Levinson 33h or 336?

I have been shopping for amps to match up with my WP6's and Levinson #32 preamp (stepped up from 380s). I have listen to Krell, Mcintosh, Pass and prefer Levinson. However I have listen to the 33h but have been told the 336 is so close sonically to them it is scary. I am trying to get an audition to hear for myself but having trouble. Though this would be a good place to start for an opinion.

IMHO (having compared both on the WP6 with transparent opus and all ML ref gear), the 33H is clearly the way to go if you like the ML sound. The 336 is far less subtle and a lot less involving to listen to at length... I auditioned with two of my friends and we all had the same experience (which, incidentally, went against my expectations).

If possible, you should definitely go the extra distance to hear the 33H.

Good luck,
Jacob
