The Red Dragon Leviathan Signature monoblocks represent a praiseworthy first effort from Ryan Tews. The Leviathans offer enormous power and solid value for money, though they face stiff competition from better-established players such as the $3995, 300Wpc, Audio Research 300.2. Nevertheless, the Red Dragons command respect, not just because they?re powerful, but also because their smoothness, warmth, and dynamic ease give listeners the priceless gift of relaxation.
