In what ways is Mark Levinson better than Krell?

Thanks all to the posts - voice of experience no doubt -these are valuable comments for someone like me, just getting into the liquid and transparent league of equipments the world has to offer, which I simply adore. I

I will try to hear 23.5 and 235, and hunt one down on the used market.

Gonglee3,

Are you aware that the 23.5 is a power amp?
Your original post stated you were looking for a integrated amp. Getting one of these amplifiers will mean you will have to buy a preamp.
This will double your cost, at least.
Seperates are the way to go for best sound, (I have seperates myself), but only if you can afford it.

Good Luck!

Why are there so many Krells and Levinsons for sale?
