Levinson's lack of support and service are now legendary. It would be hard to find worse. They will charge you about $1200.00 on the average before they will even agree to service your equipment. And how about this for prompt service time? One year and a half and the 436 amps had to be sent back and forth three times after that to get them to work. Once they were finally fixed they did sound good, but never great.

Harman's take over of Levinson, "becaues of poor service and support by the Madrigal guys", is the biggest farce I've ever seen.

Here is yet another abomination by Harman/Revel. Failure to keep replacement drivers built and in stock for Revel Salons and Studios. I know people that have waited over a year for the midrange drivers. This is not a slam against Kevin Voecks the designer at Revel. I believe he is a great designer. Too bad Revel is part of Harman.

I will never purchase any equipment manufactured by Harman Kardon or any of its affilates ever again.
Hey Lev,
I don't really have an issue with the sound. In fact I plotted and planned to purchase the big #33 amplifiers. I wanted to owne the complete reference system. The Levinson sounded great to me and I did enjoy it for many years. That is one reason why I'm so disappointed in what Harman has done. They took a great line, and trashed it.
And they let their loyal dealers and customers die on the vine.
That being said, I'm not surprised your really enjoying your amp. I know it sounds great and the looks are killer.
Have fun, Lev!
