| Covering a TV behind your speakers? I’ve heard a couple of folks say the audio sound field is in front of the TV, thus no effect, so no worry about reflections from the TV behind it. How, exactly, does that theory work with my MMGs? Or any other bipolar speaker that radiates sound f... | |
| M&K Bookshelf 75 or Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 ? ......anyone? | |
| Parasound P6 Volume control increments. FWIW, I have a P5 running into a B&K EX-442 Sonata and the volume control acts similarly. The control knob (no digital display on the P5) typically sits at 12 o'clock - the P5's halfway point - before things really open up. Depending on the ... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? I like the design of the REL subwoofers. Rythmik would also be another option. I bought a Rythmik F12G from an A'gon member a few years ago. He told me something about setting it up that was spot on and relates to the earlier reference to ti... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Les McCann and Eddie HarrisSwiss Movement “Live at Montreaux Festival” I just sold a R2R version of that not long ago. Great jazz. Alvin Lee/Ten Years Later "Ride On". "ZZ Top’s First Album". Jaco’s self-titled debut "Jaco Pastorius". Yes, "The Y... | |
| Power Conditioners I'm rural, and my area is subjected to power spikes, dips and outages. Some years ago I bought a Belkin PF60 (https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-belkin-pure-av-silver-series-pf-60-ac-filter) for the surge protection, not any power "con... | |
| confused and don't know what to do “here is my advice. Get a preamp with home theatre bypass. Plug all youR music sources into this preamp. Get a badass two channel amp for the front speakers. Get as good of a multi channel amp for the other speakers.”This is what I, too, did. I g... | |
| Your favourite music movie? Just about anything from Quentin Tarantino - especially "Reservoir Dogs". | |

| What is a lowball offer? How low is low? My father sold cars for 35 years (Pontiacs from mid-60s to mid-70s was his heyday). I referenced the Blue Book once upon a time while talking to him about cars (which, oddly enough, we seldom talked in any detail about). He said "you can take a Zi... | |
| Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? +3 or 4 for "Friday Night In San Francisco". Best acoustic trio performance I’ve ever seen and/or heard. Youtube video of the concert doesn't do it justice. Haven't seen any other."Chester and Lester" is good stuff. I’m a Grant Green fan, as of ... | |
| Amp for nee LRS Maggies I run my MMGs through a B&K EX-442 Sonata. Dual mono design with balanced inputs, it puts out 350 wpc into 4 ohms. Works wonderfully with my Maggies, and can be had for $400-$500.A very well-respected amp with lots of current. | |
| Moderately priced audio Count me among the lower-budget audiophiles, one who takes great pleasure in continuously tweaking my sub-$5,000 system to get the best out of it for not alot of money, and enjoying my music collection through it. Every small tweak in cables, most... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations +1 for Rythmik. My FG12 marries very nicely with my MMGs. Highly adjustable, plenty of power. Highly recommended. | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? +1 for Rythmik. Exceptional value, highly adjustable, very musical. I love my FG12. With its own adjustability, it integrates seamlessly with my Maggie MMGs through a Parasound P5 preamp. |
