| Happiness is... Sounds like I am not the only one with a loose screw. (I feel better now). | |
| Battle of the affordables Take consideration on your room size. The SVS and Mofi's are big, and might overload a smaller room. But they DO seem like a bargain. | |
| Need help matching speakers with amplifer Yamaha makes some great integrateds under $1000. Sold everywhere. No doubt that at least one will work with those speakers. | |
| Are you operating in the correct SPL window for high-fidelity listening? I am not that Scientific about it. In my 15X19 room, as the SPL goes up, the room eventually takes over and it's not good at all. So I like it loud enough to hear everything I want without having the room affect it. | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? Here are a few new [to me] bands who made my Qobuz favorites list. Iron city houserockers, is, by My morning jacket, anything by Chris Cornell . | |
| Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap I'm with Hilde. Close your eyes, maybe a touch of bourbon or whatever. 70% of the time, it works everytime. | |

| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Bass overhang kills what most of us want out of our systems. OK for home theater, but not what you want for your music experience. | |
| Critical listening and altered states @bigtwin Spot on. 80% of the time, it works every time. | |
| Magnapan 35r and Hegel C55 Amp I have the Maggie 3.7's and use the Hegel H360 integrated. 420w @4 ohms. I can tell you that you will max out the speakers before maxing out the amp. Most Maggie owners will get what they want out of them at medium SPL's, so you've nothing to w... |
