| Using the Magnepan 1.7i with two REL S/812 Subs I used to have some 3.5R's. They sounded wonderful and ran with a sub. The preamp came with the sub out, so no external xover. I loved the sound. If you listen to Rubber Soul and some of the other Beatles recordings, you can hear people talkin... | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh I have some Sonus Faber Concertos that were linked to a McIntosh C220 along with a MC7270. Sounds wonderful. Did the same and swapped the MC7270 for a Audio Research VS55. I personally liked the tube sound much more. Did the swap with a Thres... | |
| Tough amp decision @stereo5 I would sell it, but sometimes you just gotta have that perfect drive, down the middle of the fairway. I've tried selling in the past and it never goes well for me. I miss what I sell, so unfortunately I have become an accumulator. If ... | |
| Tough amp decision I may upset some people by saying this but McIntosh, if you were to compare it to golf, I have found McIntosh, to always be a beautiful 230 yard drive straight down the middle of the fairway. There is no slice, no hook, the flight path is perfect... | |
| Where to spend my money... Given what you listen to, I would be tempted to part from solid state completely. That said, I believe you will get more bang for your buck, for making a departure from your current sound, by changing the amp. I love the Audio Research sound but... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... Trust your ears and not the hype. That said, I was on a plane once and got talking to the guy next to me. He was the bass player for the David Nelson band. He lived in Hawaii and a neighbor was Willie Nelson. I don't believe it was Pete Sears ... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Shane MacGowan. Sounds like he's just swallowed draino and yet has the most tone perfect and musical delivery you've ever heard in a drinking song. Absolutely love him. Bartender, pour me another. | |
| Meridian dSP7200 questions The important thing with the Meridian is using the digital connections and nothing in analog. I believe the 808.2 has digital input for an external source and a source selector? If so, that is how I would do things. I believe all the amp and da... | |
| Please join this poll!!! I use firefox and audiogon comes up first. Interesting to note, if other browsers have different pushes. | |
| the beginning of home acoustics of the "D" series I guess I'm kind of funny. I like to see something stripped down and fully exposed. The link is nice and they are very handsome. Okay bottom end from a small box size. We get tweeter and woofer sizes and frequency response and box dimensions, ... | |
| ATI 4000 I have had 2 of the ATI 1502's and they are fast, full ranged and I thought sounded wonderful. I played with some B&W bookshelf speakers and then with some Magnepan 3.5's, Linn Kan's and some JBL 4312's. I have 2 son's and both were given a ... | |
| Threshold FET 9 / CAS1 vs Manley Stingray I would love to listen to what you have, bet it is awesome. I have a Cas2 that I love. Have listened to lots of Klipsch and love the sound. Here's my thoughts on amps and speakers. Different amp, same speakers, different sound. Vice versa and... | |
| Help Building an Audio Room Even if you do a great job of sound insulating the walls and ceiling, sound travels great through hvac air ducts. Learned that one the hard way. Good luck. | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? As McIntosh is now doing some China Hi-Fi with their name on it. Is this the trusted US made McIntosh or Chi-Fi? | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? Good suggestions above but trust your own ears first and foremost. Kind of like saying pick a liquid to drink. Some will say water, soft drinks, milk, others beer, wine, scotch, etc.. I for example like many of the above but for some reason hav... |
