Boulder amps v,s Levinson amps

Ask Hifi Knopf in Düsseldorf. He carries Boulder and a lot of other exotic stuff. To him Boulder produces by far the best amps money can buy.

Hi,I have compared these two Amps and the Boulder is definately a cut above the ML336,the bass on the Boulder is very sharp and defined and also the Boulder is more transparent.The Levinson 336 has a very powerfull sound but is also very unreliable,surge resistors can blow at power up.

Anybody who is up to buying a Boulder power amp must be aware that boulders are not speaker friendly amps. A friend who has boulder 2010/1050 combination had to buy Mcintosh mc 275/Leben for Kharma speakers(the one second most expensive in reference range.)

Rubbish. I've run Boulder 1050s with my Kharma speakers for a few years and moved up to the 2060 about 3 years ago. One Boulder-Kharma combination is one if the most neutral and transparent pairing you can get today. Your friend probably had a problem specific to him/his ears.

The link of friends setup. Being most neutral and transparent pairing will not guarantee musical satisfaction. This guy has replaced grand utopia with Kharma Exquisite Midi. I can't agree with you. Someone who claims kharma plus Boulder equals sonic heaven has some serious problem in hearing and analyzing what heard. Sorry.
