Does anyone own the Magico Mini 2?
My father had a pair of these recently until switching to a larger and newer pair of Magico. I thought these speakers were very impressive. They are massive by the way, so don’t be fooled by the fact they are monitors. For only having a tweeter an... 
Integrated amp recommendation for Focal 1038
I guess I should add that I'm not pulling a trigger on a Pass INT because I'd rather be towards the $2500 mark vs $3500 of course. I'll give PL a look. 
Stereo Preamp suggestion
I’m not 100% positive but I think for what you are trying to do only the parasound p6 or anthem str will actually do what you want. I believe they have HT bypass for the RL speakers as well as subwoofers. I had the P5 not the P6 and found it reall... 
Anthem MCA 325 or Rotel 1582 with B&W CM10
Now that you have had the A21 for a while what are your impressions? 
Magico Mini 2
My dad has a pair of these speakers and I love them. He has them driven with all Pass Labs gear. Very impressive and surprisingly good amount of bass for a monitor. That price is high those, 9-10k is more what I’d think they’d be 
Looking For Advice After Dumb Vandy Purchase
Sorry I missed that you purchased new already 
Looking For Advice After Dumb Vandy Purchase
It looks like there might be one for sale on usaudiomart from a guy in California that’s asking $995, maybe you can talk him down. Hopefully this is the product you were looking for - not sure if you needed XLR or RCA. 
Using a Rel Sub with a dedicated center channel
I’m using a Marantz mm8807 to power my center, surrounds and height speakers. Could it be there isn’t enough juice in the amplifier?  
Using a Rel Sub with a dedicated center channel
I played around with the settings on the Yamaha a bit, I think I'm also searching for something that might not be there - I really like how everything sounds as is too. Seems like a subwoofer may be more of a waste than a benefit. But as always, w... 
Using a Rel Sub with a dedicated center channel
I’ll try setting it to 80 hz first and see what happens. I have been planning on getting a better amplifier to power my center channel. I’ve got a Marantz mm8807 for the center and surrounds for now. I’m sure it’s plenty good for the surrounds but... 
Using a Rel Sub with a dedicated center channel
I would probably get a Rel T9/i or S3/sho, nothing crazy 
Using a Rel Sub with a dedicated center channel
Could the sub potentially fill in the 60-120 hz range for the center channel though? The vocal clarity is so good on my center I would fear trying something else. I've tried a few centers in the $1200-1600 range and I definitely like this one the ... 
MUST Have Vinyl
Dire Straits - Brothers in arms. I like the MFSL 45 rpm
