Can anyone talk about the Levinson 40.

The Media 40 is a culmination of what ML has been doing with these other pieces for years. From the audio end it equal to or better containing much new technology derived from extensive r&d. From the video it is awesome. It is the state of the art piece for both a/v on the market. Anyone touting other gear has not heard or seen this piece.

about the price bend over

Thanks Ksales. So, I believe you are saying that you think the #40 is equal to the Levinson audio reference pieces (#32 preamp and #30.6 digital audio processor). There are really has no Levinson video pieces from which to draw a conclusion. Am I correct in your meaning? Would Levinson agree? Would seem to work against their reference customers to now say that the # 40 is better and I believe they have NOT designated the # 40 as a refernece piece.

Well, Levinson themselves states that it is not equally good
as the No 32 + No 30.6 combo. Instead it is an all in one
box solution of almost the same quality with added video
capability of the highest quality.
