I use my 23.5 on the bottom of a bi-amped system, with a Gamut D200 on the top of both sides. Need to be careful that the output levels of both amps are reasonably matched. My impression (and multiple reviews) suggest that the 23.5 has lots of control over the bass, but a "dark" sound on the top. I would tend to agree, but overall this is a wonderful amp.
Levinson 23.5 and Biamping Gurus?
I am so far very happy using my 23.5 with newly restored Magneplanar Tympani IV'as.
The system sounds great and the amp seems to have reserves of power to where I can barely crack the volume -- even in a pretty big, very high ceilinged room.
Nonetheless, the more I read about the much smaller Maggies slurping monstrous amounts of current, I wonder if I might be missing something.
Could anyone advise me on adding a second 23.5 and bridging them? That would obviously add gigantic amounts of power and I am wondering if this would take the Maggies to new heights.
To really get fancy, maybe 23.5's bridged and Audio Research tubes on the mids/treble?
It is always fun to buy more gear but I would greatly appreciate any insight anyone might have.
Thank you.
