I have to agree with the fellows using Mark Levinson equipment. It is a great match for the Studios. I have had my Studios for quite a while now.
I am using them with a Levinson 380 preamp and a pair of Levinson 33H monoblocks, with a Wadia 861 cd player. Before that I had them hooked up to a Levinson 332, and then two 332's in a biamped configuration. One 332 would have been very adequate. I really wanted the monoblocks, at the time, but just could not spring for them. The two 332's just seemed like a good experiment. And it worked, wonderfully.
I have been very happy with this combination. I did try several different sets of speaker cables, before I settled on Audioquest Calderas in a biwire setup.
If you would like to biamp a set of the Levinson 3 series dual monos, let me know. I have a set of CZ Gel y-adapters, from Madrigal, for that purpose. They are in great shape, and I no longer need them.
You will enjoy the Studios, whatever you choose to power them with. Have Fun! That's the main thing.
