| After Several Years, Time to Upgrade: Your Suggestions I would sell the Peachtree and the Paradigm speakers.I would replace them with a high quality integrated ss amp, a Bifrost DAC and Magnepan 1.7 speakers or Vandersteen 2CE Sigs. I would keep the Vandy sub and crossover.The 1.7's would really sound... | |
| Docking station for an iphone Yes but there is an adapter for the lightning connection of the later versions of the iphone. I use this and it works fine. I have my I20 running out to a Bifrost Uber extrenal DAC. Sound fantastic! | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? 213runnin, sounds like you've made some great changes. I was surprised how much I liked the Parasound equipment. I think John Curl is one of the best audio engineers. Enjoy | |
| Magnepan 1.7i - Is a Luxman 505UX good enough My opinion is that the 1.7i will sound very good, but not optimal. I think you need lots of current. I would look for a dual-mono amp.That usually means more $$. But I have heard that 1.7's sound best with the powerful amps. | |
| What's Up with Magnapan at Shows? Magnepan is one of those companies that make a product that people either Iuv or hate.I have the MMGs and about half the people who have listened to them in my home have been astonished at the clarity of the sound. For some who don't think they ha... | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? I had a boutique amp and preamp for which I saved all my pennies to get. I really had a big desire for this sought after combo. When I finally got it I had problems with noise and after many, many months sold the gear. I had an older Parasound 5 c... | |

| Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k I would look into a Pure I-20 dock for your Iphone. If you get a decent DAC, you will be amazed at the sound you can get. But the DAC inside the Pure is good as well. Go with Tidal or Spotify as a music source, but you can still listen to the musi... | |
| Magnepan MMG........amazing I have them. Great sound. Luv it. Wonderful for vocals and jazz. Yeah for the price. TREMENDOUS. I would like to get 1.7i or 3.7i. You need alot of power and current to get the best sound IMHO. | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? I would get Magnepan 3.7i and the best tight subwoofers and crossover I could find. Maybe twin server subs like REL or GR research. I would have lots of money left over.Also I really like the Volti Audio Vittora 5 piece speaker system with a tube ... |
