| System Upgrade Replaced my Leben with a Luxman L-509x and, for my ears, those Harbeth's finally sing. No other changes made to the system - for the moment! Speaker cables, interconnects and a record player are next.Thank you again to all. | |
| System Upgrade Thank you jepatey, but after considerable and very helpful insights i decided to sell the Leben because it just struggled (for my taste) with the likes of Classical, Opera and Choir music - these were the areas where it became too flat for my ears... | |
| System Upgrade Thank you All. The Leben sold very quickly and I am pleased with the sale - although I hate to see it go because it was a great amp, perhaps not for my setup.My Dealer is suggesting the Gryphon Diablo 120 or 300 or the Luxman L-509x. Looking at th... | |
| System Upgrade Thank you. It was set correctly. I was just experimenting with other settings. I bought the Leben second hand. Will speak to my Harbeth dealer. Thanks again. | |
| System Upgrade But the moment you challenge it - Choirs, organ music...dial halfway and it is struggling. I think, per earlier posts, power/drive is lacking. Unfortunately. | |

| System Upgrade Thank you All for being so helpful and responsive and offering up various solutions. It is going to take me a while to check everything but once i do, i will report back. | |
| System Upgrade Very helpful, thank you. Will be test running with an Amp. At min. 150W, but more likely 300W. Possibly change some cables. | |
| System Upgrade Thank you All for your help. Re. Impedance it has always been running at 6. The Leben is the first iteration and I have not switched between the two options.The Room is about 6 meters by 6 meters.The PS Audio is the Directstream.Listen moderately ... | |
| System Upgrade Thank you. It i s @ 100%.Integrated or Separates. Just took a look at the Luxman 509X. Preferred budget is $5-$8k. | |
| System Upgrade Preferably valve but i may still be short on power. | |
| System Upgrade Thank you. Suggested amp pairing with the Harbeths? | |
| System Upgrade Thank you.NOS.Since I only recently acquired all the above, is there nothing else I can do? Preamp? Cables? Aurender or other? |
