| McIntosh to Luxman? TMR has a 14 day return policy. I assume I’m on the hook for return shipping, should I decided against the Luxman. Shipping is not cheap, but hey, getting a really cool piece of equipment to try out sounds like fun! Thanks again guys. ~ Jerry | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Thanks guys. I really appreciate your input. I like the comparison of McIntosh to a muscle car. Very appropriate! I do appreciate the “tonally rich” sound of my MA252. It sounds like the Lux is a totally different animal altogether. The Mc has qua... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @erik_squires Thanks for the input! I saw your posts from a few years ago about your Luxman. I was hoping you'd chime in. 😀 My only concern is that I've regretted selling equipment in the past. If the Luxman is the one, then the McIntosh has to ... | |
| After the thrill is gone Agree with all the responses regarding Maggies. Recently tried floor-standing (floor sitting?) Klipsch Heresies. Not my cup of tea. Kept my 1.7s and sold the Klipschs. I’m quite happy with that decision. | |
| Punchy integrated with DAC Thanks @hoytis. I hadn't thought about PS Audio. I'll do some research on that unit. I see that Music Direct has a factory refurb Marantz PM6005 Integrated with the appropriate DAC input for $525. I've not listened to Marantz gear in a while,... | |
| Thrift store bargain @stereo5 Ha ha…Savers is where I bought the BluRay player. I don’t go there much. Like you, I have no room for used electronics in my house, but I could not pass on this one. | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube @pesky_wabbitGood call. Anything by BJM is worth watching and/or listening to. | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube Here are some of my favorites: Santana, Soul Sacrifice, live at Tanglewood. The band and the audience are really feeling it. Grand Funk, Inside Looking Out, live 1969. Super tight, three very solid players. Skip James, Crow Jane, live somewhere ... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Meh...mumbo jumbo. I’d rather be listening to music, going for a walk, drinking wine, or visiting my local record store, than spending hours or days trying to prove/disprove a very subjective matter. Let your ears decide; it’s that simple. My ear... | |
| Your favorite 'concept' album I’ll echo the votes for Queensryche, including the Empire album. The Wall is also a favorite. | |
| Negotiate good price This has been the best read. Thanks. US and A! High five. | |
| Maggies to Tekton? Hey, thanks again everyone for your advice, comments, etc. Much appreciated. Here’s a photo of my listening/living room. Very soon, I’ll have a finished basement to equipment with audio gear. I have stuff laying around, so no sweat at all. 😀 ~ Jer... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @pure_dave, bass in my set-up is next to nothing unless I crank the bass control on my McIntosh. Even then, I wouldn’t call it powerful or dynamic. I’m talking about the Maggies without the powered subs, so maybe it’s a moot point. My old 250 wpc... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @lpretiring, thanks for the comments. I’d like to spend less than a grand, hence my focus on the Lore Mini or Lore Reference. I’m just dipping my toe into the waters of efficient, dynamic speakers. If I had $3k or $4k to spend, the OBSpatials woul... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @david_ten, thanks for the info! |
