Who heard the Mark levinson 53 monos?

Who has heard the big levinson (class D monos) and how do they sound compared to the other great contenders , Levinson stands for absolute high end for me ,although it seems not be in the picture on the web a lot .
Levinson was my atraction into high end , the set up of 390 s , ml 32 , 432 and avalon eidolon was an eyeopener of high end sound to me , a warm /dark seductive sound i dont know if i am happier with the krells actually ,i moved appartments during the amp change so comparing is hard , i might buy back some 436 monos some day.

you would think SOMEONE- even audio dealers- would come forward and give their impressions of these amplifiers by now- they've been out for over two years already.
the guy on hometheater (the only review on the net) can have his billy joel records (which should sound good on a 20 year old pioneer receiver)- can't people who are familiar with flagship amps from rowland/levinson/pass/etc.
spare a few sentences about the new amplifiers? please and thank you.

I have not heard the 53 monos but I did get to hear the earlier version. Best solid state monoblocks I have ever heard. I have since largely made the transition to tubes, but if I were going to do SS again, the amp that would tempt me the most is the current top of the line Musical Fidelity (Pure) Class A at 50 watts a side. Awesome amplifier!

Now that I have put a tiny crack in the proverbial ice to this thread, maybe someone else with more relevant knowledge and comments will chime in.

Good luck!
