Mag 3.6R or 20.1 , Sanders & Montana EPS2
Bob,I never heard Innersound, so I can't say the new one is any better... but sure blew my mind away!Just like Maggie's fan, those who like Roger's speakers swears that his speakers are the best.And Roger back up his babies with life time gurantee...

Hi 605 hifi,Yes, I trust my judgement. Afterall, I AM the one who will listen and enjoy the music, not the critics.But I do respect other Audiophiles with great knowledge in audio, especially those who have similar taste bud as mine.=====Russ,Hmmm...

Hi Shakey,Thanks for your input on this - good to hear from someone who had both Maggie and Montana.Forgive me for my ignorance... but what is "boxy coloration" ?Since you liked Maggie and Montana, you and I seem to have similar taste in speakers.... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Oh well, this thread started exactly 8 years ago !Dollar value have changed... $5K in today's value would be almost $10KI think the most difficult part is STICKING to your original budget plan :O)Yes, I have failed on this, too.I plan to spend 40%... 
SHOW attendees: please post speaker reports here
Only attended Flamingo THE show... so very limited view here...Absolutely loved two speakers.PBN Montana ESP 2 & Sanders (former Innersound) model 10.Roger Sanders speaker's pure & clear sonic sound blew my mind away. The image was so clea... 
The Hub: Viva Las Vegas!
This is what I hear from taxi driver and exhibitors - Better than last year.Of course if he is comparing to 2 years ago, it is still WAY off. 
Help me chose: Verity - PBN Montana - Gemme Audio
PNB Montana.Just came back from Las Vegas and PBN Montana was one of my two top pick at the Flamingo "THE show".The other was Sanders (previous Innersound), but in your case, I think you will enjoy Montana more... 
CES 2010 and THE SHOW
Hi Mac,Glad you started this thread.I only attended Flamingo show.Two sound system really blew my mind; These two gave me the goose bumps...Sanders Speakers (Roger Sanders, previous Innersound designer) and PBN/Montana EPS 2 speakers with EDGE amp... 
The Hub: Viva Las Vegas!
Drubin,thanks for correction on Mag.The Mag was the main reason I came to the show - I guess I was expecting too much...I went there 3 times, too. Couldn't get in one time, though.Sencond time it was much better... the music came out alive instead... 
The Hub: Viva Las Vegas!
THE show report.The main reason I came was to see Bryston and Magnepan combo presentation. However, I was quite disappointed by their set up.I was hope to see Maggie 3.6 or 20.1 with various Bryston's amp such as 4BSST & 14BSST.But they only m... 
Which Preamp will go well with Mag 3.6R ?

Which Preamp will go well with Mag 3.6R ?
Guess I should check out parasounds, too.I listened Mag 3.6R with Ayre MX-R, which was nice... but a bit too expensive.Yesterday, I learned that Magnepan and Bryston will exhibit at T.H.E. show in Las Vegas (Yes, in same room, I think that means t... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Hyundai Genesis V8I can't believe Hyundai (who used to make cheap cars) made this car !What do I like the most?The Lexicon stereo system !Awesome, far better than Lexus. 
Which Preamp will go well with Mag 3.6R ?
ONE more dumb question :Then, can I use TWO 4BSST instead of ONE 14BSST?Can I use two 4Bsst to double up power? 
Which Preamp will go well with Mag 3.6R ?
Macdadtexas,>>> 7BSST's (really the same thing as the 14bsst) >>I jsut noticed this,,,7BSST is almost same as 14BSST???I can get 7B at half the price of 14B. (actually the 7B is the same price as 4B !)So 7BSST will do fine?
