| Planar speaker placement Magnepans have very little side wall reflections. They just need plenty of room behind them to build the soundstage depth. | |
| Totem Forest Signature Impressions Tidal HiFi subscription is a must with the Bluesound if you don't have it already. Masters with MQA will sound incredible through those Totems. Enjoy. | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... Legs on the coffee table and apart and directed to each speaker, wool thick socks with the toes at ear level and slightly bent inwards to guide the sound waves to the respective ear. Avoid holding glass mugs as they will make the room too bright. | |
| Salktower opinions Thanks for the input and the offer to listen. It looks like the ~$2K price range is a real sweet spot for speakers, new or used, and it could take while to pick one out, especially for someone who seems to hold on to them for a longtime. I envy fo... | |
| How do the Elac Uni-Fi UB5s compare to more expensive bookshelf speakers? I had a chance to hear Both UB5 and LS50 twice. The first time the LS50 was paired with a Primaluna integrated and it sounded incredible. I simply could not believe what was coming out of these little box speakers. I had a similar reaction when I ... | |
| Upgrade sugestion please yogiboy, are you using a sub with the Harbeths? Do you think they make decent bass on their own if placed near room corners, of course on stands? | |
| Voltage source vs. current source amplifiers Thank you Al, as always. I finally got it. | |
| PSB Synchrony One Speakers and Pass XA30.5 Amp Just like any other "which speaker" question, you'll get dozens of different responses. Make it more difficult, there's a whole another divide between classical and jazz content which tend to be polar opposites as far as speakers go. And to top th... | |
| Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna? Alright, well, consider yourself lucky. If the combo of the MC601s and Wilson Alexia sound no different (or better) than the Primaluna and the PSB T6, you just saved yourself enough money to buy a second (or third) car. Congratulations. | |
| Voltage source vs. current source amplifiers Thank you all for the education. "Regarding the McIntosh solid state amps that have identical maximum power ratings into 8, 4, and 2 ohms, paradoxically they are best considered to be voltage source amps". From my MC2200 manual:200 watts minimum c... | |
| Magneplanar MG 3.6 / R Here's the link to a local (to me) Magnepan dealer who is not only very knowledgeable but generally very helpful. See if he can order them for you. www.audioconnect.com | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... I think the most overlooked "room treatment " is the area front/between the speakers on the ceiling. Try the blanket treatment, especially if they are standard height, e.g. 8', etc., and near field listening arrangement. Helped my room to sound a ... | |
| Best powercables for Martin Logan 15A speakers My ML Aerius accepts standard (female) IEC plug. You can try different power cords but I have been told the MLs, at least the ones without powered woofers, do not respond to changes in power cords. Keep us posted on what you fid out. | |
| Voltage source vs. current source amplifiers Only certain ML models have powered woofers - my Aerius doesn’t for example. But I agree kijanski has it right. The amp will need to double the power when the load is halved in order to maintain a constant voltage. In contrast, the tube amps almos... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings "I agree vinyl is very alive"Seriously? How many people outside of (some of) the folks who post here do you think are spinning a turntable? Look around and see how the next generation of young folks are consuming their music. Buying CDs, vinyl - d... |
