I have to agree with onhwy61; trust your own ears. I live in central Ohio, and have had the opportunity to hear both of the systems you're considering. In my opinion the Levinson based system better meets my tastes, but the other may better meet yours. I think you could get much better sound for substantially less cash outlay, as is evidenced by a friend who has the 2c3d system and prefers the sound of my system on a regular basis. Good luck and above all, make sure you get something you'll enjoy.
Dream System. Spectral or Levinson.
I'm considering between two systems, but would love to hear your input. Debating on a Spectral/MIT/Avalon system w/Spectral Mono Block's, and all Spectral Digital. Or Mark Levinson/Revel Salon system, w/No 33's and Full Levinson Digital. Your thoughts or Suggestions.
