Martin Logan vs. Everything
From my experience and many others I have spoken with Magnolia is a terrible place to audition speakers. Their rooms are very badly set up.  
Martin Logan vs. Everything
I am currently running a pair of Expression 13a and a pair of Aerial 10t in my music room. Previously I had a pair of Logan Summit X and Magnepan 3.7i. The Magnepans were great but I felt the Logans were just a bit better. I then sold those and st...

Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please
Wow !

It appears from my research that these speakers do not have a common crossover. The crossovers were voiced to the pair, with that in mind I am going to remove but not disassemble the crossover and make a schematic of it. I am also going to get som...

I used both Qobutz and CD sources. I played Jazz, Blues and Rock. The results were the same regardless of music or pre and amp. I have not tried tubes. My tube amp is a Cary 300SEI F1 and it only puts out 13 watts per channel.

I rarely post anything here. I did so this time because I had direct experience on the topic and reported it in a factual and non judgmental fashion. My reward was to be called a lier by one member and told I was in the wrong hobby by another ( I ...

A few months ago I purchased a used pair of speakers from another Agon member. To my surprise all the fuses were Orange fuses. I listened to them and then to satisfy my curiosity I replaced them with ordinary buss fuses and could not hear a differ... 
Magnepan, Best midrange?
I am currently running three systems in a 35x25x10 room. One is a Magnepan 3.7i, musical fidelity M6PRX amp and M6PRE. The second is Martin Logan Summit-X with a Nakamichi PA-7 and CA7. The third is an Altec A-5 with a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 pream... 
Definitely lonely to be an audiophile
It is hard to share this hobby with people who think the work and expense you put into the pursuit of excellent sound is foolish, but I do enjoy sharing it with some fellow audiophiles that I know. Mostly though it is a solitary but highly enjoyab... 
Dedicated power
The only single phase 30amp receptacles are twist lock. If you insist on using a 30amp line you would have to change the male ends of your power chords to twist lock. Total overkill as a 20amp circuit is more than enough or multiple 20amp circuits...
