Murgeshj I experienced the 'boominess' in the early days of my 2.5's but it hasn't  been an issue after 200 or 300 hrs. May be my ears were 'trained' to get used to the sound :) I saw your posts on YouTube and I think the 2.5'a may not be the best...

Murgeshj I am glad that you've found a pair of speakers that you like. The best part of our hobby is that there is no single correct answer to all of us.  I'm still happy with my 2.5's. I think I will sell them one day just like what I did with th... 
Speaker designs such as Magico & YG vs. older Avalons, etc.?
It depends on a lot things. For instance what electrics you have and what kind of music you like. For the 'New School' speakers, I have auditioned YG Carmel, Magico S1, S5 and Wilson Sasha, Sabrina, Sophia. Among those I've auditioned, Magico S5 i... 
Recommendations for IC and speaker cable
I second the Clear Day cables. I recently moved from Anticables Level 3 speaker cables to the Clear Day Double Shotgun. A big improvement on the overall sound quality on my system.   
Dac Suggestions for Rega System
I've been using Rega DAC-R for a while before I switched to W4S DAC2 then Hegel HD25. The Rega DAC-R is very musical just like the other Rega products. Since the digital world evolves so fast, the DAC's have become much affordable nowadays. I'd su...

I still enjoy the sound of my MB-25's after almost a year since I purchased them. As a former owner of Maggie and Martin Logan speakers, the best I could describe the MB-2.5's sound is they sound like like a pair of Maggie's plus some quality bass... 
recommendations on a good used cd player for under $750
Try Rega Planet or Apollo. I sold my Rega Planet not long ago for $250 which I paid almost $1,000 when I bought it. It worked perfectly and sound very natural.

The Scansonic sound is quite additive when everything is setup right. I have about 500 hours on my 2.5's and they sound great. Upgraded my DAC and power cord recently and my system's sound continues to improve.

Davegoodrich, I bought my MB-2.5's from Alfred without listening to them first. Luckily there were Audiogon members like Xti16 who advised me during the initial setup and break-in period. I like my MB-25's a lot and they sound way above their pric... 
are magnepan mmg any good and intergrated amp suggestion for them
I owned a pair of MMG's before and I loved them. They do need to be placed a few feet away from the back wall with a little bit of toe-in to sound properly IMO. The sweet spot is narrow due to the design of these speakers. A pair of after-market s...

Has anybody auditioned the MB-6's? If so, would you mind of sharing your experience?  
Audio Art S-3SE interconnects
Want to correct the model. They IC's are supposed to be IC-3SE. Sorry about the confusion. Great sounding cables regardless of my typos :)

Murgeshj,Glad to know that you enjoy your 2.5's. The 2.5's could be a little bit short in the mids as you said. I found that can be compensated by cables. Several interconnects I tried sounded very detailed and dynamic but too lean when they're pa...

I don't think there's a simple answer to the cable selection question. It depends on the whole system from end to end. And some times the answer could be subjective. I try not to over spend on cables since I believe majority of the investment shou...

I know it sounds unreal to the 'non audiophiles' that cables make difference. You can find a lot of debates if you google the related subjects. Cables do make significant difference in my system. Even the USB cable. Yes, a lot of people criticize ...
