| Buying from Parts Connexion @noromance You know the saying if no prices are listed........ | |
| Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers Roxy I figured it was old and kinda funny. And too bad it sounds like you have an excellent system. Gazing longingly at audioporn is one of my favorite pursuits. | |
| Amp recommendation -- McIntosh, Luxman, Yamaha Out of that group I would definitely say Luxman. | |
| Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers @roxy54 You should post your system! For your system it says Where's Tvad if you just look up you will see him. ;D | |

| Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers I personally love hornspeakers and Viking Acoustics looks very interesting. I don't doubt it was an excellent ear opening audition. And very nice of David to let you bring some of your own gear in to use. | |

| 300b INTEGRATED AMP Suggestions Just a couple weeks ago I heard a Cary 300 CAD-300SEI powering a pair of custom horn speakers and sounding really excellent. If you can look for a used unit from the Dennis Had era at Cary distinguishable by the old Cary logo. | |
| Is it worth fixing my clear audio concept @charlessinchuk is the place in Asheville, agreed with @tomic601 great town, a Clearaudio dealer? If it’s just a random repair place they might not do wiring upgrades. | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio A good system will extract the essence of poor recordings, they may not sound better but you should be more involved in them if that makes any sense? BTW look at good sounding high current SS amps for your Maggies and congrats on the new speakers! |
