| What makes music so congested? Listen through headphones or earbuds at moderate volumes to get a feel for the recording. The most likely causes for "congestion" are the recording, speakers, and room interaction effects (especially the latter). What some people call congestion i... | |
| Which sub to buy: JL Audio f113 or Velodyne DD18+? With main speakers that reach down as far as the Legacy Focus, the primary reason to use subwoofers is to smooth out the bass, as opposed to giving you more of it. Unless you get lucky, you might find that positioning your Foci for best imaging do... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? The conclusion I'm drawing is that the ML amp market is down and slower because of the perception of reliability issues, customer service issues, and the high cost of parts and service. In the end it doesn't matter whether or not I agree with any ... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Read all the post on the net my friend..cant help it if ya got stuck holdin the 300 series bag,lol.Yes, never owned a 300 series but I would buy a 500 series.Just as I thought. Hearsay. I didn't get stuck; all of my ML equipment is now sold, but I... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Its documented fact the 300 series has/had issues out the yingyang (and has since day one).JUNK!!!Where is this documented? Just posts like yours? (I figured you never owned an ML product.) | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? One morning I turned it on and there was static on the right channel. I power cycled it a few times, made sure there were no cabling issues, etc and could not get it to stop.I called the ML support number and they said that more than likely it was... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? The Levinson 300s series is JUNK IMO...I wouldnt want it at any price.Prices on the cheap has nothing to do with the site,its the gear.Good luck with that one.Interesting perspective. Have you ever owned one? | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? As a previous owner of a 336 (which I absolutely adored) and experienced the capacitor problem, I can sympathize with those who are leery of the 3xx series of amplifiers. How did the problem manifest itself? Did the amp fail? | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? 05-18-12: KcufnogoiduaI suspect the market for used Levinson amps is slow because the general movement in the audiophile realm is towards high efficiency / low power setups. High efficiency? You mean like Class D Crown amps? Or are you referring t... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? 05-17-12: RhljazzI would never buy due to the known cap problems and expense to repair. I talked to Harman about the so-called cap problem a while back. There were apparently some weak parts, not an endemic problem, and it wasn't even in the 334-3... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? err, because they sound so poor?So far I've typed in and not posted five responses.Go away. | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Congrats Irvrobinson. I won't get in the middle of a Krell/Levinson debate, as I'm not a fan of either brand.I'm not trying to start a this versus that debate. I'm just saying I don't think either amp has a signature sound, especially since they b... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? If you put a Krell amp in your system and a Levinson amp in the system unless you have hearing problems it is easy to hear the difference. I've owned both, I like the sound of both, but the products are voiced much differently and it is relatively... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? FWIW, I listed a 334 today for $2100, and it sold within an hour. | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? I wonder if one of the reasons for slowness in the market for Levinson amps, aside from the situation on Agon, is growing recognition that there are "two Levinsons" -- the equipment Mark Levinson actually designed himself, and the stuff designed a... |
