mark levinson 436. heard them yet?

I was curious if anyone has heard these new monoblocks from Levinson yet. I'm doing a serious overhaul of my system & I'm really considering getting 3 of these along with a Proceed hpa-2 amp. I will also be getting the Revel Ultima systems with the Salons, Voice & Embrace along with 2 REL Stadium II's, Transparent super speaker cables & interconnects. Any feedback on these amps & any of the other items I have listed would be greatly appreciated. I understand the 436's are supposed to sound better than the 336 which would be great. jon

Hotrod, would ultra be overkill for CJ pv10a, HPA2, Cal audio Ikon MKII, Sony s9000es, ML aerius system?? I have thought about upgrading but maybe the money would be better spent elsewhere?

Couldn't swing the Levinson amps, but I did get the HPA2 and Transparent "super" IC's and Bi-wire. The hpa is a great amp and more than enough power for Martin Logan Aerius which really isn't much of a load. I auditioned in the store with Aerial 10t's cranked pretty loud and it still didn't sound like it was running out of power.(I listen to mostly rock) Over all I have been very happy with Transparent and Proceed products and do not have any regrets. With the components you have listed you should end up with a really outstanding system, hope you enjoy!

Thanks hotrod, I currently use power wedge 116 but have been eyeballing a ps300 or for the possible next upgrade. Would the ps300 be able to handle the amp load or would a dedicated 20amp line be better. Thanks in advance.
