anyone hear the levinson 436's or 432 yet


Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the levinson 436's or 432 amps.

I love my 436's also...However the things get awful hot though...one of mine will go into thermal protection if I really get the system going. There is suppossed to be a fix for this that the dealer can do but I don't trust my dealer to do it. so I'd have to send it to Madrigal to get done & I just haven't had the time to do it. I think its some kind of modification to the fan or something...anyone know about this? Also, how has your follow up been with you dealer after you bought your equipment? Mine stinks,
they never know about updates or anything. I've purchased quite a bit of Madrigal gear from my dealer including the 436's a No.40 & revel speakers...
i have just auditioned both today. the 436 is by far more superior. more focus and detail. very impactful and you can feel the emotion of the music. bass is solid and stylish. midrange is warm and high end is effortless.
just interested to know how other people compare the 436 with 33H. i audition the 436/432 today using amati. i also audition B&W N800 seperately today. I like N800 better than the Amati.but am interested to know is it a good match between 436 and B&W N800. And if 33H will drive better N800 even better?
My Levinson 46's have never really heated up on me. If heat is an
issue, you'll find that many amplifiers in their category run much
hotter than they.
