| Is a Sub worth the bother? Yes! You can find a good M&K sub on ebay if you look for them. Try one with at least 100 watts of power. You're also going to have to decide how to hook it up...using a crossover, or directly wired.A crossover will take the stress off your spe... | |
| McIntosh MC-501 vs McIntosh MC-1.2KW Hi, I know what you're going thru with this question....I have 1201's (same as 1.2kw's) and upgraded from the MC352. (and, am considering the 2kw) The sound was the same....just more ability to play loudly without "shouting" coming from the system... | |
| Best amplifier for Wilson Maxx 2's "Best" is such a hard thing to determine....My Maxx 2's sound great with a pair of McIntosh monoblocks (MC1201's).They are capable of driving them very loudly, but it all sounds pristine and undistorted....kinda bad for the hearing loss, though, b... | |
| What's best for Tannoy D-700s? Definitely Bi-wiring. Investigate bi-amping as well. There are articles on vertical bi-amping that you should investigate.Secondly, add some of the Tannoy Super-tweeters. They add a sense of presence that the D-700's alone do not posess. Better sp... | |

| Loricraft Record Cleaning In my opinion...there IS no drawback. The Loricroft produces better results. Plus, it is quieter.....quiet enough to listen to records on the turntable while cleaning. A BIG plus, in my book!Not cUmbersome at all. | |
| Warped Records The warp on one especially "Sex Machine" by James Brown, was warped badly enough to bounce my tonearm JMW 12.5 and cause audio distortions to the Lyra Titan-i.The VPI ring did help tame it immensely (the whole new Super Platter with HRX center wei... | |
| Loricraft Record Cleaning I posted earlier about not knowing whether the Loricraft would be worth the extra expense compared to the VPI 16.5...well, I still can't say much about that, but I can tell you that the cleaning process is much more pleasant and thorough. The addi... | |
| Review: Resolution Audio Opus 21 Great Northern Sound Mod CD Player I've recently replaced my Linn Ikemi with a Great Northern Sound's Reference-level modified Opus 21.Right out of the box (wooden crate), it was very obvious that the Linn was beaten hands down. It was as close to an A/B comparison as possible, hav... | |
| Warped Records Yes, the saga continues....just bought several records from Music Direct, and at least two of them were warped on the edge. These are NEW, 200 Gram EXPENSIVE records! I told them about it, and they gave me a return authorization number to ship the... | |
| Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker Well, it's not been quite a year since the above post, but the Maxx 2's must be pretty good because Wilson Audio hasn't felt the need to update them yet! :)What was the final decision- Dgad, did you keep your subwoofer in the system? Personally, I... | |
| Loricraft Record Cleaning I've just purchased a Loricraft (high power model) but have not used it yet. Sold a perfectly good (like new) VPI 16.5 just because I want to clean records and listen to records at the same time, and in the same room.The 16.5 is perfectly usable, ... | |
| Valhalla interconnects - recommended? Valhalls will add a leanness, more detail and more holographic imaging-at least they do that on front-end sources to pre-amp. The Jena Labs would be a better choice for you-but only the Dreamdancers beat Valhalla...not the lesser models. They have... | |
| Best MUSICAL subwoofer for Maxx 2's quality sound? My Maxx 2's aren't deficient in bass. I actually run them full-spectrum without any crossovers. The MX-5000 subwoofer also receives a full spectrum signal from my preamplifier (both channels) and I then use the cutoff on the sub to provide only 45... | |
| Best MUSICAL subwoofer for Maxx 2's quality sound? Ican't find EITHER of the two above mentioned references by Bob and Ras. Any help? |
