Which is a better speakers choice?


Hi everyone, i need help on to decide for my setup. My current rig are ProAc tablette anniversary driven by a Rega Brio R and the cables are full DH Labs. Which is the better way to go? Sell the proac and get harbeth p3esr to be matched with the rega brio r OR sell the brio r and buy a leben cs300x to be paired with the proac? I asking this coz the dealer of the harbeth and leben is far away from my place need to take a plane to get there so its very impossible for me to have a home audition.. Thanks for the help..

Xtian,

My system doesnt have the weight and body..

The last post immediately stuck to me that you are missing the correct "gain" in your system. Then I checked the spec on the ProAc and find that they slightly less efficient speakers. I have had similar experience when I moved to a larger volume room. After I got the correct gain, my speakers now sound awesome.
The Rega is 50Watts, while the Leben is 15W. I think, for the ProAcs to sound better, you might need more power. So going to Leben may not help. The Harbeth is less efficient. Now understand that I am basing this all on the numbers I am seeing on the component sites.
Do you have anybody close by that you can reach out to, who has a more powerful amp? You might want to try that amp in your system and see if you get back what you are missing. That might be your solution.
