Maggie 20.1 and Marchand XM-44
The values I used for the 20.1 x-over are listed in the user manual (Section: #18). However, a range of frequencies for LP and HP will work depending on your room, etc.106Hz 6dB Low Pass250Hz 18dB High PassShould be ok also

Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
Interestingly, this debate is ongoing also on Audioasylum.com. Several posters accepted HP’s words as gospel. I was at that point as a new enthusiast in the so called “High End Audio” in 1976. In fact my first high end system mostly comprised of c... 
SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301
Mauidj:I noted in your earlier response that you were a pianist. The Oracle MKVI is excellent with piano music(contrary to Dover's comment). In terms of sheer musicality the Oracle MKVI (especially with the Granite base the new bearing and Micro V... 
Best speakers For ARC VT100MKII
Vdose:I have a similar combination of componenta (see my system on line). The VT100MKII will sound great with a number of speakers. It matches well with the magnepans (1.7, 3.5, 3.6). The B&W 803D would also be a good match. My room is medium ... 
Magnepan 3.7
Josh:The new 3.7s use as you stated the aluminum ribbon foil in the tweeter, but the quasi-ribbon is used only in the midrange. The bass panel still uses the planar magnetic driver.The 20.1 has a simillar configuration, except both the bass and mi...

Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II
DertonarmYour physics seems to be faulty here. Assuming that the counter weight is indeed firmly connected to the tonearm tube (which is always the case in a well designed pivoted arm), then, the effective mass of the arm must be dependent on the ...

20 amp cable for Shunyata hydra 8
I just installed the Python Helix Alpha on Saturday afternoon. It replaced a Taipan Alpha PC which fed my Hydra 8. I have less than 50 hours on the cable so my opinions are of course premature. However, my early impressions are very positive. Ther...

Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul:I agree with your basic thesis about using stereo pairs of subwoofer for improved performance in virtually all sonic categories. I note that you are proposing using a high pass filter to prevent the bass drivers from handling the lower freque...
