Red Rose Anyone?


Has anyone tried out any of the ultra-premium priced Red Rose line of audio equipment marketed by Mr. Mark Levinson? Are they any different from other high-end brands like Mark Levinson? I guess his non-compete period with Harmon International is over and that is why he is starting a new gig. I am intrigued by its Red Rose Model 5 integrated amplifier, especially with its $8,000 list price tag. Any insight into the Red Rose products would be much appreciated. Thank you.

i have the Red Rose Passion amp and it is the best koean amp I have ever heard.. Beating a CONRAD jOHNSON pf-1 pre and a Mc Cormack DNA125 hands down that I now have for sale '  for musicality and expression of instumentation. It just sounds Right and it has some Ommph. 

I had an integrated made by the company in Japan that makes the Red Rose stuff. Best amp I ever had, perhaps until the last one I got.
