About the CS300-XS

The Leben CS300-XS is a two-channel valve integrated amplifier equipped with four Sovtek EL84 power tubes and two Sovtek 12AX7A driver tubes. It delivers 15 watts per channel with a frequency response of 15Hz to 100kHz (-2 dB) and low distortion of 0.7% at 10W. The amplifier features five line inputs plus tape monitor, a headphone output, and selectable output impedance (4/6/8 ohms). It is designed with high-end audio grade components including precision resistors and specialized capacitors, and uses a newly developed output transformer for extended high-frequency response. The CS300-XS offers a warm, tube-like sound character favored by audiophiles, contrasting with the more modern and clear sound of the CS-300F model. It has a classic retro appearance with solid ash side panels and gold-plated aluminum controls. Dimensions are 360mm (W) x 270mm (D) x 140mm (H), and it weighs approximately 10.5 kg. The amplifier consumes 82W of power and includes a detachable AC power cable. It is highly regarded for its sound quality and build, making it a popular choice among tube amplifier enthusiasts.
