Amps that can Rival A Levinson No. 332 around 3K?

Hi there I just got a great deal on a Mark Levinson 332 and turned it over to a friend of mine who is also my tech buddy who lets me use his store to test gear and hotrods speakers for me.

Anyway longstory short... It looks like hes getting the amp, I was absolutely FLOORED BY THE EVRYTHING!! It blew away most everything I'd heard above low level listening. My buddy Of course is taking it and I cant get it back and be a friend hes WAY TO STOKED! Its clean

Anyway what out there can compare in that range or better it, Besides maybe a 333, 335 or 336?

I only care about music, I listen mostly to rock, reggae, rap, All the stuff you need awesome Solid State Power for!

I'd endorse Pass amps as well since I listen to similar music. I haven't heard the Levinson amps recently, but I am now using a XA30.5 with Zu Druids/JL subs and achieving great synergy. Before the XA30.5 I had the Pass Aleph 5 for about 9 years without feeling the need to upgrade. The only caveat is your choice of speakers since these amps are not as powerful as the Levinsons. The newer Pass amps, the older Aleph series or First Watt amps should be great alternatives.

You can pick up an X-250 under 3k and I would take that over a 332. I think Pass looks better sounds better and last but not least great customer service.
