If this is of any help to you, I have a Shindo Monbrison and Montille combo that I use with Klipsch LaScala IIs. I also have a Leben CS300XS that is paired with Devore Super 8s. I have never swapped the Leben into my main room with the Klipsch, but I have brought the Devores into that room.
To my ears the Leben is smooth, detailed, but laid back. The Shindo gear is more involving and really pulls you in. The Leben is in our family room for casual listening and background music. It works perfectly for this with the Super 8's. When I really want to get into the music, I head to the Shindo room.
I love the Shindo, but I am curious about hearing Leben seperates.
On a side note. Comparing the Klipsch to the Devores with the Shindo, for my ears the Klipsch are miles ahead.
