| which not too expensive amp for Maggie 1.7 ? The most bang for the buck, and a good match for all but the largest room would be the NAD that sells new for $1,200. There has been at least one for sale in the past few weeks for under $1,000. | |
| Which Rel sub for Audio Physic size of room is one of the most important factors. I went from a T-2 to a B3 with good results in a 12x12x9 room. | |
| McIntosh vs. Marantz ...... sonics? By the time the 22xx receivers came out Marantz had been sold and the focus of the company was on more popularly priced products. Mac products of the 70's were considerably more expensive (and made in USA) than most of the Marantz line. | |
| How much "more" for how much more $ ? I think the law of diminishing returns applies. Combined with room size, you theoretically reach a point where it takes a larger incremental investment to achieve smaller improvements. I would doubt that a $25,000 turntable is five times better (m... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Checked out your thread.Arctic Silver X5 4.4iCosmos Black M Roadster | |
| Klipschorn Imaging I stand corrected. It was the Cornwall. I have seen single Cornwall's for sale on Audiogon. | |
| Klipschorn Imaging If the distance between K-Horns is too great, you may need a center speaker. I believe the Heresy was introduced for that purpose | |

| $1700 floorstanders Why not used Harbeth's on stands?Don't spend your money on cables now. Put the money into speakers. | |
| Did I choose the right path? You might find a buyer for the B&W's. Use that towards some newer efficient speakers like PSB's. You might be able to find Alpha B-1's for about $200(minus what you can sell the B&W's for).This will be a much better match to your amp. Most... | |
| Best budget speakers for near-field/small space Maggies are tempting, but probably not in a small cramped room and on your budget.Start with a NAD amp or receiver(50 wpc), and PSB speakers (Alpha B-1's). If you buy used, or on a closeout from Audio Adviser you night stay on budget with enough l... | |
| Wadia 170i Ipod Dock Vs Onkyo ND S1 Ipod Dock I just bought an iPAD. Can you tell me the USB adaptor you bought, and where you bought it?TIA | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Your room is large enough for almost anything.The difference in speaker size is not that great. The HL5 should have more bass than the M30. The M30 with a high quality sub (REL?) would be a better comparison, and might beat out the HL5. | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig I would buy a full subscription to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and maybe upgrade my cables! | |
| Ohms law? Thanks for the valuable input. The speakers are Harbeth which are promoted as being easy for most amps to drive (stable load?).I will try both taps, and may the force be with you! |
