Leben CS600 or Atmasphere or ARC

I'm a Leben and DeVore dealer.  The 600/600x are very nice matches with the Nines.

I also sell Line Magnetic.....the 805ia is another option that works quite well with the Nines.

I imagine Atmosphere would also be a great match, but I think their units are all amps? (not sure if they make an integrated)

Cary SLI80 has always been another good unit with the DeVores, and would certainly fall under your price point (even new).

@goldprintaudio ,

Ah but the OP (and perhaps also other users of the DeVore Nines) will want more than ' very nice matches' and 'works well'.


It's appreciated that you've stated that you're a dealer (and might have a vested interest in promoting one brand over others) but how about putting on your enthusiast's hat and declaring which amp you would pick if you you were using the Nines?

It's might be helpful to hear what a voice of experience might bring to the discussion. Sometimes another's opinion can chime in with our personal preferences and sometimes it doesn't.

Reviews can never be perfect, but they can be helpful if written with a little honesty and thought.

A good review is often one which the reviewer will tell you their preference but also point out what someone with a different preference might prefer.

Here's one good example of such an approach from Zero Fidelity looking at several different LS3/5 options currently available form the likes of Harbeth, Falcon and Sound Artist.

As he states, in his opinion the Harbeth is his preferred option for his particular usage. He also explains why it might not be for everyone who is interested in this particular design.

This detail is quite important.

My understanding is that HiFi+ will have a review of the Atma-Sphere M-60s on DeVore loudspeakers quite soon- issue #192.

@davehg 

I bought an amp already, I also upgraded my speakers too :)

Last year was the year that I had the most upgrades to my system (speakers, amps, cables).

I want to blame it's because of Covid! :)

What did you end up with?
