How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ?


I saw a pair of these.  They appearead overkill amps with superb construction. Just about sound quality (not reliability) how they stand with today best amps ?

Reading Al’s post concerning other "original" ML amps with higher power output, George answered my first thought/question. Did the higher powered ML3 rival the sound quality of the revered ML2? I should have known that would be the answer .How do true talents such as Mark Levinson and Dennis Had (Cary) get booted from their own companies? How can one discard that level of passion, commitment and talent? This would the same as Audio Research getting rid of the( late)  William Zane while still very active and involved with the company..

Hi Charles,

The "Background" section of the following court case summary provides an excellent overview of the relevant history:

https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/799/814/117849/

Perhaps the financial troubles that were referred to contributed to Mark & Tom’s decision to produce the relatively low cost (and presumably much more widely marketable) ML-9 and ML-11.

Best,

Al, thanks for the link. I just arrived home and will read it in the morning.
