| Best $1k pair of floor standing speakers? Hello Gitarretyp I see you really like the Eminents. I talked to Bruce Thigpen for an hour or so a couple of months ago. I still haven't had the chance to listen to his speakers yet thou. Hard to locate them setup. Most people don't know he holds ... | |
| 2ch HT spkr: Aerial 7B; Dyn S3.4; or Solil 6.3? The Sols 6.3s really don't need much power...oh man will they rock out thou! I felt no need to have a sub on when I ran these fullrange. This is one manufacture that didn't play with the specs to much. These speakers certainly get down to the mid ... | |
| Best $1k pair of floor standing speakers? What about some Soliloquy 5.3s. Retail for 2200.00 can be had for $990.00 new. I don't think the best exists but these are darn good. It was a Class B recommended speaker by Stereophile. | |
| What speakers would make sense with a 110w SS amp? My vote is for Magnepans.Depending on how far you listen from the speakers and the model of the Maggies you pick,this will be the determining factor of the power you need. Maggies impedance is a steady load and more efficient than one might think.... | |
| Amp for Vienna Acoustic Mozart speakers I am going to agree with Jmcgrogan on this. Don't dig yourself a money pit trying to make a speaker do things it really isn't the best at.No speakers perfect but you can find a speaker with the qualities you seek without dropping 5k.I have an audi... | |
| best for home theater? revel or aerial acoustics? Get yourself the new Deftecs BP7000sc series if you want HT. These are meant for HT and have few peers if your planning to spend that kind of money.I beg to differ on Revels being built like tanks... you must mean the F50 on up. Below that they ar... | |
| Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6 How about some Monarchy SE-160s hybrid monoblocks. I've seen these as low as $1800.00 a pair. May add some sweetness to the Thiels.Good Luck! | |
| What is the warmest receiver... Denon ,Yamaha and Rotel are pretty close from what I have heard in this area. Maybe Rotel edges the others by a hair ..who knows thou!Good Luck! | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Ok cool!!! I was thinking of using 4 channels of my Panasonic. Similar to Newform Research setup. I know the Behringer has Zero attack limiters on all output channels. This is supposed to protect the speakers to a degree...Man I sure hate to put t... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Eldartford..can you get the same results buy using a Behringer DCX2496 Ultra Drive Pro Digital Crossover System? This only cost around $350.00 new. I am curious if I can use this and do away with the on board crossovers completely. Looks pretty co... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Eldartford..no the 2.5R is a two way design. Here's a general spec sheet of the differences in Magnepans former and current models.http://www.integracoustics.com/MUG/MUG/articles/speakers.htmlPlease keep me informed of what components you find tha... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Eldartford... I couldn't help myself ..had to remove the fuses and bypass the resistor. The 2.5Rs sound like a totally different speaker.Someone needs to design a fuse that doesn't diminish the sound quality.Until then I guess I will be riding the... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs Magnepan MG-1 Question.. Eldartford have you bypassed the fuses and the tweeter attenuator all together on the Maggies ? If you have changed the binding post..where did you get the uprades from? I may just send everything to the Tireguy and let him deal with it... | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 I would lose the Silver ICs or speaker cables.Go with some pure copper ICs.Digital amplifiers don't need the added emphasis in the higher freqs that silver gives... Had to do this myself. Silvers pretty good when using tube amps not so good on dig... | |
| What qualities do you look for in a good amp? I like the ones that just get out of the way.This is one that changes the signal the least from input to output. I like the romantic sound but not on every recording.Quiet is a major plus...no hum in the speakers. So far the ones that seem to do t... |
