Mark Levinson 26 pre amp

A1126lin: You don't want a 20.0, or a 20.6. You want a pair of 20.5's.

The 23.5 has XLR's and Camac/RCA (the Camacs were replaced with RCA's in the later production runs.) It can also be bridged (400W into 8 ohms)

I'd love to have a pair of bridged 23.5's! (To be honest, I've never heard what a bridged 23.5 sounds like -- maybe it sounds crappy!:~)

Also, unlike some amps with fake "balanced" inputs (eg Rowland, Audio Research, ......) the Levinson gear is fully signal-balanced throughout the chain of components -- from the preamp input > output > amplifier.

what's the difference in 20.0 20.5 20.6
i thought the 20.6 would be the latest( greatest?) in that series.

i thought the 20.6 is the lastest in that series, why not the 20.6 if you going in that route?

Re: ML 20.6 amplifier. It is a fully Class A mono amp putting out 100 W. The 20.5 is also a 100 watt unit , but I think it runs Class A-B, like the 23.5.

A really good non-commercial ML website is: www.marklev.com

Get the 26S.
