has anyone else compared this amp? or these two amps and with problems with levinson i don't know if i want one? I am looking maybe to buy one and would like any input on the .432 thanks
Owned a new 432 for 2 months following my awesome #336. DID not like it at all!!! Krell's FPB700cx totally demolished the 432 in my system (ML380S, 390S, B&W Nautilus 802's, Valhalla cables). Was so impressed by the Krell amp that I've upgraded my front-end to a Krell KPS25sc with Siltech CAST cables.
I've heard the 432 and 336 side by side for extended periods. The 336 is head and shoulders above the 432 in almost every sonic category. In my opinion, the 4 series amps are simply a Proceed amp with a Levinson faceplate; hence the much lower price compared to the 3 series amps. Anyone noticed how similar the interior of the 4 series amps are compared to the Proceed; the exterior as well? Believe me, the 4 series amps sound like the Proceeds as well. For theater - great; for the discerning two - channel enthusiast - avoid the 4 series at all costs.
