Mark Levinson No.333 power amplifier

If I’ve read it once in mainstream audio magazines, I’ve read it a hundred times: “The most important component in a system is the loudspeaker, because it is the loudspeaker that makes the sound.” Putting aside the obvious illogic of this statement—that without other components in the playback chain, even the perfect loudspeaker can’t make a sound—my experience is that it just is not so. Yes, it is true that changing from one loudspeaker to another makes the greatest overt changes in a system’s sound.
