| What do audiophiles listen in their cars? Schubert, I attempt to look at it as free driving lessons. Still, after about 8 hours of free driving lessons it can get old. Being the clever fellow that I am, I have instituted the following rule. "Whoever drives picks the music."So when the adv... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Frogman, I love deep thinkers. As usual, you comments are golden, and you articulated well my thoughts on the violin problem. To answer your question, no, I had not thought about a pair of MMG's. I've heard them, and they are great for the money. ... | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? I think there is some pretty good advice given above.1) Consider loosing the Krell stuff2) Use the Wilsons in a long wall set up3) Consider Sasha/Sophia III's4) The Maggie suggestion was interesting. I'm a Maggie guy, but I really liked the Sophia... | |
| shipping boxes for heavy electronics Elizazbeth is correct. Multiple boxes, plenty of thick foam. I just shipped out my old Carys with the original packing, which included very thick foam, and 3 (yes 3!) strong thick cardboard boxes. However, I have heard that FedEX an UPS can refuse... | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 Jwm, I will be wanting to hear from you as your 105 breaks in. I plan to go for the 105 if it is indeed a substantial upgrade over the ModWright Sony. | |
| Tube pre, SS amp incompatibility, which amp 2 use? When you say it wouldn't work, can you be more specific? I agree with Zd, I would have thought it would "work" with just about anything. Now I can imagine that it might not be an ideal match with this or that preamp, but to not "work" at all seems... | |
| Input requested on 3 options for listening room Recroom,My room is 15.5 x 19 x 8. The 3.7's work better in the room than the 1.6's I had before them. I wouldn't rule them out. By the way, If you liked the Maggies I can't imagine that you are going to like C1s. But It never hurts to listen. | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Learsfool, its been ages since I heard the Cornwalls. I did not like them with orchestral music, but as a speaker for chamber music they might be worth a listen.Whart- I really do like the Quad suggestion. As you point out, they are legendary for ... | |
| Old vs New Magnepan 1.7 vs Tympani IV tympanis in a heartbeat! | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Onhywy and Mapman, The room is 19 ft long, with the Maggies out 60" from the back(short)wall. My listening position is back as far as I can go, which means I'm about 12' from the speakers. I have Smith's book and found it useful. Interesting point... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Rok2id, I do have a few that I'm sure won't get much playing time with headphones. The headphones solves another problem too, which is early morning listening. My wife goes to bed at about 3 AM and I get up at 5. When I retire, the headphones will... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? More good stuff! I have wondered about the Totem Manis. I should put them on my list of speakers to hear. I also like the headphone idea. That might give me a good option for chamber works while allowing me to continue upgrading the Maggie based s... | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Lots of good comments here. Nonoise-The next round of auditioning will focus on chamber music. When I bought my Maggies, I used orchestral, choral, piano, chamber, every type I have, in order to get the best general purpose speaker. As far as reco... | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs Goofyfoot, No, I have not. Is that a recommendation or a request for information? | |
| Need a system for Chamber music--ideas? Frogman, Thanks. I knew I was asking for a lot, but I thought taking faithful reproduction of Mahler out of the picture might simplify things, though doing the Shostakovich piano quintet right is no small feat. I hadn't thought of quads. That migh... |
