| MMGs To elaborate on my previous post a bit, if I introduce $2500 into my budget and take my current equipment into account (1 year old MMGs worth $450(?) and an old but checked out Adcom GFA-555 worth $300(?)), then I have $3250 to spend if I liquidat... | |
| MMGs Gotta admit I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the options.Am now wondering if I should venture into streaming, since (in response to JohhnyB53), the CD player is my only source. Streaming then leads me to a NAS of some sort. Those two lead... | |
| MMGs JHills,Thank you for your recommendations, I will go listen to the 1.7s this weekend. The room feels like it wants more speaker, but that could be just positioning.Johnnyb53,If I pick up the Halo A23, what preamp would you suggest? I am currentl... | |
| MMGs Added pictures to my virtual system to show what I am dealing with in room layout and listening position.Johnnyb53, there is a Parasound Halo A23 for sale on here at $50 less than original list for a four year old unit. Does that seem reasonable? | |
| MMGs There are two alternative sets of speakers on this site now. 3.3Rs at $700 (and in Florida where I am) and 1.6Qrs for $799 in MN. I would appreciate your thoughts on using either pair in my room in place of my MMGs which I would then sell. | |
| MMGs Chattaudio,I have thought about Gunn before. While his work is unquestionably worth the price, it leaves me with the Adcom driving the new speakers for at least a year. Does that make it still worthwhile? And would you use the year old MMGs or ... | |
| MMGs Schuert,Thanks, it was the TI part I was missing. Did you use their sub as well? | |
| MMGs Which model of Gallo? Did you mean the stainless steel spheres like these? https://www.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-anthony-gallo-acoustics-a-diva-stainless-steel-satellit...Or the 3s? Like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anthony-Gallo-3-speaker-... | |
| MMGs Thank you for the responses. I am beginning to wonder if the MMGs will work in this room.If I could come up with a $2000 budget for amp and speakers, was willing to move away from the MMGs, wanted similar clarity and soundstage, and would place th... | |
| MMGs There is a Belles 150 A on here at $500 and a Bryston 4B-ST for $1000. For the MMGs, is the Bryston worth the additional cost? | |
| MMGs Schubert,I have often thought about that but am stumped at finding a 200 wpc @ 4 ohm, high current amp under $600..What would you recommend? | |
| Mismatched preamp and CD player? Thank you for the additional options.Having been educated about vinyl and CDs, I am now considering ripping my small CD collection to my computer and adding a DAC (bifrost?) to the SYS, removing the CD players and GTP-500 altogether. New music wo... | |
| Starting over with vinyl DAC, wireless connection, music server (as I begin to understand the pieces it takes) $500 - 700, which seems slim for the DAC alone | |
| Mismatched preamp and CD player? Kalali - As it turns out, that is exactly what I expect to do. The CD player will be one of two primary inputs with a wireless/DAC combination the other. Just have to decide what Wireless/Dac combination makes the most sense. Looking at the Audi... | |
| Starting over with vinyl mb1audio -No, I didn't get the whole system as I had the same Adcom gear and 3.6s back then. |
