anyone know actual output of mark levinson 27.5?


not sure if i need to bi-amp with another 50 or 100 watt amp or if this is really more than 100 wpc, need enough to drive b&w matrix 801. 15x25 room, mainly classic rock. thanks for any help.

The 27.5 is an excellent amp, but for speakers requiring
lots of current (like my Magnepans) the 27.5 can seem
anemic. I sold it and got a 335 (500 W/chan @ 4 ohms) and
the dynamics were greatly improved. I agree with Ellery,
spend a little more and get the 23.5
The small CDM series much better-off with 200Wpc at least.
N801 wants at least double otherwise you're wasting whatever this speaker can do...
I have owned both 27.5 and 332. I would say that the 332 is much better 27.5. I modified the 27.5 then the sound is acceptible with transparent of sound. Without modification the sound was poor! (I means the origional 27.5 having cloudy sound.
I don't agree with above negative comments regarding ML 27.5
I own the unit from new and i love the sound ,look ,feel and build quality of the product.Then again it is to be expected from Madrigal . its pushing 100 w per channel dual mono high current design ,best parts,made for life.
i wouldn't sell mine and as the matter of fact i am looking for a second one in fine condition so i can bi-amp.
i do own tube gear too.i enjoy both worlds.
no ML 27.5 is a keeper for me.sure there are more expensive amps ,but in realistic terms the 27.5 is superfine
it was rated class A in stereophile in its day.

happy listening

George...so one person likes his 332 better than the 27.5...big deal...the essence of the posts are not bashing the 27.5, most actually do think it is a wonderful amp...I'd love one myself for my B&W cdm1nt's...but I know that it wont do justice to a pair of 801's unless maybe biamping...who knows.
