| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? @sls883 I’m in old Overland Park, not far from the downtown area. I used to frequent Sound F/X off the Plaza. Bought Maggie 1.6s from Rob the owner. Good guy, wish he was still around. Ever since Vinyl Renaissance closed, there’s nowhere to liste... | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? In the late 90s, I moved from Omaha to Kansas City. There was a retail shop in downtown KC called Primus Audio. I think the owner’s name was Al. Anyway, he let me demo some Marsh Sound Design equipment (amp + preamp). I didn’t know anything about... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? @sls883 hey I was there too! My mom took me lol. I was 9 or 10. By that time, Kiss had already “jumped the shark”, as the saying goes. Great memories though. Some guy offered my mom a hit off his joint. I saw a lot of great shows at the Civic Au... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @sidewinderrr hey never too late to the party! I’m on my 3rd integrated in about 2 years. I traded in the Luxman for a Vincent SV-500. Man, the Vincent just checks all the boxes for me at this point in my life. I sold the Luxman to pay some bills... | |
| Synergy @g2the2nd & @jond thanks! I get to work from home for the short holiday week, so music will be playing all day. Everyone enjoy the holiday...and the music! | |
| Synergy @bassbuyer Thank you! I got a good one (wife and sound system lol). | |
| Synergy @gdaddy1 Congrats sir! It sounds like you have your system dialed in. That’s what we’re all aiming for. Enjoy the music! | |
| Synergy @sls883, thank you!. Good to be content with our systems huh? Have a good one. | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Hey all, Happy Thursday! The MA252 was boxed and shipped to CO yesterday. No doubts and no regrets (yet). The Luxman is a really cool piece of gear. I'm still in the "get to know you" stage, and it's been a lot of fun! We'll be doing some const... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @decathlon1991 I've only had Maggies in the last 20 years. I owned Klipsch Heresy speakers for a few months, sold them and took a bath on the price. Oh well. My point is, I don't have much recent experience with "dynamic" speakers. However, I... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Back to my assessment of the Luxman... 1. The lady of the house says "Did you get a new stereo?" 😀😀 She thinks it looks really cool. 2. Build quality is top-notch. Dials feel great. Input dial moves from position to position with a nice "thw... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @vitussl101 Detail, imagine & impact. I think the Luxman nails it on all three fronts. One word comes to mind: Command…total control of my 1.7s. Snare hits have more impact and “bite” with the Luxman. The top end is more present and very smo... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Good evening. The Luxman arrived today. Got my streamer hooked up and listened for a few minutes. Then my lady says “hey, can you pick up some food?” Off to get Chinese. 😁 First impression…holy s***. So the Maggie’s CAN make some serious bass. ... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Update…Luxman ordered. 😁 I’ll check back in a week or so. Thanks to everyone. ~ Jerry | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Again, everyone, thanks for your feedback. It's much appreciated. @caphill ...yeah, a new streamer would be next on my list. I guess at the moment, I'm smitten with the Luxman amp. @woots ...thanks for the recommendation @audioman58...su... |
