Mark Levinson 23.5 or 336?

I just purchased a ML334 demo amp, the 125 watt version of the 336. It is replacing a ML27.5. The 27.5 is an excellent amp, but the 334 has much tighter bass control and better imaging without messing up the mids and highs. It is a very smooth and powerful amp. The new amps are true voltage sources and incoporate some of the reference series amp items, like cyanate ester circuit boards only found in the Levinson "S" seris equipment. These are essentially "S" series amps (check out the website for more tech stuff). So I think it is worth the extra money, although the change you may hear is dependent on your sytem. Just as a caution the 336 is capable of over 25 amps of current into 4 ohm speakers at 120v. Good luck!

I am also thinking of buying a 334 for my Revel Studio. My room is medium. Is it power enough? thanks,

I am driving Audio Physics Avanti Centuries. They are 4 ohm speakers, with a medium room, high cellings and it is plenty of power. I don't think I hve ever had my 380 pre-amp above 65, but I don't know how power hungry Revel's are.
