Just for the record, anyone looking to buy Levinson stuff, don't let the
price tag scare you. I bought my 331 and 380 last year for about 2 times
the amount I wanted to spend on my entire system and I'll tell you, it
is hands down the best pair I have ever run. It's worth the extra money.
One thing to keep in mind (that I was completely oblivious to) speaker
cables make the difference. I never knew how much cables can alter your
sound. Check out Kimber Kable BiFocal XL. That's my $0.02... -Nate
