about mark levinson
Mark Levinson Audio Systems was founded in 1972 by Mark Levinson in Connecticut, built around a single idea: amplification and source components engineered for measured accuracy and long service life rather than fashion. The brand changed hands several times before settling under HARMAN, where it now anchors the HARMAN Luxury Audio Group's reference tier. The current line is led by the No. 600 Series reference monoblock and stereo amplifiers, with the No. 500 Series integrated amps and the No. 5000 Series DACs, streamers, and disc players covering the rest of the catalog. Engineering runs out of HARMAN's Shelton, Connecticut center, and the flagship electronics are designed and assembled in the USA — the heritage that any serious US dealer associates with the brand. In the US high-end market Mark Levinson competes with Boulder, Dan D'Agostino, McIntosh, and Audio Research at the reference solid-state price point. It is sold through HARMAN Luxury Audio's authorized US dealer network and has decades of coverage in Stereophile and The Absolute Sound, where its amplifiers and DACs are recurring review subjects. The brand sits among the most instantly recognized names in American high-end audio. For a dealer floor, it carries name value with serious two-channel buyers who already know the No. 500 and No. 600 designations, and it pairs naturally with reference loudspeakers in the same tier. Production and final assembly of the reference electronics remain in the United States.
