| Just bought 2 pairs of ML no. 33 for my Pipedreams Hello Suchart:It seemed to me like the 33's overpowered the mid/tweeters. When I placed the 33H, everything fell into place. Lively, PRAT was right on and not bright. With the 33's on the mid/tweeters, it was a bit dark sounding and closed-in........ | |
| Just bought 2 pairs of ML no. 33 for my Pipedreams I run 33's on the woofers of my Pipedreams, and 33H on the mid/tweeter towers. The 33's were not a good match for the mids/tweeters, it all fell into place with the 33H.Pipes like tubes too. I have a McIntosh MC2000 which also does a nice job on t... | |
| Vandersteen 5A vs Mcintosh XRT28 The Vandies may appear boring however that's because they don't really do anything wrong.The McIntosh titanium dome tweeters have that initial "sizzle" and excitement however after 6-8 months with them you may be longing for the Vandies back as th... | |
| Mark Levinson Where is the Emotion?? I have a full Levinson reference system. This does nothing to draw you in nor to push you away. Many folks find out in the long run equipment that has certain sounding traits that initially thrill can push you away in the long run.My system draws ... | |
| Wadia 7 and Levinson 30.5 vs Todays CD Players I'm still happy with my Levinson 31.5/30.6 combo.I've heard lots of the newer high end digital source equipment. Most just sound different, not necessarily better. Like chocolate and vanilla ice cream...both are good, but different.....to make a c... | |

| ADS/ a/d/s/ BrAun Atelier component repair I don't know who's repairing them however I have a pile of a/d/s/ Atelier pieces I have collected all in fully functional condition. Way too much to list.I have had all the higher-end a/d/s/ speakers and still have:L9eL710L910 w/ads standsL980 w/a... | |
| Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant? Wow, some of youse guys need a time out.When my generation was younger most of the bands and artists that were my favorites were speaking out against the war in Vietnam.Now we have the Vietnam of the new millenium. Thousands of our young folks die... | |
| b.a.t. amps? Analogtroll:The BAT gear will give it's best performance in an all-balanced setup. The single-ended adaptors are nothing more than a convenience band-aid. You are hearing that difference. There is nothing wrong with mixing components, and also not... | |
| Are you at this point?? Nice feeling, isn't it!? Enjoy while it lasts. I feel the same, my main system has been static for 8 months now. After the Pipedreams everything just fell into place.It's possible I may swap some cable in and out, however I'm completely satisfied ... | |
| Do the big Maggies play LOUD I had 3.5r's a while back and although I did like them a lot they just didn't get the levels I wanted, even augmented with subs. Now I'm not your normal human, I want the music to have the live effect. After diddling around for many years I have f... | |
