| Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7? Wondering what the op ended up with and what his thoughts are. | |
| Special Event June 29th Scottsdale, AZ Speakerfest!!!!!!! Any follow up on what you heard and thought. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I have a pair of Maggie 3.7i in a 12x15 room with a sub it will blow you away. The smaller Maggie’s would be fantastic too. | |
| Pondering a Speaker Upgrade I've found that Magnolia, Best Buy is a very poor place to audition equipment usually not set up well and sales staff don't really know their product. Maybe you can find another store or someone in the area to have a good listen. | |
| Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement I believe moving them definitely changed the sound. After reading Jim Smiths book I moved my 3.7 4" more from the wall brought them 2 " closer together on each side and placed wood shims under the rear to angle slightly forward and preceive a big ... | |
| Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement Yes years ago I had 901's hanging and they would swing from the air output on cuts from dark side of the moon or dd organ lps. | |
| Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ? I was lucky enough to find a copy in the library, many excellent tips. I did improve my listening with his speaker placement info. | |
| BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost? Playing with speaker placement absolutely free, if you don't find improvement you can always replace to original location. | |
| How to tell if some one legit Research get name, phone, address Google search to verify info. This will also usually give you some info on the other party. I don't change equipment much so I've only done about 12 deals many in cash and so far so good. | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? 8000+ lps 2000+ cds, will never get to relisten to them all but keep buying, there is still a thrill to holding that new baby in your hands sitting down relaxing and enjoying some new sounds. | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) Have you given the Parasound Integrated any thought, great sound plenty of power good phono pre and class A syereophile rating. | |
| Pass Labs 150.8 and XP-20 versus PrimaLuna Dialogue Premier HP integrated Also have the 250.8 with the xp10 matched with Maggie 3.7i a great amp pre combo. No plans for any changes | |
| What the...have I just done ? Please explain... Knukonceptz also offers fantastic banana plugs that are the only ones i could find to accept my 8 guage cable. Excellent contact. | |
| Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps I'll give it a listen but have found many of his lps were not recorded to audiophile standards. | |
| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... You maybe able to get by with a single sub for the 1.7i , I also can't imagine going with a smaller Maggie will satisfy. I hate the idea of spending more on subs than on my main speakers. |
