Levinson 333 Upgrad to 436 Monoblock


Guys,

I have a dilemma, my system comprise of

- Levinson 380s
- Levinson 360s
- Levinson 37
- Levinson 333
- Speakers are Totem “The One” Limited

- I’m contemplating on upgrading the 333 to 436 Monos, where I’ve got a trade up deal from a local HIFI store for a pair of used 436

- Considering my speakers & room size, 436 is a complete overkill (Even 333 can be seen as such)
- The trade value I’ve got is approx 57% (Of the 436 pair) for my 333 and I will have to pay the remaining 43% IN cash.

Arguments for moving forward:
- New technology, extended life time and their wiliness for a trade in at an OK ratio

Arguments against:
- Its such an over kill I wont feel much difference for my Totems

Please let me have your thoughts

Thanks in advance,

Kris

Of course, overkill. But if you would like to save the world by buying something and make money run the world - that s fine. Even better to buy into new green technology, like class-d amp. But if you are not happy with the sound at home, you maybe better off to spend money on new speakers.
IMO ,I agree with Cpk the 436 is a better sounding amp..My question is have you ever considered moving away from Levinson as there are much better gear out there with better build quality,performance and service.Just a thought.
I would think the performance gain from upgrading your amps would be less than if you traded the 380S for a 326S preamp. Something to consider.
Go for it! If you decide to upgrade to a larger speaker in the future you know that you will not have to worry about enough power to drive them.
