| Magnepan 3.7 or PSB Synchrony One? You need to hear these speakers for yourself, there is no substitute. I own the 3.7s and I haven't gotten much out of the responses on this thread other than each partisan defending his own choice, which is par for the course on internet forums. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Just had 10th anniversary w/ my ARC VT200MKI. No plans to change. | |
| ARC's new REF-75 I have, hence the comment. | |
| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? Maggies were born in another era when SETs were the not buzz. It was an era of very large ARC tube amps that only made 110-150 wpc but were biamp'd into tympanis with unprecedented results. They are a small company that has changed little, offerin... | |
| Magnepan Bass, Dynamics and Subwoofers Realistic bass for me is the 12th row and I've never been slammed by the bass at any performance I've attended. I don't sit next to the instruments at concerts or other live (unamplified) music venues. I've always run my Maggies full range for tha... | |
| ARC's new REF-75 If you combine all the negative reactions offered by audiophiles to individual audio companies and their products, a non audiophile would reasonably conclude that high end audio is a hoax designed to steal large sums of money from the intentionall... | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to I had my 3.6s for 8yrs and 2.5s for 13yrs before the 3.6s, and MG1s for 13 years before the 2.5s. I always demo'd every component before purchase. Until the 3.7s. That was a mistake. I have yet to discern a major sonic benefit over the 3.6s in my ... | |
| ARC PH-8 I felt the same way about the Ref 5 compared to the Ref 3, but nobody likes a buzz killer. I actually have some misgivings about the new ARC gear in terms of really offering significant sonic improvements over their immediate predecessors. Have to... | |
| ARC preamp line up i suggested the SP6 in my first reply. | |
| ARC preamp line up You should take a look at www.arcdb.ws This database will give you a chronologic history of both the preamps and line stages that ARC made through the Ref 5. | |
| AUDIO RESEARCH-WHERE ARE THEY GOING I've called 2-3 times in the last several months about KT120s for my VT200, whether there would be an SE for the CD8 (no), and sending my Ref 3 back for a new display. Prompt answer of the phone and either direct connection or a very quick call ba... | |
| ARC preamp line up I owned an SP5 for many years and it was okay but the Analog Module technology (shared w/ the SP4) was not a sonic high water mark for ARC. By comparison the SP6 (all tube) was a contemporary of the SP5/SP4 and an overall much better offering. If ... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Once the 3.7s were introduced it made little sense to jump into the 20.1 unless they were used at an attractive price. There was little doubt that the QR technology would be applied to the 20 series within the year. No manufacturer is going to ann... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 I prefer to believe that my ARC VT200 is totally inadequate to drive the 20.7s! (: | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? The issue may be the aluminum rails. The wood rails are the same as the 3.6s, but the aluminum sides are new to the 3.7. I got my cherry 3.7s in 3/11 after ordering in 1/11. The dealer did not get his aluminum store demos until late 5/11 due to de... |
