I own Studios, and have since 2001 or so (with a short break in 2003). I've spent a lot of time listening to Revels with various amps, and have heard them with a wide variety of Madrigal gear (Proceed AMP5, ML 336,33H,33,43x), Krell (from the integrated up to the latest FPB), Aragon, Music Reference, Linn, and most recently, Lamm. I use the Lamm M2.1s (200wpc hybrid monos) on my Studios now, and they are by far the best I've heard. As long as I'm using a non-SET friendly speaker, my amplifier of choice will be the hybrid Lamms.
The Levinson 33h? Pros and cons?
I was wondering how the 33h holds up against the competition?
I am considering purchasing a pair, but am unsure if they will meet the demands of my Revel Salons. I believe that the 33h will in fact sound better than the Levinson 436 series (they are Levinson's current Reference since the 33s were discontinued), but I'm biamping (maybe triamping if you count the pair of Revel Sub 30s I'm using also)and with the double pair of 436s I never run out of power. There is no current way for me to hear a pair of 33hs in my system or for that matter for me to hear a pair thus the deleimma. See my system for more info.
