| Maggies...Measured Amp Power Requirements Was Jvogt's improvement strictly due to the increase in power or the refinements brought on in Madrigal's amplifier design between the 27.5 and the 335? What exactly improved? .... less strain, more openness, more dynamics, etc. Details here would... | |
| Maggies...Measured Amp Power Requirements Controversial indeed. Ah nuts, why didn't I think to do the same experiment with my pair of JL-3 Sigs which have been driving a pair of Maggie 3.5s until tonight when a pair of Soundlab A1s arrived. With the 3.5s sidelined I just have no desire to... | |
| Is there a audiophile bible? The Harley book is a great starting point for someone brand new to this hobby. The forums here and on AudioAsylum are far more valuable to get ideas, advice and solutions to one's specific situation. | |
| Help. A box beats my Maggie I think the two Phil* posts above bring some valid points here. And yes the Maggies have dynamic constraints compared to other systems but we already know this. Magnepans are owned because of their other qualities that far exceed much of the compe... | |
| Amp help for the Maggies? This is one of those threads we can go over and over. The biggest problem I see with the Magnepan speakers is that they put out so much musicality for the money. But their dynamic weakness forces many of us to try and get more and more punch out o... | |
| Amp help for the Maggies? Greg, just out of curiosity, what is the "bad information out there" that you reference. Perhaps the Magnepans 30 years ago were easy to drive but this is just not the case today with the Series 3. The biggest mistake I read here over and over is ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? The CAT JL-3 Signatures are the end of the road for me. They are rated at "only" 150w but this is very misleading compared to the rating of many other amplifiers I have tried on Magnepan series 3 speakers. Of course the JL-3s are a lot of amp to u... | |
| Ever used hybrid power amps? Hello,I have owned a Counterpoint NPS400 for a few years now. What a great sounding amp at an incredible price for driving Magnepan speakers. It has a most neutral tonal balance with no fatigue at all for long listening sessions. It only gives up ... | |
| BAT preamp owners Lvk, everything here gets mixed reviews....all the way up to the super-fi gear here. So much comes down to personal preferences and different compromises that each of us takes in our quest for musical enjoyment. So don't discard BAT gear because p... | |
| CES 05 Man oh man, everyone here is doing such a phenomenol job reporting on the show. Great information being shared.John | |
| CES 2005 Initial impressions... Wow, what a great report on the MBLs. | |
| amps to match Magnepan MG3.6 Spkrs Hello,As an owner of Maggie series 3 speakers for about 6 years, I have owned many amps, ARC VT-130, ARC CL-150, Counterpoint NPS400, Wolcott and heard Bryston, BelCanto with these speakers. Yes, more powerful amps in the 200+w range are an absolu... | |
| CES 2005 Initial impressions... Thank you for the excellent report. With the detailed coverage, it was almost like being there.John | |
| Upgrade or sell ARC LS-15 ? Good Boy Ken! | |
| Audio Research D-115 MKIII tube amp.. Mk III? This status must be due to some rebuilding by ARC since this amp's discontinued production in the mid 80s. To my knowledge, the D70, D115 and D250 only got a Mk II status with the D250 then getting a "Servo" update. The D250 had many repor... |
