That's a lot of cash. I would confirm new price. Did not think they cost R100k

Nope!! :'(  But I did read all the reviews, about 2 pages in some Audio Magizine I bought at the Duty Free in the beginning of this year. ;D They reccon it's one of the best amplifiers around.

It sure looks like a Monster, I would love to own this amp ;D

Fark me. That's a lot of bread. I was figuring around R45 000 new.

Just checked the US price and it's just over $7K. R100K in SA seems steep.

You must be suffering for amplifier schizophrenia - first you fall in love with the Modwirght and want to ditch the VA mono blocks. Then you post that it is a Levinson 432 your heart desires only to dump her for a NZ beauty.

Start the cycle again. Sell all you have and get the following - all used:

Baby Rotel amp, Yammie CD player, KEF standmounts and Cable Talk wires.

Ag, thats less than 100% mark-up. Pretty good compared to many others. Take Oppo as an example. ;)
