| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Start with the room. You could spend big bucks on the system and still be unhappy if you do not start with the listening space. Then, pick speakers that fit the room and then the components and wires. | |
| Is my amp good enough? Survey says.......Your amp is good enough. Yet, like others say, listen until the new speakers are broken in well. Then, consider the plethora of better amps out there. Upgrading is part of our fun is this hobby. | |
| Need a new integrated, what say you? Hegel. It ain't pretty sitting on my rack, but it will push my Maggies without strain. Should be a good match. | |
| Speaker placement Quandary There is lots of good advice here. Corners can make the low end bloom. Go to the corner when you are playing something that has some bass to it. You'll hear it if it's there. Also, try moving your happy seat forward and back a little at a time... | |
| Goodbye Everyone I believe this forum is all about opinions. Everyone has one. This is where you can bring a problem to many audiophile minds. So you can expect many types of answers. Rudeness is not wanted or needed. Best wishes, Elliot. | |
| A very weird (to me) issue with an Audible Illusions Modulus L2B ... The modern owners manual is now online. Rarely get a decent one included. | |
| magnepan Magnepan has long been considered a "best in price range" speaker. What with the Covid years of people not wanting to work and lots of people buying audio gear they simply cannot keep up with orders. Or service. Tough problem to have. | |
| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... You know it ain't over till it's over. It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's something else. [Rosanne Rosanna Danna] | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? Whenever anyone takes a look at my setup [Thorens] they aske to hear some vinyl and I am happy for the interest. I stream 90% of the time, but I do enjoy the old-fashioned stuff too. | |
| Steely Dan UHQR Far be it from me to spend $150 on a record. That said, I love Steely Dan. | |

| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds Class A will usually have a warmer sound signature. My Hegel H390 has a somewhat warm yet nicely articulated sound. I like it paired with my Maggie 3.7's. And yes, class A runs much hotter and takes more juice, even when it's not making music. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! I consider my Maggie 3.7's to be endgame. But whenever I go to Axpona, there is always another one that trips my trigger. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I am pretty sure that a lot us us who at retirement age simply cannot tolerate extremely loud rooms [tinnitus related]. So anything at high decibels blurs SQ. The louder it gets, the more problems the room will face. And the less I appreciate it. | |
| Finally arrived !! @Ronboco. See, there's usually a wise guy somewhere. |
