| Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k If you can stretch to $4,500 take a look at the Octave v40se. Incredible build quality and they have an upgrade path by adding the black box or super black box. | |
| Searching for an amp to pair with Rockport Atria II Thank you for all of the input on amps. I am picking up a pair of Octave MRE220. I really liked the sound of the re320 without the preamp in the system just being feed from my Bartok. The mono put out 220w with 300w of peak power so they will powe... | |
| Searching for an amp to pair with Rockport Atria II unfortunately space will not allow for the amp stand in the middle of a walkway nor will my wife. She already tolerates the speakers 3 ft into the room so i don’t want to push it. | |
| Searching for an amp to pair with Rockport Atria II i have looked at the pass it is too large for my stand unfortunately. that is what is holding me back on the Diablo 300 as well. We have a custom built equipment stand an I don’t want to replace it just yet. | |
| Mágico M6 vs Big Wilson speakers Having owned a pair of Magico S1MKII I would not say that the cabinets ring. The Magico cabinets are pretty dead I will say that the cabinet on the Rockport that replaced my Magico are even more dead than the S1MKII. I would also say that I anyone... | |
| Mágico M6 vs Big Wilson speakers Carey1110 at this price point I would also throw the Rockport Lyra into the mix. It has possibly the best cabinet construction of all three at this price point. I have heard a pair of M6 with a pair of Q18 subs but not on their own. They are all g... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? Pinwa I think that the biggest problem could be how you are running the setup control wise. If you are sending the dac signal directly to the subs and controlling the speaker volume with the amp. I suggest you try setting the amp to one set level ... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 I am actually in a similar position. I went to audition both the A5 and Atria II as a replacement for my Magico S1MKII. I am fortunate in that my local Magico dealer is also the local Rockport dealer. I was able to hear them back to back on the sa... | |
| KEF Reference 1s or LS50s I second the magico A1 they are incredible and better the ref 1 in every way imo. | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I would fully recomend the Metrum Onyx. It is an incredible DAC. The company should be back up to their old standards as the original owners have bought back the company. I used to own one before I got a TT2 and now am on th the dCS Bartok. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience I would suggest you check out Magico. The S1MKII is damn good and the new A5 is supposed to be really good. If can stretch some the S3MKII is incredible. Rockport atria 2 is another good option. As are wilson and YG speakers. I suggest you auditio... | |
| Looking at Focal Contuzzi. Yes magico does require more power generally. I would disagree about low level listening. I have a pair of s1mk2 and they sound pretty damn good at around 65db. They do sound even better at 75db though. Plus they are a much better build ... | |
| Looking at Focal Not to throw a wrench into things but at the price point of the kanta 3 you might want to take a look at the magico a3. Imo they are a better built speaker that I would say beats the focal in terms of resolution and has tighter bass and better sta... | |
| Sold My Ayre QB-9 DSD - Help Me Choose A New DAC! If you are looking for an r2r dac I would suggest the sonnett morpheus. It is designed by the same person that developed the metrum dacs. I used to have a metrum onyx that was really good. The morpheus is supposed to be on about the same level as ... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers Wow seems like there is some hate towards Magico here. I hope to be able to hear these on day. I really liked the M6 and the M2 is an incredible speaker. I hope to one day have a pair of M2. Until then I will have to make due with my S1MKII. |
