I owned the Leben CS600, and I thought it was very, very good with Castle
Acoustics Howard II loudspeakers, and not good at all with Silverline Sonata III
loudspeakers. It was the quietest tube amp I have ever owned.
Others have commented on this site that they were disappointed by the
CS600's performance.
I would strongly suggest that you arrange an audition of the Leben/Devore
combo before you buy...even if it means getting on a plane to do it. The
Leben is not discounted very much, if at all, and you don't want to make a
"blind" purchase of this component.
