I have owned a lot of Levinson equipment, dating back to the 1980’s, including the ML-2, ML-3, and No 20 amps, and the ML-7 and No 26 preamps. The earliest stuff was wonderfully musical, but did have a somewhat dark sound. By the time of the No 20 and No 26 that characteristic was greatly reduced. I currently own the 585 integrated amp, and it is extremely neutral and transparent. The characteristics that have remained constant are excellent dynamics, bass slam, and fine detail with any harshness.
