| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Bill,"Peregrinations", nice. Wow, 17K in media. My first thought is, "Oh, man, what a system that could have bought!" I have mastered the Mediaphlie impulse, and it’s a good thing, because my budget won’t support both the love for the variety of s... | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? Oh, I see, this is supposed to be the Maggie Fanboy Club Thread! "At this price...No better speakers on the market..." What nonsense! That's only IF you think the character of the sound is perfect with a panel. We're supposed to fawn over the lit... | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? mijostyn, did you bother to read the article about the Aspen Acoustics speaker? The ribbon has an attenuator so that its output can be perfectly dialed in. The separate tower allows for both toe in and baffle slope adjustments as well as positioni... | |
| Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s... You will find very few speaker companies with as wide a selection of veneer and color as Salk Audio, and they have a high degree of quality sound to value. I have reviewed two Salk speakers for Dagogo.com, the most recent being the SS 9.5, which i... | |
| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? A cursory glance shows the amp has what - 8, 4, 2 Ohm outputs. If you're on 8 Ohm, try the others. | |
| What's your dream speaker? There is also legitimacy, though limited advancement, to grabbing on to a speaker and pushing it to perform better over the years. I have done this with the King Sound King Tower omni. When I first obtained it, the sound was respectable but not st... | |

| What Integrated Amp do You use The Kinki Studio EX-M1+ Integrated Amp that I reviewed for Dagogo.com has the unusual capacity to allow for rolling opamps. I have used various combinations of Sonic Imagery, Sparkos Lab, and Burson in it. I am reviewing a fourth brand now and hav... | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? When it comes to midrange, the Magnepan .7 has strengths and weaknesses, as do all magnetic panel speakers; see my article at Dagogo.com. Even the King Sound King III and the Sound Lab Ultimate 545 (both also reviewed, and I own the King III) have... | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer) jaytor, you have a lot more fun coming your way; the effect of building out a set of cables is powerful, regardless of the brand. I enjoyed the changes to the system when I added cables from Iconoclast, which I point out in the review. Would you l... | |
| Magnepan, Best midrange? You'll love the Maggie; it also has no LF, just like your FR. :(You'll have severely compromised sound, which is what you are working for. You'll get it. | |
| List a Condition you know of that will produce Better Sound Without reference to actual audio systems this is a complete waste of time. | |
| Thank you Covid19 for getting me back into this expensive hobby! Buy less. Seek better. | |

| How to design a high end crossover… william53b, congratulations on your discoveries. It's a humbling thing to realize that one's preconceptions are faulty, and your admission of it publicly may be of help to participants here. An a priori commitment to measurements prevents many fro... |
