The Mark Levinson ML-2 are American monoblock power amplifiers that have become legendary in the world of high-end audio since their introduction in the late 1970s. They are still considered a benchmark in pure Class A philosophy and uncompromising high-end design.

Each unit delivers 25 watts continuous into 8 ohms entirely in Class A, with a real and measurable ability to double the power as impedance halves, reaching 50 watts into 4 ohms and up to 100 watts into 2 ohms—a performance that many amplifiers claim but few can actually sustain under real operating conditions.

This characteristic has made them famous for their extraordinary ability to drive particularly challenging speakers and complex loads, including renowned electrostatics and notoriously demanding systems, always maintaining control, stability, and a high level of tonal coherence even at low impedances.

The design deliberately abandons any compromise in energy efficiency, favoring absolute signal quality and constant circuit biasing, a choice that results in significant heat dissipation—a feature that has become one of the model’s iconic and distinctive traits over time.

The sound performance is authoritative, natural, and precise, with the ability to reproduce dynamics, micro-detail, and musical articulation without ever sounding harsh or artificial, qualities that contribute to the legendary reputation of these monoblocks.

The ML-2 features balanced XLR and Camac inputs, typical of the era and consistent with Mark Levinson’s rigorous and professional technical approach in designing his electronics.

Designed to last over time, they remain perfectly relevant today for those seeking a truly high-end listening experience.
