anyone know actual output of mark levinson 27.5?

I know someone that was running the 27 with Nautilus 801's...he said he didn't know what he was missing until he switched to the 336. I would say that the 23 or 23.5 might be a better choice without haivng to spend the big $$$.

just my 2c

The 27.5 is an excellent amp, but for speakers requiring
lots of current (like my Magnepans) the 27.5 can seem
anemic. I sold it and got a 335 (500 W/chan @ 4 ohms) and
the dynamics were greatly improved. I agree with Ellery,
spend a little more and get the 23.5

The small CDM series much better-off with 200Wpc at least.
N801 wants at least double otherwise you're wasting whatever this speaker can do...

I have owned both 27.5 and 332. I would say that the 332 is much better 27.5. I modified the 27.5 then the sound is acceptible with transparent of sound. Without modification the sound was poor! (I means the origional 27.5 having cloudy sound.

I don't agree with above negative comments regarding ML 27.5
I own the unit from new and i love the sound ,look ,feel and build quality of the product.Then again it is to be expected from Madrigal . its pushing 100 w per channel dual mono high current design ,best parts,made for life.
i wouldn't sell mine and as the matter of fact i am looking for a second one in fine condition so i can bi-amp.
i do own tube gear too.i enjoy both worlds.
no ML 27.5 is a keeper for me.sure there are more expensive amps ,but in realistic terms the 27.5 is superfine
it was rated class A in stereophile in its day.

happy listening
