Amps for Wilson Watt Puppy 6.0?
ditto on the Pass X600, infact I also really liked the x350 from pass and the ML 336..X600 however was the best !If you want the best, a pair of Halcro DM58s, that is what I upgraded to from the Mark Levs and never regretted it.Matt

How Good is ML 336?
336 is a great neutral amp, it won't give you tube like sound but offers very good imaging and detail. I demoed the 334/5 and the 336, due to its higher wattage was better in everyway, including slamm and punch.The quality is first rate and holds ...
