Mark Levinson with Vandersteens?


Hey all, hoping you can help me find a great SS match for Vandersteen Treos.

I have heard them with the Ayre V-5xe and was impressed but not blown away. A friend suggested the ML 532H would have more weight and body while retaining the definition.

Music = everything from Miles to Massive Attack but almost no classical.

System = hi-res files thru a Bel Canto 2.5 DAC/preamp direct into amp in a room 20w x 16d x 10h.

Thanks in advance.

Leninson and Vandersteens are a great match , but then Levinson's are very neutral and sound good with nearly everything , unless your tastes are for overly colored gear .

I'm not a big fan of most Levinson gear but there power amps are simply the finest . I purchased the #532H about a year ago , after listening to every available amp in my area and feel it's the best sounding amp on the market regardless of price .
I guess all I can say is listen for yourself . McCormack and Classe' are not in the same league as Levinson , never have been , never will be . Pass Labs can be great in the right system but are a little warm for many systems .
