| Speaker cable recommendations with Magnepan .7s I owned the .7's and loved them, just couldn't do them justice in my small place. Anyway, I used the Anti-Cables and found them just fine. I have also used Blue Jean Cables with pleasing results. Personally, I feel that there is a lot of, let's sa... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Enjoying Allman Brothers first album on 180 gram vinyl but cd (digital) vs. analog (vinyl) is still not settled for me... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Let me preface my comments by saying I have owned Triton 7's and 3's. Magnepan MMG's, MG12', 1.6's and most recently .7's (my favorite). Planers and box speakers are apples and oranges in some ways and neither is superior to the other IMHO. First,... | |
| OK, Monitor Audio RX6 or Tannoy XT6F Wow, that's pretty cool. Not a bad little town... | |
| OK, Monitor Audio RX6 or Tannoy XT6F Schubert, you are correct. You forgot to mention the taxes :) I'm in Boonville. All the brick and mortar places anywhere near me (Rome, Utica, Watertown) have folded. So, I rely on advise and internet to do my research these days. Hope it doesn't ... | |
| 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... |
