| Smooth sounding integrated Marantz PM8005 used or 8006 new. Smooth, detailed, dynamic, excellent build quality. Would match up well with your Silver 6. | |
| You are invited on a "trip down memory lane". @o_holter If you REALLY miss those A25's Madisound has a nice kit to make a similar but better performing speaker. Check it out. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/2-way-speaker-kits/seas-a26-10-2-way-kit-pair-based-on-the-classic-a25/ | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Glad you are happy with the combo tony. Looks like you did some listening into the early hours! One real bonus of the DI's is the latitude they afford in choice of associated gear and the ability to fine tune things to your liking.After many yea... | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation Have to admit, Mr. crusty's thoughts on the DIY fest with the Akitika gear makes me want to get out my soldering iron! | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation Take the Parts Express Solstice, add a used 9/10 belles aria, and you have a lot of $$$ for the front end and goodies. No way to be disappointed in this combo | |
| chop stick holders. Great suggestion! In a hobby filled with uber-expensive tweaks, you can go crazy for under $5. Love it. | |
| Life After Your Magnepan’s Check out Tekton Moabs or Ulfberhts. They will fill that large room with great sound that won't have you missing your Magnepans at all. | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation While this may hold no appeal for you, one way to really open up the budget for better electronics would be to build the Parts Express Solstice speaker kit. These are just over 1K and will compete with speakers that would consume your entire budg... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts As above. It was around the fall of 2017 that the speaker was revoiced on the top end and the polar response widened. I have the earlier version, and in a dedicated listening room have never felt the need to have this changed. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I'm not in a position to comment of the SE's or Moabs relative to the DI's. I am sure they are all great speakers and huge values--especially the DI's and Moabs. See the above linkDon't worry about your amp right now. Sort out the speaker and p... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @listening99 As many have stated, the DI's pull off a neat trick of having very good detail but with no edge. I am intolerant of bright speakers that have any fatigue associated with them. These would be a welcome change from Klipsch for examp... | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 Moabs. No brainer. Under budget with magnificent sound. | |
| Merry Christmas! Happy Festivas tooblue. Can't wait for the feats of strength! | |
| Grimm findings on streaming audio I'll buy an extra Marantz Reference CD/SACD player, maybe a spare transport, and no worries in this lifetime. At least I won't be held hostage to a bastardized music source. | |
| Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others? Given your fondness of the Marantz CD player, why not get the Marantz 8006 integrated. I had a 8005 before I bought their Reference gear and found it to be a great integrated. I preferred it to a well regarded 200wpc hybrid power amp |
