Levinson gear is way overpriced and over rated.You're paying for the panache of the name.$ for $ you will be farther ahead with Pass equipment.You may want to consider a tube pre amp with a Pass amp.Gotta have tubes somewhere in your system or it just isn't music.
Which Pre/power combo?
I am currently using a ML37/ML360S,Revel F52,Kimber 3035,KS1130 xlr and a Primare a30.1 amp.
Now is time to move to a pre/power with preferably over 500w,the question is which s/s pair would be best?
On the short list are either the ML320S/380S/326S with eitherML336/432
Or the pass labs X1 with X250.5/X350.5
I will be buying pre owned in the UK since the new prices are very high for the above units,so demoing will be hard.
I would prefer a sound baised on the warm side!
Any opinions or other alternatives wecome,thanks.
