Leben integrated amps and Merlin VSM


Has anyone tried either the Leben CS-300 or CS-600 integrated amps (or even the CS-660P amp) with the Merlin VSMs?

How do they compare with the Ars-Sonum Filarmonia integrated amp or the Berning ZH-270 (that is the ZH-270 connected to a preamp; not standalone). I have both the Ars and the Berning and before I sent my Merlins to Bobby for an upgrade, I found myself still partial to the Berning/Joule combination. I'm anxious to get my Merlins back so I can spend more time listening to the Filarmonia. Nevertheless I would be curious what others thought of the Leben integrated amps.

Thanks!

I just want to buy them because of how colorful they look. Who cares what they sound like right? Actually, they really are a sight to see in person. As far as sound goes, I have no clue. I heard the integrated, but not in my system. I refuse to pass judgement on any piece unless it gets into my listening environment.
An extremely enlightening post R.,one that is sure to cause the kids around the campfire to smile and carry on far into the blackest of nights.No Lebens here yet Dpe.Will be in touch,Bob
