| OK to use curtain to obtain the optimum room size? if the curtain is out, how about a solid sliding door? How solid or thick the wall has to be? | |
| Has anyone tried SET tubes amps with maggie 1.6's SET and Maggies1.6 may be a bit too compromised (I was somewhat happy witht my 7W SET with Maggies 1.6s though).If I still own the 1.6s, my first choice is probably a good tube amp. One Cary Rocket 88 (20W?) reviewer was very happy with the amp dr... | |
| Best Small Efficient Speaker for Office or Sm Room second the Axiom M22Ti. I have been very happy with them driven by both a flea power zen amp and 300B tubes SET amp. Only missing is the bottom end.Ake | |
| odyssey amp's how do they compare to others soundstage review choice award should tell something:http://odysseyaudio.com/review_soundstage.htmlI was a happy stratos owner (with maggies 1.6s) until I went back to a SET route. Definitely nothing wrong with the amp.Klaus himself is great perso... | |
| Here's how a CD copy of a copy can sound better "If done correctly digital copies can sound better than the original. If done incorrectly digiatl copies can sound worse than the original."Could someone elaborate this statement? Frankly I still don't understand how one can get a copied CD that s... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply SE-1.... It will be 7W with 300B tubes. For 5W (2A3 tube?) you could get about 96-97 dB (90+6,7) with 90 dB at 8 ohm/1 W rating. I even used it to drive Maggies (83 dB) at good result (not very lound though)Ake | |
| Tube Preamp for Odyssey Stratos Dual Mono? I have used the Audio Electronic Supply AE-3 tube pre with the stratos driving Maggies 1.6s with a wonderful result.Ake | |
| 123 Reviews All 5"s For Odyssey I am using the stratos with cap upgraded on the Maggies 1.6QR with superp result. Best bang for the buck for this amp.I have no problem recommend anyone who wants SS amp to at least listen to it before making a final decision.Asides the product, K... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Aball, the reason I suggested the blind test is that there are no bias during the test and the result should be nutral. Personally, I do not oppose burning in stuffs as I believe in it too. Just try to give some solutions that should be universall... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction It should be failry easy to test this hypothesis. All we need is just a blind test of the same equiptments with diffrence burn-in time (may be 5 of them: brand new, 10, 50, 100 and 500 hours burn-in time?). Actually, I wonder why those audio magaz... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Just out of the curiosity.. how would you apply the "Social psychological phenomenon called positive test bias" to explain the difference between hearing "no (or less) detail" before burning in and "much more detail" after burning in?I bet that ps... | |
| Why do Maggies need a lot of power? Actually I tend to listen to average level. I barely listen to anything at 100dB and over (average level). It's just too loud for me to listen comfortably for a long session (I think I still need good ears for quite some time before I don't need t... | |
| Why do Maggies need a lot of power? when we say that the maggies open up and bass extend at high power, how loud are we talking about, over 100 dB at 1 meter?Ake | |
| BAT VK-200 or Odyssey Stratos for Magiess 1.6s? Yes, I would love to hear alternatives as well, especially tube amp (1.5K range) that can drive Maggies.Thanks a lotAke | |
| 300B Amps For what it's worth, I am driving my maggies 1.6 with the AES SE-1 SET amp (300b, 7W) with a pleasing result. My room is small though (13'x15')Ake |
