I have had a Levinson 27.5 and now have a 334 with Audio Physics Avanti Centuries and have found both amps to very detailed, outstanding soundstage, with great bass, warm mids and highs. I do believe you need a good cables with the Levinson. I am using Audioquest Diamond X3 and Dragon speaker cables. You also need a very good input source, the amp is VERY detailed and will reveal any other input weakness. But in the end everyone has an opinion and thier own preferance. With a good name like Levinson or Krell you can always get a large portion of your money back if you want to change or upgrade. Hope this helps.
Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like?
I have never been interested in Levinson amps, because I was given the opinion they were sterile, clinical, & lacked the palpability of other top SS amps. However, I have seen a number of 'Gon members praise them recently.
What is your opinion of their sound compared to Plinius, Roland, Pass, McCormack, Ayre, etc.?
