CES 2015

All the Harman boys were over at the Hard Rock Hotel rather than the official CES sites, but I was able to swing by on my way to the airport to see the new statement amp from Mark Levinson.

The No.536 monophonic power amplifier ($15,000) clearly signals a rebirth of the ML spirit with its black and silver design as well as its impressive engineering and construction. Specified at 400W into 8 ohms and 800W into 4 ohms, this elegant behemoth has a fully discrete class-AB topology with class-A voltage-gain and driver stages. There are no integrated circuits in the circuit path.
