Levinson 33 Archaic????


While telling a Pro-Audio buddy about Big Levinson, Pass, and GamuT amps and this was his response....

That's funny how these archaic amps designs think there the best and most powerful. Its funny because every so called high end sight claims there the best. Crown makes an amp that that is 10,560 watts into .85 ohm. Eighty (80) 250watt output transistors. Final output of 150 volts at an amazing 180 amps. Now that's high voltage and high amperage. Show me a amp that can beat that?

I know all this power really doesn't have anything to do with how it sounds...I was a bit shocked....what can I say?

By the way, how are the pro amps able to produce so much power out of a 120V/15A line with so little energy storage?

Thanks!

Actyally, the 33 is the best sounding, most neutral amp I have heard. I enjoy the sound of many great tube amps, but can't say that any are as neutral. The 33 seems to have less of a sonic signature than any amp I have heard, and it is significantly smoother and more relaxed than the 33h.
