Magnepan ribbons problems
I had MGIIIa also and only replaced one tweeter in 7 years, and that was because of a movie soundtrack clipping my 255watt a channel amplifier. Movies would melt the fuse adhesive and the fuse would appear good, but wasn't. Make sure the fuses you... 
GamuT CD 1 R inquiry
I placed an order for the CD1 and then it was delayed because of the demand and got the CD1R instead.I was worried about the review but my NHT 3.3's which go down to ~23hz didn't miss a thing and it is an extremely musical player with excellent pa... 
Buzzing in my speakers w/ new amp
if it is your cable tv, then get a rat shack 75ohm to 300ohm and then convert it back to 75ohm and that will break the ground... Cheap fix 
Getting started, need amp recommendation
My vote is the Acurus DIA100 or I've seen some DIA150's posted for $450... I heard the little DIA100 (which has a passive preamp built in) power some PSB Gold i Speakers and it was amazing.. Erroring on the high side of power gives you lots of opt... 
Affordable separate vs. high end receiver – which
If you want bang for the buck, Outlaw Audio amplifiers, but I would probably still get the Rotel 1066, or look at a sunfire amplifier 5x200 used ~$1000... Don't get a Receiver, it might be rated for more power, but you can't put all that stuff in ... 
For Your Viewing Pleasure
Wow, he has a cheap and easy DYI Bass Tube trap design that is worth a look..I'm going to be building those! 
VMPS RM-40s - Bargin or not?
I still think the VMPS RM40's are an amazing deal for what you get, but I've decided to purchase Wilson Watt/Puppy 7 in "Fly Yellow" (why Yellow? Because I can!) so check my systems page in 2-3 months for pictures.Event though they are 3.5 times t... 
Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one
Bax Sucks!First I scheduled pickup on the web(1 week lead time), they didn't show. I called them and tThey said they would pickup from a residence, but then the local carrier said they wouldn't. I rented a u-haul $35 to move my billy bags rack (on... 
BAT or Lamm
AbexThat is why I have a Placette Active Preamp, because it turns off the power to the remote after each adjustment to prevent interference... and it can't say enough good things about how percise the volume is... I can get that little 2% more, th... 
BAT or Lamm
Some BAT models you can get a remote, I don't think that is an option on the Lamm. Also some of the Lamm models have discrete channels including seperate left and right volume knobs.For some people this is the deciding factor. 
Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805?
Back on Track...($.01 If you can't afford the torque wrench, then you should finance your Bose System from Best Buy, because you are adding cost to my Sears tools that I do buy)As long as you don't strip out the MDF by tighening the drivers, you a... 
Ground Loop Humm/Buzz from Television
watch out some plasma screens cause all sorts of interference problems.. good luck with your cordless phone. 
Anyone using the Gateway 42" Plasma?
They are noisy: over 40dB if I remember correctly because of the fans to cool it.. Contrast Suffers compared to all other plasma's. 
VMPS RM-40s - Bargin or not?
KeithR - I have not updated my system page, I now have moved to my first house, and have a dedicated audio room (family room for video) (still small) and zero 'W' to worry about now... so WAF is not a factor (Wilson fit and finish is top grade) an... 
VMPS RM-40s - Bargin or not?
I was going to buy Wilson Sophia's until I heard how smooth the VMPS RM40's (with the upgrades).. The nice thing is they are tall 61"~66" but the aren't very wide so they aren't very intrusive.The pair I listened to were about 1.5-2' from the back...
