| Magnepan announces the 20.7 After 9 months of ownership I think the 3.7s are very good, but as well stated above, an evolutionary step beyond the 3.6, and no more. I would be very surprised indeed if the 20.7 could not be bi-ampable at its price point. The amplification and ... | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? The 20.7 has been given a mini review by JH on the TAS website. Expect an introduction at CES 1/12. For those who suggested it wouldn't happen, it did. | |
| best amp for Magnepan 3,7 System synergy and room characteristics will influence your results to such a large extent that only an in home audition of the amp(s) under consideration will be of any value. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP When one remains silent others may believe you are wise or ignorant. Once you speak they will know for certain. | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? You have to evaluate the line up as Magnepan views their customers and what they believe are the customer's respective budgets. The 3 series is a compromised design based on what Magnepan believes most customers will bring to the table in terms of... | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile We naturally agree w/ the positive reviews of our own components and seek these reviews out for validation of our choices. Ask yourself, how do you react if one of your own components receives an unfavorable comment from an Audiogon members on one... | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile TAS has never measured anything which was their major attraction back when Julian Hirsch was writing for Stereo Review and measured everything which was easier to write about than the sound anyway. Of course back then TAS had no advertising and re... | |
| How do the Magnepan 3.6r compare to the new 1.7 Well insofar as the reviewers are concerned, the comments on the 3.6s lack of coherency surfaced primarily in the reviews of the 3.7. Since it's introduction in 1999 the 3.6 was heralded by these same reviewers as among the best speakers produced,... | |
| Audio Research Reference Linestages In my experience the Ref 3 was a total departure from the previous Ref series which I frankly found underwhelming except in comparison to ARC's own offerings down the food chain. The Ref 3 is (and I presume the Ref 5 as well) a world class preamp ... | |
| Audio Research Ref210 vs Ref300 vs VTM200 I also had to send it to ARC for a retube but it has been flawless since. I have thought about giving them a call to see if they would be willing to retube my VT200 with KT 120's and maybe even update the power supply to handle the KT 120. At 13K ... | |
| Audio Research Ref210 vs Ref300 vs VTM200 I switched out an LS16MkI for a Ref3 paired w/ a VT200MkI and the difference was profound in terms of detail, imagining, and soundstage depth. I believe the early VT series of amplifiers are all tube. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Well you sort of opened a Pandora's box when you asked this question. My advice, don't spend any money right now, especially on cables or power cords. First play w/ the speaker position and the see what you can do about the room interactions. Post... | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? Caveat emptor. Buyers decide: The Market reacts: Companies live or die ARC has survived for the last forty years, if it's all been a gimmick it's remarkably well disguised! | |
| Audio Research DS 450 amp......thoughts Why let the facts get in the way of expressing an opinion? That's why the internet was invented, right? :) | |
| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? High end audio is largely about people pursuing diminishing returns with ever increasing expenditures. ARC 's business model is among the least cynical in this regard when you consider that one can purchase a set of speaker cables that well exceed... |
