That's interesting because your speakers are identical to mine. I'm not a loud music listener. Occasionally, very occasionally I may turn it up a bit but I don't think I've ever pushed my Levinson much over half tilt. To my music sounds best at modest volumes and not where my ears bleed lol. That's where considering some of the cheaper Chinese stuff comes in to play. If I have a 60wpc amp, but am only listening at a few watts, how will it perform. Do you use a tube pre as well or ss? Thanks for your input as well. I'm going to look into as options.
