Re: Maggie bass 'slam' (or lack thereof)?

Hey-
The Levinson amps (I've had a 331 and have a 332) are pretty
clean, approaching "bright", but have the best control over my 3.5R's I've heard. The 332 is in the "un-upgraded" version, before the Cyano-something-esterate-or-other circuit boards, and other upgrades ton bring it up to current 335 circuitry. The upgrade tames the brightness, but at $2K for a 1+ year old amp, I think I'll give my business to someone who gives a shit.


Anyway,

Yes, with the wrong source material and all Levinson components,
The Maggies can tear a head clean off, and leave it wanting much more
bass impact. Best to restore the head onto its according body, preferably in the sweet spot, lest imaging be totally screwed up. Or!
Make an actual "head in the vise" device on the stereo chair, and leave your body to do productive things like the laundry so your wife won't yell at you. Scratch that, you have to change albums.

Happy Listening
Scott
