Is Mcintosh mc2300 a good amp for Magnepan MG-IIIA
I haven't heard the combination you speak of.The Mac should power the MG3a's without problems.I believe it's 300 wpc channel which is plenty for the Maggies. You will have to find out for yourself if the combination works for you though.Oh yeah ha... 
Is the B&W Signature 805 less harsh than the N805?
Maybe you should just try a different speaker(manufacture).Maybe a Reference 3 A MM de Capo i or something along the line. Sometimes it's just the speakers plain and simple.Maybe they aren't your cup of tea.Not saying they are bad speakers but jus... 
Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers
Drubin no need to make excuses about liking this combo. It is a very good combo... as others have discovered. If you compare it to some other combos within in this price range and to some degree above you will discover it's a damn good combo! I wi... 
Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers
Yes Mborner you are missing something!!Where have you been for the last 6 months? LOLNo it is not the end to all sound.But the little Panny is pretty damn good.Especially if you like neutrality and high resolution with good PRAT. I have simplified... 
Upgrading what?
I don't think there's a wrong way. First I would find out exactly what sound I am looking for. This can only be achieved from listening to different equipment. I don't care how good your front end is supposed to be. You can't make a Paradigm sound... 
Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers
Ragan I have experimented both ways.I used a Tice Infinite speed power cord with great results. This power cord cost nearly twice what I paid for the Panny! I also tried a regular 18 gauge cord into the Powervar..along with the cd player plugged i... 
Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers
I have used the Panasonic on GMA Europas and my Magnepan 2.5Rs. I've ran it 4 weeks straight without turning off the Panasonic on my Maggies. There are a couple guys that post on Audioasylum that use the Panny with B&W 801s another uses Von Sc... 
what spkr do you suggest with a 12w /chanl amp ?
Here's a speaker that should match well with your amplifier.It is for sell right here on Agon Soliloquy SM-2A3. The asking price is $475.00 but the speaker retailed for over $1500.00 a pair. The SM-2A3 was designed by Dennis Had ( founder of Cary ... 
Which amp for Def's
Here's one to consider and you will have channels to spare . 7 channels x 200 into 8 ohms and 300 wpc into 4 ohms for $1799.00. At 90 lbs you may need a sturdy amp stand if not putting it on the floor.There's a thirty day money back guarantee ..I ... 
What amplifier for Magneplanar MG3 for less than ?
How about a used Spectron Musician II. This should do the trick . Or maybe a New Carver ZR series digital amplifier..then you can take the rest of the money you saved and spend it on other audio toys.Good Luck! 
Will I notice improvement with crossover mods?
I hear ya Eldartford..that's one reason I went with the Jantzen copper foil inductors. They are reasonably priced and claim to have almost zero FM distortion. They really opened up the Magnepans. It's tough to compare the stock Magnepan inductors ... 
Will I notice improvement with crossover mods?
Mitchb.. they are the same, PIO stands for Paper in Oil. The caps you have ordered are Silver PIO Mundorf Supremes.The next stepdown are the Mundorfs Supreme Mcap,3rd are Mundorf Mcap-Zn and 4th on the list are the original M-caps(the primary caps... 
Will I notice improvement with crossover mods?
Eldartford ..it looks like they use a different type of measuremnt for the zero ohm coils. I know you use 8 or 10 awg wire wound coils which are expensive. Not sure of the awg with the zero ohm coils... since they don't give any on the site..at le... 
Will I notice improvement with crossover mods?
Cool Mitchb ..we will have to talk my friend ! I am as excited about your upgrades as you are! I still plan on ordering some of those Silver PIO caps to go along with the Supremes I already have. I look forward to your update. 
Will I notice improvement with crossover mods?
Hey Eldartford did you check the prices of those zero ohm inductors? Man.. I just about fell off the couch! I think I will keep my Danish made copper foil air inductors for now! I thought mine were a little expensive... until I checked the same va...
