@tomavodka Magnepan is now the lead vote-getter. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have the proper room set up for them. Speakers are limited to about 2-3 feet from the back wall at most and most of that back wall consists of HUGE 15 foot windows. I ...

@avanti1960 Hi thx. So I originally started out with an amp in mind and posted such and got slammed and was told to pick the best speakers for your budget and room, and that the amp, less of a contribution to overall sound, would limit speaker cho...

@cleeds its literally right on the website in the history section. I cant cut and paste from my cellphone.. Anyway I'm interested in what you found to be the differences? Thx in advance.

@chakster I'm not into power cord upgrades but I'll call Rega anyway tomorrow. Their stand alone PSU is pretty impressive but I'm sure they will tell me not to waste my money.   Our first agreement and its on wasteful tweaks ! Btw, if you have a 3...

@twoleftears Wow those are the most beautiful speakers I have ever seen!  A little out of my price range even with a discount, but will keep in mind in case I see a demo or used.  Thx

@djones51Yep. The Revel Salon 2 supposedly beats out every speaker time amd time again in blind tests at John Scheurmann's The Screening Room in Colorado.

As the 3 day holiday weekend here in the US closes out (beautiful weather here in the northeast), I’m spending some time setting up an excel spreadsheet on the various recommendations and where I can hear them. So far I’ve tallied 29 different spe...

@cleeds Ok I'm learning. :) Their own website refers to them as electrostatics but a diff magnet technology. Regardless, they are often compared and contrasted to ML and Soundlab.  So have you listened to compare?

Has anyone compared Magnepan to Martin Logan? Both electrostatic dipole panels but ML took the hybrid approach and uses a traditional box subwoofer for the bass.  On Magnepans website they take an indirect shot at ML basically saying they could ha...

@sunkenpirate.  I heard the Martin Logans are harder to drive so don't work well with Tubes for example and they also sell them at Bestbuy which gives me pause- maybe it shouldn't but it does.

Wow what a deluge of recommendations overnight! So overwhelmed. I’d love to hear all of them in my house in a blind listening session but thats obviously impossible!I will include panels - a dealer I’ve purchased from in the past wants me to buy M...

@psag Definitely would have to audition those speakers, some so-so reviews online. I guess it depends how you define imaging. Your definition must be different than mine which is ok. All good.

@mribob Thx. List is 25,500, a littl3 over where i want to be. @bubba12 I had a long demo on Exotica3.  They look nice, well constructed, just didn't have any connection. I'd really like to hear the SS9.5s but there are no owners near me and I liv...
