 Thank you!
Actually the true gem are those Sequerra tweeters! Dick Sequerra, in phone conversation last year requested pictures for his files, regaled the story of his designing-building them. His further request is that should I ever sell them they are to be his again.
The ML-9 is of course a good amplifier. They do as all the first three ML amplifier models exhibit the notorious ¨Levinson¨ upper mid-range suck out sound.
That was the signature sound that first time listeners took to be deep detail.  The upper end is as reviewers and other owners wax romantic about; very very accurate. Bass also.
Thanks, again.

 Well, of course in their debuting day the ¨desired and imprimatur blessed¨ speakers were either stacked Dalquist arrays + 24 inch Hartley sub-woofers  or stacked quads of Dayton Wright ESL´s + afore mentioned sub-woofer  system.
It needn't take a special savant minds' ear to guess that those speakers had precisely the sonic characteristics of upper mid-range glare that the ML-2, 3, 9 ever so gallantly suppressed. Thus for those with the wallet depth all was Nirvana, relatively speaking.  I will say as well that my ML-9 has never failed to be less than engaging even used used full range .
