levinson 436monos vs. krell mcx 350monos

now now Steve...lets not be hating the ml gear too much =). even though you're right on all accounts regarding HK/Madrigal, the ml amps can sound really good. mine fell right into step and gave me the sound i was looking for. lets just hope i don't need service anytime soon.

did factor in the rip off/poor service factor i'm expecting from HK should i need their help (or lack there of). still loved the sound and went with the ml. seems the 400 series is much more reliable then the 300's... except for your horror story experience. we'll see?? my fingers are crossed.

go ahead and laugh at me when i post a rant if/when my 432 takes a crap and hk kills me on the repair cost. i'm gonna enjoy it in the meantime =).

cheers buddy

i know what you mean Steve. it really is a shame what HK did to a once top tier name/brand. i wonder if they even know/care about the horrible reputation they have out here?. i actually liked the sound of the 336 a tad better then the 432 but refused to take the much bigger risk(imo) involving the 300 series. seems many of the 300's have a regularly scheduled failure interval that cost about $1500.

i agree with you and alot of other folks who say avoid HK/ML if possible. i wanted to talk myself out of it but truely loved the sound. it was the best i could find that fit my paramiters/budget. like i said before....fingers are crossed.

i've been a krell fan for a long time...especially there older lines. your system has really come along nicely. you went from outstanding to incredible very quickly. it's gotta sound fantastic!.

enjoy buddy.
