Make me. But if I did, you have dug yourselves a deep enough hole at this point that it would just embarrass you.

Boy, you go to soooo much trouble to shoot down my perspective. Is it such a threat? Perhaps if you follow some of principals I suggest you will gain a little more confidence.

Does that line actually work on anyone?

I too believe that with Maggies and a Bryson one will be drawn into the music to forgot about how they got there. As with most ELS, planer/ribbion, and open baffle speakers (that is, dipole designs) driven by a distortion free amp.At least until a... 
VTL 50/50 Power Amp
I was looking for a low distortion tube amp to drive the main panels of my Audio Artistry 'Dvorak' system (woofer are best driven by solid state). It was suggest by the designer that some low power triode tube amps can perform very well if distort...

I believe the only reference for what is 'best' in recording and playback is the live music in the environment in which it is recorded, or 'true to the original'.Too many in the recording industry are either ignorant of this principal, or do not f...

The reference for 'truth' in audio is, 'true to the original'. That is, the more a system will reveal exactly, truely, the sonic character of the source material, the closer to the truth. Producing the recording itself is on them to provide, as cl...

Define 'best'. Define 'good'.I guess you do not get it. The music that was recorded on the source cannot be changed, or made good, or bad. You can aspire to a system that will reveal the condition and sonic quality of the recorded material, or, le...

You are not going to get 'bass' out of a Maggie. It takes sub woofers (hybrid) to get to the lower frequencies. Even then, frequency integration is a challenge with those designs. The 1.6 only goes to what 40hz? No amount of power is going to chan... 
Interconnect between VTL tube pre and Bryston amp
Plant earth calling.Cables can provide a sound of their own, they are certainly marketed for whatever that nuance is. But any 'sound' any component makes is distortion. And distracts from and corrupts the music being played (whatever the sonic qua...

If you put more power into the speaker than they are made to stand damage will result. That is why the mfgr gives minimum power requirement, and Maximum to protect them. I am curious why Magnapan so sidesteps the power issue unlike any other mfgr.... 
Placement for Soliloquy speakers
565 divided by 15 = 37, the lowest frequency the room can handle. The speakers go to 30hz, so it is likely, if the source material is not boomy bass heavy, that your setup is too much in the corners (the worst possible place for accurate bass resp...

Do you know the degree of distortion of the amp? Is it <0.1% over a 5hz-50khz frequency range. There are amps with way less (ATI for instance is <0.005%), but anything more and I think you are pretty much out of the 'hi-fi' catagory.What do ... 
Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR?
Point of order. You get bass response from the speaker drivers, not the amplifier. What you want from an amp is power sufficient for the drivers, but not such much to risk damage, and the minimal distortion. If it is low enough, like say ATI <0...

When it gets personal... it always comes to a bad end. It is a downward spiral. Lets get back to judgementaless free expression, and learn to enjoy each other's differences.Hint: consider your own attitue before judging what other's is. Especially...
