| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise Several veterans of the industry I've spoken with have said the same thing, i.e..downfirng subs are not recommended. Most hig end subs are in fact front firing as I would instinctually prefer myself. Terry at Mapleshade is one who recommends frnt ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 As far as I know, an amp does not make sounds without a little help. A power cord can make an amp sound quite different. If you had enough love of music to purchase an ARC Ref 110 amp, you should understand that generalizations are worthless. How ... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Sounds very liberal. Let's not tell anyone why something is good when we can avoid the issue completely and describe a bunch of random characteristics. Let's not call a baby a baby, we'll just call it a fetus...and don't even get me started on the... | |

| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging As you can see, there is a box for everyone. I would suggest you venture outside the box and get the Magnepan 1.6 speakers. Once you live with Maggies there is no going back to box world:O) | |
| Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go... All great suggestions...what is your budget? | |
| Totem Forest Speakers..... To do list for Matt00:Treat room with natural diffraction and sound damping materials i.e.., soft furniture, drapes or wall hangings, plants, wood furniture, carpet etc.. Get MIT cabling and power cords.Put 2 to 4 inch blocks of wood under your co... | |

| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Aint it fun :O ) Lash them cables up and enjoy the ride! I would call Robert Stein at the Cable Company if I wanted to try a bunch of cables without making a large investment. | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Aldavis, it does matter if you understand what actual instruments sound like. It also matters that you are able to discern some basic qualities of instruments so you can listen for accurate music reproduction. |
