The Levinson Sound?

All ML are great, except for one.
They really tried to cure the evils of that topology class, but only made things worse, it was never going to happen the doomed Class-D No53 monoblocks

All I can say is you must have heard tired ones, I heard a fully restored pair through 2 pairs of stacked ESL:57's with Kelly Decca ribbons from 12khz up and they were magnificent, and they wiped the floor with the massive ML3 that was on hand. And that's why the ML site calls them the "Legend"

Even from the Mark Levinson vintage website they state there was only one "Legend" poweramp, the ML2 Class-A monoblocks

Quote:
" Power Amplifiers Mark Levinson Power Amplifiers: only 4 designed, one became a legend.
ML-2Class AML-2 2 × 25W monoblocs (the legend).
Class ABML-11 2 × 50W class AB (the entry level)
ML-3 2 × 300W class AB (the huge one)
ML-9 2 × 100W class AB (the baby ML-3)."

Cheers George

ML2 monoblocks, the best sounding amp they ever made. Only 25w but with enough current to drive any speaker to a certain level.

The Levinson Soud?

Great sounds, from old and new still, I still respect them.
They haven't sold out to Class-D like Rowland Research did, and lost a lot of audiophiles respect because of it.
