Agreed......I use to have the 20.5's, and loved them to bits.......Ever since Harman International came into the picture sometime in 2002 (I think), it really spelt the beginning of the end for Madrigal Audio Laboratories which eventually came about sometime in mid-2003 (I think) when Madrigal ceased to exist under the Harman International.......I do agree though that other than the 33 & 33H amps, everything else that came out after that, I feel, was pretty disappointing.......Today, over here in Asia, seasoned audiophiles often describe Mark Levinson's recent/current crop of gear as lacking "blood" (a literal translation from Chinese), meaning it sounds way to clinical/sterile without much spark or life.......
