Very good catch and that would line up with my observations about both the 326s and the 32 is that they both hold on to a little bit of the older Mark Levinson sound which at times tended to be slightly dark. Probably darker in the 326s than the 32. The 52 is nothing like that and definitely set a new direction for the brand which I think(my opinion only) is a better overall direction but I understand not all Levinson fans will agree as this is very subjective.
