ML 335 vrs ML 336


Need your best thoughts on possibly upgrading to a Levinson 336. presently have a 335. Wadia 860x up front playing through KEF Ref 3/2's . After upgrading from my old 331 there was a very noticeable improvement. Bass, especialy,seemed drop half an octave. Would I get a "worthwhile" or justafiable pop with a 336, or am I pretty much "Amped out" for this system ?(TaraLabs The One throughout and ded.20a lines)Thank you in advance for your advice. Jimbo

I own a 335, and I doubt the move to a 336 will provide
a significant improvement. They are supposedly similar
in sound, with just greater output for the 336. It means
going from 250 W/Chan to 350 W/Chan @ 8 ohms. Thats only
about a 2dB increase. Unless you listen at earsplitting
levels, it probably won't matter, and you can do better
putting the money elsewhere.
I initially had a 335 in my place and then brought in a 336, believe it or not, there was a difference in dynamics. The 336 allowed my Wilsons to open up a bit more. I also found that the sound was much fuller at low volumes..

Just my opinion...Matt
