Mark Levinson ML436

Hi All,

Has anyone use a pair of ML 436 with Parasound JC2 preamp?
I believe John Curr designed the Mark Levinson JC2 in the old day. Hence, I guess the ML 436 may be a good match with the Parasound JC2. I'm running them with Kef 205/2.
Do you have any recommendation on other power amps (monos) which may run well with the Parasound JC2?
I like the tube warm like sound but don't want to down the tube path!

Thank you all

I owned the ML436 mono blocks for many years. They have the classic Mark Levinson house sound. Presuming you like sonics, the only concern about Levinson is service. They no longer do repairs in house. Search Audiogon and other blogs and you will find a few troubling stories. Not to say this happens to everyone, but I think this has happened enough to warrant concern.
