| Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass? Interesting article on placements, I'd love to mess around with it but I'm afraid I don't have the space to have the speakers 40% out into the room. My room is also not a rectangle but more L shaped with a large opening to a dining room off to th... | |
| Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass? Moved them out 40% of the room width per the instruction, seems crazy to me that these speakers need to basically be in the middle of the room to sound good? | |
| Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass? I just followed the setup instructions from the Cardas website, here are my room measurements:http://www.socalhifi.com/Magnepan_Room_Setup.jpgHere's the Maggie's in their 'optimal' position, something tells me my wife won't allow this... =)http://... | |
| Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass? Hey guys, I took some measurements today with a calibrated microphone and as suspected the Magnepan 3.7’s are not performing nearly as well as the B&W 803S’s below about 75 Hz. I pulled the Magnepans out about 4 feet from the rear wall hoping ... | |
| Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass? @markalarsen I think I'd agree, I moved the Maggie's all over the room and can't get near the amount of bass out of them... | |
| Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass? Thanks for the input guys, sounds like everyone thinks with the similar specs they should perform similarly. I thought maybe conventional woofers with more throw might have more punch than electrostatics or some other explanation like that.I'll t... | |
| Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass? I've also A-B'd the Magnepan 3.7's to my of Thiel CS-2.4's which have these specs:Frequency response: 36Hz–25kHz, ±2dB. Thiels are similar to the B&W's and blow the Magnepans away with regards to bass, trying to figure out why when the specs a... | |
| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? @bdp24 - Very interesting option, would you mind posting some photos of your mod? | |
| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? Found these, going to give the 2.5A and 4A versions a try ($15 each).https://www.tweekgeek.com/amr-gold-fuses/ | |
| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? I suppose I could use the 2A on the tweeter, but I don't see a good option for the 5A fuse? | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? Great discussion! I was using a Krell S-1000 pre/pro with a Levinson 433 amp and Thiel CS-2.4 speakers and loved them. I swapped in a Meridian 861 preamp and B&W 803S speakers because I got some good deals on them. Currently using the Thiel... | |
| Controlling Levinson Amp via Ethernet DTC,Thanks for the response. I currently have the amplifier hooked up to my router, and access the amplifier through that. I know that the connection is correct because I am able to get to the amplifier status webpage.I think you're right, I just ... | |
| Controlling Levinson Amp via Ethernet Denon1, I'm very impressed with the sound of the Levinson 532H, one of the best amps I've had in my system to date (only amps that I would say sounded better were my Levinson 436 monoblocks). Currently have them hooked up to a pair of KEF Referenc... | |
| Controlling Levinson Amp via Ethernet Thanks Al. I also found TCPline and was trying that over the weekend, but couldn't get it to work. I tried sending ASCII commands to ports 21 and 80 to no avail...Please let me know if anyone else has any ideas.Thanks,Chris | |
| Krell preamp / Parasound amp power up issue You guys are correct. I called Krell to ask about the issue, and his first question was "Are you using a power conditioner?" And yes, I am using a PS Audio Premier active conditioner, and it can't provide enough current when the amp turns on. The ... |
