| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? @mre28m5 Wow, you have some really sh---t dealers in your area!Wouldn't work on your table because you replaced your mat...what a prima donna! Like I said above, I will be watching the various Tranq users and their posts over time, I sure would ... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? @varyat That’s good. Unfortunately a few of the other users have reported problems with this issue after some amount of use. I would question whether the magnetic field lessens over time ( if this is possible??), resulting in some slight slippage?... | |
| Two small RELs or One Larger Sub Probably a better way to go...BUT it is a lot more difficult to set up the blend and x-over with two subs vs one. | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? @varyat Thanks. Does the Radikal D recognize the speed in the same amount of time as before the mod? | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @effer,If you get a chance to hear the 30.7’s, I think you will be very impressed...I was..and I don’t even generally like planars!Only problem is that you will probably be looking to sell your Tympani IVa’s, LOL. Your idea about matching Pass Lab... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? Anybody here using a Radikal D power supply with the Tranquility?@mre28m5-- Why did you skip the Cirkus bearing mod? This mod is IMO a real game changer...gives you a lot of what you described in your post above. I’m still on the fence about the T... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? If I remember correctly, the bottom disc of the Tranquility is attached to the top of the bearing and the upper disc mounts to the underside of the sub platter. This enables the sub platter to essentially float off the bearing. However, I can cert... | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? I too have been following the various opinions of this mod. While most are overwhelmingly favorable, ( some are even huge raves), there appear to be ( as usual) a few naysayers. The naysayers seem to overwhelmingly state that the issue is that the... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! If I remember correctly, Wendell told me that the photo in the 30.7 ads showing the long haired listener was actually taken at one of their dealer events. The room was apparently 15' wide at this event...and would seem to show this in the ad. | |
| Systems with two separate amplifiers: tube & SS I also swap from ss to tube. I simply swap ic's from one amp to the other..and keep a separate run of speaker cable from each amp. Best of both worlds IME. | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @stickman451 I also heard the Maggie 30.7’s with Mcintosh gear...which I don’t feel is the best synergy with these speakers. ( although the amps do have the necessary drive to power the panels well)I asked Wendell what is the minimum size room for... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @tweak1 In my OP, I stated the new 30.7’s are ’not your father’s Maggie’s’Your description of your older model was exactly what I and many others had experienced with these speakers. Frustration was the word. OTOH, the new 30.7’s seem to have addr... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @pryso i am not so sure that the Maggie’s don’t sound a lot better with the rear wave attenuated. At the demo, the speakers were initially about 5+’ from the rear wall, one of our members moved them back about 6”and they definitely sounded better... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @josh358 That is exactly correct. The 30.7's require a very large room. Plus, they seem to also need acoustic treatment behind them to control the rear wave. Additionally, I think they probably truly benefit from at least bi-amping and probably qu... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @joey_v Your comment is interesting. However, unfortunately that has never stopped any of the numerous other competitors from pricing their wares in the stratosphere...regardless of what goes into them, LOL. |
