A very simple question: what would the Audiogon audience prefer as the best match for the Mark Levinson 33H Power Amplifier? The Mark Levinson Reference No. 32 or the Conrad-Johnson ART? The only criterion is "musicality". I listen 90% to classic and 10% jazz.
I agreee with Paul. Not to take anything away from the CJ or the ML, the BAT VK50SE is an incredible preamp. It is dead quiet and tonally beautiful. I strongly suggest that you audition it if you have the chance.
Frankly, the ProAc's have a beautiful midrange which is very warm. I think the CJ may be a bit too much. I would recommend the ML 32 or the BAT VK-50SE if you wanted tubes.
The system should sound great with either of them.
