I have not heard any of the combinations together, but am familiar with many of the options listed.

1)Don't like the top end in the Zu, the Leben is very nice
2)A nice smooth sounding combination
3)DK
4)A nice lively detailed combo
5)AR amp overpriced for what you get (nothing special)
6)DK

Personally, I'd go for the Pathos/Proac combo.
