    Stuart, you're very welcome to come over for a listen. I'll give you a call after the football and we can fix something up.

    The Sony hasn't gone and nor has the Luxman. Angus is fettling the Sony and I'm hopeful it will make a return in the coming weeks. I don't plan on keeping both the Leben and the Luxman so one of them will be sold in the coming months. I just don't know which one yet. It's early days with the Leben but it has made an excellent first impression.

    Thanks Stuart. I'm very pleased with the little Leben. It seems to suit the Tannoys very well.

    Very very nice set up.... I've heard both the Luxman and Leben on big Tannoys being my own 15's and my friends Windsors....

    Knew which I preferred and it was not even a difficult decision surprisingly....

    Enjoy the Music....

    Please do tell. I'd value your input Paul. I've only had the opportunity for limited sessions since the Leben arrived. My first impressions favoured the Leben and the first few sessions reinforced that feeling but I've been away for a week now and, in the absence of listening, doubts have crept in.

    Trust your OWN ears? It takes time, sometimes though. everyone is different.
    Better? Who can say?
