Who heard the Mark levinson 53 monos?


Who has heard the big levinson (class D monos) and how do they sound compared to the other great contenders , Levinson stands for absolute high end for me ,although it seems not be in the picture on the web a lot .
Levinson was my atraction into high end , the set up of 390 s , ml 32 , 432 and avalon eidolon was an eyeopener of high end sound to me , a warm /dark seductive sound i dont know if i am happier with the krells actually ,i moved appartments during the amp change so comparing is hard , i might buy back some 436 monos some day.

have not heard anything newer the the 400 series amps but still consider myself a Levinson fan. guess i'd have to be a fan as a current owner =). fell in love with the 33's and 300 series way back when. 400's only reinforced the feelings. dark or whatever you'd like to call it, Levinson amps (400's on back) have always sounded fantastic imho.

then came the 300's cap issues, crazy repair bills and turn around times. horrible customer service all around, from almost everything i've read. it's a shame what "they" have done to the brand. as a happy owner, i still dread the day if/when my 432 needs work. so far it's been fantastic (please knock on some wood for me). but if i ever have to go through the hell others have described.....i'll be done with the brand too.

cheers
