| Mini Maggie Office System 08-30-12: SonanceI checked out the Marantz, seems like a nice component, although my first impression of the brand is mid-fi, but that may be just preconception.DO NOT make that assumption about this Marantz amp. Marantz makes quality mid-fi stuff... | |
| REL G2 or JL Audio F112 ..thoughts for 2 channel Sonus Faber makes a Cremona Subwoofer M. I wouldn't spend my money until I'd heard the Cremona M/Subwoofer M combination.However, the Cremona sub is pricey at $7500 list. So otherwise I'd be looking at the JL. I think they're way ahead of the comp... | |
| Cartridge opinions: New stylus, or new cart? Good question, Viridian. The stock effective mass of the Technics arm is 12g, the same as an RB300/301. To hit that 12g, Technics uses a 7.5g headshell. Try finding one that light on the aftermarket. I have a 12g Sumiko headshell and a 14g LPGear ... | |
| Mini Maggie Office System I heard them with a Peachtree too. Their electronics are certainly good enough to make the mini-maggies sound good. But I would go with the Marantz PM8004. That is just an incredibly clean, quiet, resolving, and musical integrated amp. If you spen... | |
| What is the best loudspeaker for a small room? 08-29-12: Highendav123I aggree with the above. DOn't get speakers that are to big but get ones that fit the room....Generally good advice; it's not easy to dial back a big-sounding speaker in a smaller room. Fortunately there are some floorstandin... | |
| Magnepan Bass, Dynamics and Subwoofers Indoor voices, please. :-P | |
| Looking for foam surrounds for SD 300ti You might find this thread helpful. I think this is the McPeak Sound that the OP was talking about.Also, these might fit. | |
| 2 channel system advise. Compared to what's coming out these days, the DAC-1 is getting long in the tooth. The Sept. issue of Stereophile did a comprehensive review of the Musical Fidelity V-DAC mk ii and--decoding via asynchronous USB--jitter was pretty much non-existent... | |
| What is the best loudspeaker for a small room? 8x10 is a small room. Your room is almost triple that and should be able to easily accommodate a mid-sized floorstander such as the Monitor Audio Silver RX6, the PSB Synchrony Two T, Magnepan 1.7 plus a small sub, Mirage OMD-15, Totem Hawk or Stta... | |
| how make your speker faster Back to the original question: speakers AYON DRAGON-SHow i can make that speaker a little "faster" or more dynamic ?Does some sort of spikes will help to move the sound in the direction of faster ?Are any other method maybe help here like the vert... | |
| how make your speker faster 08-27-12: InpepinnovationsThanks Al, I guess all that process control math (Laplace transforms etc.) has conditioned me (I have a Chemical Engineering degree)to only think in the frequency domain. :)And that, I think, is where some of the communic... | |
| how make your speker faster 08-26-12: UnsoundKeep in mind that the Quads that can produce a credible square wave do so due to the concentric wiring that disperses the wave form in a timely manner. ... and that's what's demonstrated by good step response. Perfect step respons... | |
| Focal diablos vs Dynaudio focus 380 PLEASE HELP My general impression is that the Dynaudio Focus is a very excellent speaker that is pretty much full range, whereas the Diablo Utopia gives you the state of the art from around 65 Hz on up. Here's an interesting review of the Diablo which toward ... | |
| Phono Pre-Amp Questions Another thumbs-up for the Jolida JD9.With its full-size chassis and grown-up power supply, the Jolida starts with a good foundation and adds an immense range of gain, capacitance, and resistance settings. Being able to dial in *just* the right cap... | |
| $500 sub for Quad 11L2s Although the OP has made his decision, for others interested in this application, the Mirage MM8 or its identical twin Energy ESW-M8 are ideal companions for a 2-channel music-only system for mini-monitors. I have a pair of the MM8s paired with so... |
