Summary:
I have change my old ml 23 by this ml 332 amp.
In my opinion this amp is neutral it have a nice timbre correct mids and bass.the voices sound very clear.But my old ml 23 is by far. much superior than this 3 series amp.this amp is impersonal there is no emotion on it.The old levinson amp are much more smooth clarity and delicate.the music sound with proyection and naturality.
I have sold it. And change it again by the old real mark levinson amp.27.5

Summary:
The mere fact that the 4-series amps are "voiced" to sound like their forebears will attest to the fact that 7 long audiophile years ago the guys in white coats at Madrigal already got it right. I'm just so glad there are all those wealthy guys out there who can afford to buy these products brand new so guys like me can take them off their hands later. Soundwise, all No.33 series power amps share a common characteristic. Effortless drive. These guys can handle 4 ohm loads at 80db or less and you will still hear every detail and every note. Even at low levels everything remains in scale owing greatly to its inherently low noise floor. It may not be punchy but it excels in overall balance and tonality. Bought used it simply can't be beat. It will outperform ANYTHING under $3000 when used with demanding speaker loads. Bought retail that is another story.

Summary:
Hello friends!!! I recently had the chance to listen to the Mark Levinson 332, a Krell FPB200, and my Exposure 4 which I am considering to upgrade because I need a more powerful amp., and not bec.it didn't sound good. Among the three I rank Krell-FPB200 1st, Exposure 4 2nd and ML332 last of the three. Three of us listened and we all gave the same verdict!!! One of us used to own a ML331. We were all very very disappointed with the 332. Instruments are detailed in 332 but everything was playing so loudly at the same time that you get confused, no focus. There is no emotion and involvement. Sounded cold, as if the performer sings just for the sake of singing. We were just plainly listening. Unlike the Krell200, it really gets you involved and surrounds you with music as if you were a part of it. I liked the looks of the 332 and weight, but I won't buy it. It seems that I will settle for the Krell FPB-200 upgrade. These amps. are all in prime conditions.

Strengths:
power, weight 150lbs, looks impressive, but that's about it! detailed.

Weaknesses:
LOTS:uninvolving, impersonal, flat, emotionless, cold, far,highs and mids are not smooth
