2 REL Strata Subs and Mono amps
My advice is to contact the manufacturer of your amplifier to ensure that it is compatible with the intended use. 
Is NAD C372 Integrated good match w/ Maggie1.7's?
Comedychief, the subject of amplification for Maggies has been discussed at length in these forums and reappears frequently enough that the best and most current advice is always available. Yet, for the most part, there is a common thread. Maggies... 
Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter
Warrenh, not to hijack the thread, but yes I really like the mapleshade rack. It is even prettier than the pictures show. And it is just solid as a rock. I spent most of Dec 21st close by, just in case i needed to dive in between the 2nd and 3rd s...

I have not had very good luck with PS audio products. MUCH more happy with the stuff from Audio Magic. The AM blue dot paired with the current generation Mini Reference is superb. 
Maggie 3,6's with levinson 20.amp any thoughts
RLwainwright has succinctly captured the conventional wisdom on driving Maggies with solid state amps. There have been many threads on driving the 3.6's specifically, which you should consider if you haven't already. Magnepan typically uses brysto...

When does seller's responsibility end?
Once an item is received undamaged, the recipient should be given a reasonable length of time, i.e., 3-4 days to ensure proper functioning. He should then submit feedback indicating his satisfaction with the transaction, at which point the seller ... 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
Well I feel left out. No one sends me low ball offers. What am I doing wrong? I have had a few OUS offers for US only sales, but I responded politely with an explanation and found the people to be legit. I still don't sell OUS. Its just too much o... 
Why no as many post about music vs equipment......
Learsfool, Well said! I find it surprising when I audition new equipment how much equipment sounds so little like live music. I can only surmise that those who hold the equipment in high esteem have removed themselves from the only meaningful refe... 
Why no as many post about music vs equipment......
I share Mountainsong's interest in seeing more discussion of music on this forum. I love the gear for sure, but it is a means to an end, and the end is music. I am left brain by training and profession, but right brain by passion. The consequence ... 
Can speakers be tested?
revnice,The delamination is not a hard fix. There are folks around here who have done it themselves. If you start a new thread titled need help with magnepan delamination you might get a response. 
Do you ever just listen to music
If you are thinking about the system you aren't "there" yet. Once you get "there" you think about your system when you aren't listening. 
Can speakers be tested?
UV and humidity are known to cause delamination in older models. I think having strong UV pass though a mylar polymer is a really bad idea. Since they haven't been used in a very long time, its worth letting them play for 20 hours or so before you... 
sony xa5400es or marantz sa15s2?
The Sony is a very good player. I have not heard the Marantz. 
What do you feel is the best used SACD player?
Any of the recent ModWright Sony or Oppo players used are a great value. I have also heard a few of the Esoteric players and liked them. Esoteric would be my first choice afte the ModWright players.
