Nothing much, really. We're pretty much in agreement that a
solid amplifier anchors a quality system. Here we are in that
old "apples & oranges" zone again. Play any of them through
a sub-standard pair of cones, and you'll just get higher quality
rattle & hum. Still, can't argue with the logic & reality present
in the issue of amp efficiency & clarity. I've always liked the
automobile analogy; if you buy a Hyundai, you're definitely
going to notice the step up when you get behind the wheel of
that Lexus. And when you finally sit down in the back seat
of the Rolls, well...
Yes, I'd much rather listen to the Levinson... =)
