| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? I have a pair. If you're referring to Maggies. I had a similar experience. True active bi-amping made a world of difference on these. I assumed it was because the crossovers are quite old. | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? you likely need a hearing checkup indeed. That or your sources/amplification are not that revealing. Or perhaps I just need to chill out when I see something egregious like this comment yet meaningless in the grand scheme of things. You do rea... | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? Invariably, you’ll encounter some who will claim that Maggies are as detailed as any speaker when powered properly. I’d question the experience level of those who postulate such. My bet is they haven’t heard a good beryllium dome or a RAAL tweete... | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. I think the OP made a good choice in a one box solution. His original dilemma was, not being a digital guy, he needed something simple, but to match the rest of the gear that either meant higher than $2500 budget or going up the learning curve of ... | |
| The problem with streaming Streaming is for lazy people. This is a ridiculous comment to make, even more absurd to be repeated three times. As though deliberately making something more difficult on one's self is a sign of being industrious. And flipping a record isn't... | |
| Please settle a bet! When I was a less enlightened child one of my pastimes was to get a shovel full of red ants from a nest and plop it down on a black ant nest and watch the battle. This post... | |
| What is Tight Bass? But be careful folks. I tightened the bass so much the treble popped out and broke on the floor! Well I thought that was funny but it's pretty early on a Saturday morning. Anyway, I have 3-series Maggies and those actually pump out beautifully... | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? OP, by your description of how you came to purchase the gear, I am going to assume you are somewhat new to the pursuit of higher end audio. While there may be some merit to the cable suggestions, I would suggest you put that aside from a budgetar... | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information The irony of many of these posts seems to be lost on the posters. I think “Thyname” refers to Iron Maiden, not religion. it seems there are many who want an echo chamber with no indication of deviation from the party line. There are quite a few... | |

| How many systems do you have? 4 in my study, 1 downstairs in main house. 3 in lake house. Then outside speakers, whole house stuff, etc. | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Martin Logan Sequels. Smallest sweet spot ever. Move your head 2 inches and it sounded like you put a bag over it. Thin, brittle sound. MLs may have some good speakers but those were not it. | |
| Computer to DAC with no USB Looks like you are headed in the right direction with a USB-to-SPDIF converter. There are a number of them on the market that work well. Also, if budget permits and you are using software that supports streaming (Roon, Tidal, Amazon) them somethin... | |
| the cart or the horse? WAIT! Let's not spend all your money yet. You've got a small room, near field. People like your speakers. Your components are not anywhere near top end but for the most part they are a reasonable match (preamp seems weakest but it's not an AVR... | |
| Your method for discovering great music. Roon is built for discovery. Definitely a good place to start. But beware, it's a rabbit hole that includes overbuilding gear and a large amount of network troubleshooting. Roon's first answer to any user problem is "it's your network." You co... |
