Passive sub for Magnepan 3.6r?
I use two active def tech subs in line with the midrange/bass panels of my 3.6R's (left and right outboard)and it sounds amazing. Switched my sub cables to Morrow Sub3's, which have tremendous speed and definition.

Keep in mind you should think about the Cardas jumper kit for the crossover. For the tweeter attenuater I use a set of NBS custom jumpers...exquisite sounding treble (I was a drummer so I love realistic sounding cymbals). HiFi tuning fuses will al...

Thanks guys, for some straight forward discussiion. I didn't really want to start a pissing match. It just get's me fired up when certain principles are ignored and or talked around. one of my favorite small footprint box designs are the Totem For...

I didn't wish to harp on anyone per se, but only to shake the percieved paradigm a bit as it relates to speakers in general. Emotion and passion are too often missing from our complacent exchanges. Choir practice can get boring, don't you think? I...

It's no wonder concert attendance is at an all time low considering the lack of perspective on these threads. Does everyone have ADD? I listened to the Magico lineup and it sounds just fine. Not worth the price, but fine enough. The sheer fact tha...

Talk about ignorance...there is no hope for the clueless coverstory audiophile. The latest piece of garbage with some new age karma attached to it will sell at least enough overpriced units to keep a company in business for a few years. Ever hear ...

Maybe you missed my trip down memory lane when I mentioned my ARC referemce setup or the krell Evo rig or any of the other numerous 6 figure setups I've owned. You can call my dealers if you like or maybe my bank account? The older I get the less ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Had to mention, I just read a review of the Apex cables where the reviewer compared them to? Other SR cables. Oh, then they were challenged by the reviewers DIY cables..Oooh Ahhh :=) It's just unfair I tell ya! 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
My head hurts just thinking about SR speak...no thanks, I've demo'd them enough to know they are not for me. Happy trails:O) 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I also looked deeply into the SR website and the info is slim to none, unlike say a Cardas site (they even compare all alternative geometries). This is Voodoo folks and has taken the path of the mystics vs SR's previous attempts.

I understand James63, believe me! I am not a novice and have owned many $100K systems in various homes over the years...most of them box based. For orchestral, planars sound far more natural. Jazz also sounds more continuous and existing in the sa...

See, Sirspeedy understands the French:O) 
Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison
If you don't know what a French sound is (ala JM Labs) then you must be new at this game. I didn't say they were bad speakers, just unjustifiable at the price point. By the way, an orchestra is a wall of sound. Close your eyes at a concert and you...

Magico speakers are very expensive and completely useless without commensurate electronics, cables and acoustics. You need to hear them and have lot's of money. I have heard them and find them to be good speakers, more French sounding then anythin...

I frequent the orchestra often and I've owned very capable box speakers like Dunlavy SC-V's, Wilson W/P 6's, Dynaudio C4's and B&W 801N's. The 3.6R's with SS amplification delivers a more believable representation of a bass drum for me...impac...
