Default I love my Leben CS300XS!

This amp is just fantastic. I listen to it every day as it is in our family room/kitchen. It is so smooth, subtle and always sounds just right. The combo with my Devore Super 8's is really something special. I love the bass boost control as the Devores are not a big speaker yet they can still fill the room at lower volumes with the bass kicked up a notch. Even after listening in my Shindo and O/96 room, when I come downstairs there is never a big letdown.
It's compact and a real beauty.
The best money I ever spent in audio

Chris,

Get that basement listening room built. Move the Shindo down there and then you'll have to get one for the family room!

I'm driving the Super 8's with a very old Mc integrated ( the first one : MA5100) and they sound awesome but I may fall again in the fever with a litlle Leben..,.
