Boulder monoblocks


I am very interested in the Boulder monoblocks which look very impressive and have very impressive specifications. However, there are only a few serious reviews published on these amps and for $55,000 there are many options. Essentially, for me the most important quality of an amplifier is its bass performance, I like bass that is ultra fast, tight, controlled, and with lots of slam. Another amplifier I am considering are the giant Mark Levinson No. 33 Reference monoblocks. I heard them at a local showroom and thoght that it sounded amazing. I am wondering how it compares to the Boulder monoblocks. Anyone who has had experience with the Boulder monoblocks I would appreciate your comments. Thanks.

HI THERE,
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOU WILL HEAR THUNDEROUS BASS WITH SLAM APLENTY AND MIND BOGGLING LEVELS... WHAT I'M NOT SURE YOU WILL NECESSARILY HEAR IS LIFELIKE BASS WITH MUSICAL INTEGRITY...
THOUGH LOUD, LARGE AND WONDERFULLY TIGHT [YOUR RECQUSITES ] THE SOUND OVERALL IMHO IS STERILE AND ONE DEMENSONAL AND WILL ROB YOU OF LIFELIKE NUANCE SO VITAL FOR MICRO PASSAGES!
THE MUSICAL EQUAVALANT OF A HAMMER STROKE!
I REST MY CASE BY THE WORD "FATIGUING"
