would ever want, even for rocking out.

You’re really missing out if you don’t give them a try.
