I have a set of Klipschorns that I listen to two channel on. I have had them for about ten years. Every other speaker I have listened to has sounded dull and lifeless compared to them. I recently aquired another set of speakers and placed them in the room with the Klipschorns. It is a large room 20x28 and both sets are at the front with the Klipschorns in the corners. The other speakers were about twelve feet apart on the front wall. As I expected they sounded dull and lifeless. One day I was working on the room and let them play as I was busy.

Does a component's industrial design matter to you? How much?

In a blog comment, reader Henry writes "I won't buy a component that does not look right . . . . It needs to have a look like someone cared deeply about the appearance of the thing as a function of performance." <P> Does a component's industrial design matter to you? How much?

Mark Levinson ML-7A preamplifier Specifications

Mark Levinson ML-7A preamplifier Specifications

Before launching into <I>Stereophile</I>'s first-ever report on a Mark Levinson product, an important point needs to be clarified. Although Mark Levinson products were originally made by Mark Levinson, they are no longer. <I>Au contraire</I>, Mark Levinson products are now being made by Madrigal, Ltd., which bought Mark Levinson Audio Systems' assets and trademark two years ago. Mark Levinson's products, as distinguished from Mark Levinson products, are now being manufactured by a company called Cello. But the subject of this report, the Mark Levinson ML-7A preamplifier, is a product of Madrigal, Ltd., not of Cello. Now that I've made that all perfectly clear, we may proceed.
