| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? @schubert That is good info.I still remember Maggies from years past. I never thought they were lacking in dynamic range, but if newer models can plumb greater depths, then I owe it to myself to have another listen.B | |

| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black One of the reasons I moved to the Treo's was those honking Sound Anchor stands on the 3a sigs.@tomic601 If the speakers are 3a sigs, then they are the current model. I know Mr. V constantly upgrades his speakers, so if they have a higher serial nu... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Holy Cow!- Considering that your speakers are far more efficient than my Vandy Treo's, you have me thinking about adding a pair. I recall Steve McCormack saying that the Zero's do make a difference, even with Solid State.Bob | |

Mine were closer together, but far from the rear walls. The sound was excellent. A lot depends upon your room.FWIW, if you can get a pair of Treo's, i... | |
| Would adding a second subwoofer overpower my room? Nope, you will accomplish what you desired- to eliminate room nodes and improve focus.B | |
| Floorstanding towers Vandy fanboy reporting in again...I third Vandersteen, mostly because you mention the Martin Logan.ProAc also comes to mind, but may be a bit beyond your price range unless you can find used.Are you near any dealers? That would be my first way to ... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @mr_m Yes, I know, I was just being sarcastic.But, sometimes, I think we are chasing our tails looking for the 'ultimate' upgrade and forget that we are so far ahead sound-wise, and forget how fortunate we are.Bob | |
| thinking of switching from conrad johnson...... Steve McCormack is still upgrading the older McC's.He is basically creating a new amp. I am having a pair of DNA-1's converted to monoblocks as we speak.He is at SMcAudio.Bob | |
