Advice, changing system from Sugden & Harbeth to Leben & Devore ?


I need your advice from anyone that has some experience with these products. 

Right now I have a Sugden A21 Signature and Habeth P3ESR's. I'm thinking of changing them to a Leben 300 XS and Devore 3XL. Is this a sidewise move? What would I gain and what would I lose? I unfortunately can't demo before I buy. I was also considering the Line Magnetic 211IA. It's cheaper and more powerful than the Leben. I read a few people saying it matches well with the Devore 3XL. 

Any thoughts? I don't need to play loud and my listening room is rather small. Thanks.

I’m familiar with the Harbeth, Devore, and Leben. IMHO, you would go from a darker, somewhat reserved sound from your current pairing to a quicker, lighter and, to some ears, more expressive sound with the Leben/Devore combo. 

But let’s wind things back. What don’t you like now with your setup, and what are you trying to achieve? And what’s your budget, now and in the future?
