| OK, Monitor Audio RX6 or Tannoy XT6F williwonka, thank you too! Never heard Pro-Ac speakers in person but as many others I have read the laudatory reviews of them. I am scanning A'Gon daily for a good deal on used.... | |
| OK, Monitor Audio RX6 or Tannoy XT6F Thanks for the input Tom. Living in rural upstate, NY doesn't lend itself to much in person auditioning. Thnank goodness for audiogon and it's members... | |
| MMGs Just my 2 cents. I've owned 2 pair of MMG's, 1.6's and most recently .7's (my faves). I've paired all with many different amps with various levels of results. Typically, typically the more clean current the better the sound. I drove the MMG's with... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? Second the Speltz anti-cables. Because I got fine sound for a whole lot less $$. | |
| Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed! gdnrbob gave great advice and I concur. I have owned the LS50's, IMHO great with acoustic music. Not as good with amplified music like blues which I like. Anyway, start with the speakers that appeal to your listening tastes then find the best part... | |
| 10" subwoofer around $500, used or new? Check out Speedwoofer.. They have an excellent sub @ $399.00 shipped that is incredible. I purchased one for my Magnepan .7's and was more than impressed. I plan on purchasing a second. Their customer service is outstanding, I talked to the owner ... | |
| New to forum and Vinyl First, have some fun. Loved the older Marantz gear and owned much of it. For the TT, I'd suggest checking out the U-Turn stuff. I just ordered their top end player w/ walnut plinth and am quite happy. Good choice if manual works for you. Secondly,... | |
| Building an all analog system around Magnepan .7 for 4K and under "maggies"... | |
| Building an all analog system around Magnepan .7 for 4K and under I own .7's and have experience with the amps mentioned. The NAD was "dark" sounding to me and honestly, I hated the NAD look. The Rogue was better and had a nice phono section as well. I stepped up to a Wyred4Sound SSi 500 and that was it. The jag... | |
| Help with speakers issues part III Point well taken lak. My understanding is that Maggies are more "room sensitive" than conventional style speakers and I may be doing the "square peg in a round hole thing". In essence shoe-horning the maggies in a situation where they can't blosso... | |
| Help with speakers issues part III Correct, they sit at either end of my small entertainment center. Because of room configuration, I have them placed at the only semi- logical position. My listening seat is approx. 10' from the speaker plane. I've been told that any "obstruction" ... | |
| Help with speakers issues part III It's a modest piece of furniture. My studio type apt. is approx. 25' x 30'. | |
| Help with speakers issues part III It's a studio apt. I have no choice with the entertainment center in between the speakers. My understanding is that the Maggies image much better without anything in between the speakers. | |
| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: I will admit at 56 years of age to listening most of those in my more melancholy moods. Seal and Croft was big in my teen years, early Bee Gees I liked until disco entered the scene. Davis Gates had a wonderful voice. Did't do much Fogelberg. The ... | |
| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound Ver interesting. I am a former La Scala owner and currently own Magnepan .7's with subwoofer reinforcement. Actually, I had toyed with the idea of trying the Heresy III's recently for similar reasons as you. I listen to a lot of electric blues and... |
