| MF A5 vs Hegel h190 Not powerful enough?My MF A5 driving my ATC SCM11v2s could send the neighborhood children scurrying home in fear and terror when I cranked some Sabbath. | |
| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range Here's a tidbit I found out from Luxman America regarding the L-509X...it's a hybrid Class A,A/B doing the first 6 watts (8 ohms) as Class A.From an email reply I got from Luxman:[quote] ...the Luxman L-509x is an excellent amplifier. It is consi... | |
| MF A308 vs newer integrateds Just anecdotal, but I upgraded last year from a MF A5 integrated to a used Luxman L-509x just over your budget.Current speakers are ATC SCM11v2s and there was a noticeable upgrade to the sonics going from the A5 to the 509x. | |
| Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh OP - what do you hear/mean when you say that the Magnum is 'clearly struggling with the speakers and room dimensions'?Going the opposite way with power with your short list seems counter productive. | |
| Musical Fidelity / B&W bad match? Gotta disagree with whatever you were reading.MF and B&W match up well.I’ve heard these paired successfully at various audio shows with impressive results.And I had my own B&Ws matched to a MF A5 integrated for many years; great combo. | |
| TV Mounted above fireplace mantel - neck strain? Neck strain or eye strain (having to look ’up’ from straight ahead) will be a function of screen center height, viewing distance, and viewing angle(any upward angling of the eye).I don’t have my big screen over the fire place, but I do have it wal... | |
| Left and right subwoofers with integrated I'm looking at a picture on-line of the back of the M6Si integrated.It has L and R preouts.Am I missing something? | |
| Any love for Musical Fidelity integrateds? Been very happy with my MF A5 integrated for years; built like a tank, plenty of grunt and power, but neutral presentation top to bottom. | |
| Integrated advice for B&W 705's Before upgrading to ATC SCM11v2s, I ran with the B&W CDM1NTs (which are of the same 'family), paired with a used Musical Fidelity A5 integrated amp.They paired wonderfully; the A5 had great grip, control, and grunt of power that the B&Ws r... | |
| Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 @bradpaton Do you have any other remotes you use in your audio setup?I have a MF A5 Int Amp in a hybrid HT/Music setup and it, too will change inputs - but I traced it down to when I use my cable remote for changing channels.I know this is a bit o... | |

| How to find the good CD recordings? Regarding the LZ CDs in all their incarnations I don’t think there is a unanimous approval for any of them.Reading all the threads on various forums you get recommendations for all of them.The key is to find posters with preferences and systems li... | |
| Convergent Audio - New Dealer in NM Taos, NM.I suppose they picked that to be 'central' to the Rocky Mtn area, and maybe the richer clientele in the Santa Fe/Taos area.I wish them all the best. | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? My experience has been that a noisy record will remain a noisy record with an RCM, Ultrasonic, or any combo thereof.I’ve taken problematic samples to my local B&M audio store with an ultrasonic cleaner with detergent bath and air blow dry cycl... | |
| HT Bypass on preamp Yup - and I like it that way. I've spend quite a bit of time doing listening tests and lows on both sounds better.Even using a meter and test tone CD, I get a flatter in room response this way as well.ymmv |
