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.

The characteristics that have remained constant are excellent dynamics, bass slam, and fine detail with any harshness. I have KEF LS50 and it goes very well with ML 27.5 The ML calm down the brightness of the KEF's treble, producing a very fluid and liquid sound and yet very revealing. So far, I am enjoying my ML 27.5 and will never sell it until the date it stops working |
ML2 monoblocks, the best sounding amp they ever made. Only 25w but with enough current to drive any speaker to a certain level. http://www.hifido.co.jp/photo/05/504/50446/c.jpg https://img.canuckaudiomart.com/uploads/2018/55/649485879_large_65b80b07ca84be5a3d3a788498ebd2bd.jpg Cheers George |
