| Any Thoughts? How much does Canada weigh¿ | |
| Audio Research Dog Used to be one of my passions as well. My brother and I had a photo processing business back in the day. Had a camera around my neck everywhere I went. You certainly have a good eye. | |
| Audio Research Dog @ghdprentice, that set of photos that follow after the dog photo are pretty damn impressive. Solid photography! | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @krelldreams, true dat! Every model I’ve had sounded a bit disappointing out of the box. Fortunately, they get better with age. I’ve found that about 3 months is a good break in period but they still continue improve after that. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I think they will work too. Especially since you have some room treatments. I find (in my room) that absorption on the front wall kills some of the sense of spaciousness. I have absorbsion/scattering panels on the rear wall and diffusion panels on... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @yyzsantabarbara, I’ve never had Maggie’s in a room that small so I won’t speculate on how they would sound. Apparently Magnepan says yes. Here is what Magnepan says about that from their FAQ section: “A typical consumer question-- "Is the _____... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. OP, you mentioned your age. I too am getting up there and I have some physical limitations. I can’t be chucking around 50+ lb amps anymore. That’s why I recently went to class D monoblocks from PS Audio. Stellar M700. They are only about 13 lbs an... | |
| Help with hiss @2psyop, Yep. Similar experience. For the year I had the upgrade, it was there longer than it was at my place. Straight answers were hard to come by but excuses and non-answers were easy to come by. I hope this isn’t the same for OP. I chalked it ... | |
| Help with hiss I have an Odyssey Audio Stratos. For 20 yrs it was dead quiet. In 2021, I sent it to Odyssey for a Kismit upgrade. It came back with a hiss in the speakers and transformer hum. I sent it back (almost $300 in shipping by now). They said that they r... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Mesch, congrats on the new LRS +! They’ll sound even better after some period of break-in. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! RE: Magnepan’s amp recommendations The good folks at Magnepan, God bless’em, need to listen to some good modern class D amps with their speakers and then update that FAQ on amps. Then there is this quote from that FAQ “WE DON’T KNOW. It is too m... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Arafiq, I’m no expert but I used to have a 250 watt amp that doubled at 4 and never felt like I needed more to drive the 1.6 and 1.7i. My room is slightly smaller than yours and I don’t listen at loud volumes. I did upgrade from that amp to more ... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! "Also, Maggies really perform best with high current, linear-power-supply class AB amplifiers. Unfortunately, most class D amps, regardless of power/watts spec, do not possess the current capability necessary to “wake” them up." I must disagree w... | |
| Thanks to Paul McGowan I went from Odyssey Kismet stereo amp to PS audio M700s. It felt like for the first time I was really hearing what my Magnepan 1.7i could really do. Wish I could afford the 1200s but Im very happy with Pauls M700s. I don’t know Mr. McGowan but I’v... | |
| I noticed brightness/harshness more than usual from my system a couple months back. Baring some sort of equipment failure, have you tried repositioning your speakers. Try pulling them further from the wall. Maybe play with toe in a bit. Just a thought after seeing your system photos. |
