anyone know actual output of mark levinson 27.5?


not sure if i need to bi-amp with another 50 or 100 watt amp or if this is really more than 100 wpc, need enough to drive b&w matrix 801. 15x25 room, mainly classic rock. thanks for any help.

I don't agree with above negative comments regarding ML 27.5
I own the unit from new and i love the sound ,look ,feel and build quality of the product.Then again it is to be expected from Madrigal . its pushing 100 w per channel dual mono high current design ,best parts,made for life.
i wouldn't sell mine and as the matter of fact i am looking for a second one in fine condition so i can bi-amp.
i do own tube gear too.i enjoy both worlds.
no ML 27.5 is a keeper for me.sure there are more expensive amps ,but in realistic terms the 27.5 is superfine
it was rated class A in stereophile in its day.

happy listening

Ellery hi,
yes i agree your 801,s are big speakers and need a lot of wattage . most likely i will end up buying a second ML 27.5
for bi-amping in my system but my manual clearly states that bi-amping the 27.5 will result in degraded sound quality(in the words of Madrigal) even though i am aware of that i still like to have two 27.5's in front of me.
as for tubes i got two rogue mono's as well .
