| Totem Forest Speakers..... What I like about the Sony is it's overall take on the music. It has tremendous clarity, great dynamic contrast, tonal accuracy and an almost non-existent level of digititis or odd harmonics aka glare. The price also makes it a great bargain and e... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Rova, your nose should be a little tilted up after undertaking what you have to make those cables. I believe most so called high end cables would sound worse than what you have produced, which is why I have always said wire is wire unless somethin... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena's For someone who knows music, there can be only one speaker for you...Magnepan! I almost went for the 3A's but was convinced by an audition and a little faith, that the 3.6R's would deliver a more natural sound. They are so evenly balanced and effo... | |
| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise Understood Shadorne, I am just amazed how well my Maggies load my room and outplay almost anything I've owned and that they do it so cleanly. | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Rova, sharing is good. I appreciate your opinion and concede, that when there is overwhelming support for a product, it may be worth looking into. My previous post, which I think you missed, states what I was trying not to do. I do have some prett... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Jadem6 just put the post script on my thoughts and I do concur with his opinions regarding the aforementioned cables and their characteristics. I was just trying to be UN-characteristicaly Dave b in an attempt to not pontificate or have anyone was... | |
| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise My ears will bleed before I hear any distortion in my system. The Maggies are about 10ft apart with slight tow in, 49"-50"from front/long wall and my sitting position is roughly 11ft away against the back/long wall. Lots of wood and soft furniture... | |
| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise Dogmcd states the case very well. Reinforcement is the key word, below 40hz crossover (35hz for my 3.6 r's). I use two subs to smooth out the in room response. Any body here ever try a tube output buffer ala, Grant Audio, Pacific Valve yagin, decw... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Rova and Jadem6, despite my love of Spongebob and a good laugh once in a while (even a not so good laugh), my experience with cabling has been vast and with a ton of varying gear. That said, I hesitate to pontificate because I know the fallacy of ... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? I was channeling my inner Patrick...couldn't figure out how to convey his primal laugh/grunt however, so sorry:( Are you channeling Sandy, Nasaman? | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Wow, alot has transpired here since I last checked in! Anywho, wood that can absorb away the mechanical energy from the component/speaker most efficiently, while damping the back energy trying to re-enter the component/speaker, is obviously the wi... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? What Rodman99999 said (X4)! I love this game, let's keep playing...Huh huh huh huh (said with childlike abandonment in my best Patrick Star voice) =:O ) | |
| Maggie versus Magico Chadeffect, that is what I expected as well. For the life of me I cannot understand why I am getting BETTER dynamic swing , presence and slam aka punch that is equal to or better than most of the box speakers I've owned which included Wilson W/P6'... | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 I can say that compared to the VT 100MKII and VT200MKII combined with my LS25 and Ref2 MKII, the newer Ref designs are more solid state like in their presentation, albeit with increased dimensionality and huge soundstaging. For me, the advent of t... | |
| Maggie versus Magico I don't know about the older Maggies, but my new 3.6R's with vertical crossovers are more dynamic and play loud and huge. In fact, they compare favorably to even my previous W/P 6's, Sophias and Dynausio C4's. They simply need an amp that doubles ... |
