Levinson 436 Versus Krell FPB 350 MCX?

Has anyone auditioned these?

Looking for a compare/contrast.

Nola vipers to replace my B&W 801'sD.

The Krell will give you bass slam like you never heard it before. Its all about Grip. Pedal to the metal and let it rip. It can be a little fatiguing on the ears with long listening sessions. The Levinson are more effortless with a nice midrange. You will not get the slam and the high frequencies tend to be a little soft. To some, they may find this amp to polite. Just my 2 cents.
