| Magnepan20.1 And Soundlab A-1 Duke,I have to applaud your candid comments! My local Pass dealer is a custom speaker builder. They also tried to carry Magnepan. There is only 1 Maggie dealer in Arizona,Wilson Audio in Tucson.Here in Phoenix we've been waiting for a Maggie deale... | |
| Placement of Center Channel Speaker I have my center channel on 2 Target speaker stands in front of my Samsung DLP. I've tried this same speaker before on top of a Proton monitor & the detail delivery suffered. I do use a REF 30 processor that includes speaker distance in the se... | |
| best 200w 5ch amp? I own a Ref 30 & I pair it with a Sherbourn 5/1500. This is a 200 wpc amp with 5 monoblocs inside it. It is built like the Bryston 9BTHX, not as bullet proof, but less than half the price.Check one out! | |
| Two way vs. Three way Speakers Two ways are much easier to design the crossover for..Three ways are a lot (not 30%) harder to design in the crossover...... | |
| Best amps for full range electrostatic loudspeaker Try the Innersound stereo amp. I've heard it on Sound Labs, Magnepan, Martin Logan & Acoustat. It's built for panels............ | |
| Pass Aleph: which one to get? I forgot to add, the circuit board in the 30 is right on top, when you take the cover off. I believe it should be easier to tweak than the 3. (I'm waiting until the warranty ends before I change anything)... | |
| Pass Aleph: which one to get? I have the 3 & the 30. The 3 has 4 output transistors per channel, the 30 has 6. The 3 cost more new because of the metalwork. The 30 is more conventional & does have much better anodizing - it won't turn purple/red from heat like the 3s d... | |
| B&K harsh sound All B&K amps I've heard are laid back, sometimes too laid back.. What cables are you using? Post the info & you'll get input from experienced users here.... | |
| Which preamp to buy in the 2000.00 range used I'd try a Pass Aleph P w/remote, (if you don't mind the clicking volume control)- around $1500.00 used.Or a Pass X, over $2K but I belive worth it.. | |
| The Smallest amp/speaker combination? I just bought the half-size Parasound Z Amp V2, Z Pre & matching tuner. Retail on these is $900.00. They are the best small components I've heard...I believe there is a new Z amp & Z pre on audiogon right now, cheap. The amp comes in versi... | |
| How do I power up my monoblocks? I have Pass Aleph 2s & I have to step in next to my Aragon woofer amp to turn them on. I'm going to get dedicated lines soon. I'll will ask my electrician about installing high quality wall switces at least for my Aleph amps. (I have been usin... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 and Adcom GFA-5802 Amp? I own a GFP 750. My friend owned both a GFP 750 & the 5802. They sounded very good, both were modded. You should remember the GFP 750 is fully balanced. The GFA 5802 is not, it does have balanced inputs that convert to unbalanced inputs in the... | |
| Are Apogee Scintilla Speakers worth purchasing I have the Mini-Grands. They are the Stages w/subwoofer bases. With Pass Aleph 2 amps on the panels and a modded Aragon 4004MKII on the subs, these easily beat my Magnepan 3.3rs. They are the best speakers I've heard in my home, period.I haven't h... | |
| My vote for Tweak of the Week This is for real? This reminds me of gear that supposedly sounds better with the cover off...If a piece is this sensitive to knob material, I don't belive it was engineered well to begin with....Just like the gear that sounds better w/the cover of... | |
| What qualities do you look for in a good amp? I too was on the "Truly Balanced" path, courtesy of my Rowland Model 2. I even worshipped at the portal of "BPS" (battery power supply). This amp was "IT" for me.Then I heard an Aleph 3. Class A, single ended, sounds funky on warm up. Heats the ro... |
