Conceived as a less-expensive companion brand to Mark Levinson, Proceed products were introduced by Madrigal in 1989, often as a way of testing the market for new technologies and designs. Some of the earliest ultra-high-end digital processors disc transports, and surround-sound decoders from Madrigal were Proceed products.

　Madrigal stopped producing Proceed in 2004 as it was considered a mini Mark Levinson to most of the industry and customers therefore the decision was taken that the AVP2, HPA2, and HPA3 where going to be rebadged and Mark Levinson product and the rest of the ranged would be dropped and re-designed under the Mark Levinson brand.

　Unfortunately this did not happen with the close of Madrigal in 2004 this plan was dropped and a totally new Mark Levinson would be designed.
