| McIntosh to Luxman? @ Soix Haha, haha! Wait, you work for an audio magazine and Best Buy Magnolia! You are truly a joke! What other stories are you going to cook up this time! Wait, I got it. I have to tell my friend who truly works as a manager for the Magnoli... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? I always say don’t use what you have in your main two channel rig for movies. You won’t wanna watch more than one movie. Heck, you may just turn it off because it is screaming at you. It will sound lifeless and unpleasant because it’s way to deta... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Nor do I where it comes to where you live and where you’ve heard them. Apparently I struck a nerve, lol. Taking one’s comments and twisting them to your liking for a debate doesn’t make you sound smarter, it makes you look desperate. Since you d... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? If you have read my post, I was only speaking about the Magnolia Best Buy stores only. I’m in Southern California and trust me, growing up on the east coast, sSouthern California have some of the best stores. Most Magnolia doesn’t get the McIntos... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? I have friends who manage what use to be Magnolia and sorry, I wouldn’t let them set up my system. When it comes to Plano design with Best Buy, at every store, the setup is the same. They don’t deviate from one store to another. In the room where... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? CORRECTION!!! It’s because the Magnolia at Best Buy has to follow the ridiculous floor plan which the setup is a disaster for sound quality. If you have ever been to a place or speak with the KEF Group, you would understand that the KEF Blade... | |

| McIntosh to Luxman? Soix “My experience with Mac is that it’s very tonally rich but is rolled off in the upper treble range that veils upper-octave detail and the openness of the overall soundstage. My experience comes from working for Magnolia at Best Buy and hear... | |
| Streamers made in America? I just purchased the Cary DMS800 PV. I now have both the Cary DMS600 and the DMS800PV. The best choice I have ever made especially since I have been down that rabbit hole chasing the best streamer/DAC. Best of luck to you guys on finding the rig... | |
| Streamers made in America? Ummmmm! Cary Audio DMS600 DMS650, DMS700, and DMS800 PV. All excellent choices! Hard to beat. | |
| The Forgotten Let’s take you back to 1988! How about a recently restored monster. The legendary Krell KRS200 Monoblock amplifiers ( Pure Fixed Class A) that can go down to 1/2 ohm. I’m a lucky man!! Running it with a pair of Wilson Audio Maxx 2 speakers. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Dynamiclinearity you forgot about the Krell KRS200. Pure Fixed Class A down to a 1/2 ohms. One of the most powerful Pure Fixed Class A Amps on the planet. Clearthinker i agree with you 100% My response as well: Have you done away wi... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo I disagree with Benzan’s response. I’m not sure what he is running with his DAC Stramer but I’ve owned the Bricasti M3. The Cary DMS 700 is equivalent to it. The Cary DMS 800PV is at another level. To get to similar levels, you would need to step ... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo I would definitely consider the Cary Audio DMS 700 or the DMS 800 Pro. Very hard to beat. Check out the reviews. It definitely won’t disappoint. | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? Cary Audio SLP-05 with the Ultimate Upgrade plus an unbelievable real Headphone Tube amplifier. Hard to beat. |
