| AirPlay more reliable with iPhone than iPad? I would start by checking the operating system version on both devices | |
| MMG Placement Yet another alternative has presented itself as well - 10 QRs for $600. I have never heard a pair of these but would ask the same question about suitability in my room | |
| MMG Placement An opportunity has arisen to acquire Maggie 2.7 QRs for less than $1000. Are they too large for my room (13x22x10)? I would acquire these and, in the future, upgrade the amplification to feed them. | |
| MMG Placement Schubert,Thank you I will check on the Gallos. If you had to describe the sound relative to Maggies, what would you say?Philojet,The only way I can place them on the short wall is in front of the kitchen pass-through (4 feet high). If I do that, I... | |
| MMG Placement Schubert,Do you mean that there is no way to "fill the room with sound and be unable to locate the speakers" or no way to use any sort of Maggies in a long narrow room? | |
| MMG Placement My intention if these work out is to upgrade to the next step in the Maggie line within a year, but the problem of distance from the wall in a narrow room remains | |
| Low cost DAC Thanks for the responses. Sort of what I expected. The Dac in the Onix is a Burr-Brown, so it will serve for music. If I run analog IC outs into my preamp, but continue to connect them to the TV by HDMI, do I just turn the TV volume down or mute t... | |
| Amp for Magnepan MMGs Thanks for the quick responses. There are plastic vertical blinds in place now, but may replace those with either fabric panels from IKEA or blackout curtains.Not sure how I would reorient the room, since the kitchen wall has a hallway leading int... | |
| Audio for Sharp 70" TV This opportunity fell apart when HHGregg tried a bait and switch on me.Now I am pursuing a digital music solution independent of the TV, and will look at the speaker lines mentioned.Thanks for taking time to reply. | |
| Pandora Thank you for the comments and compliment.What triggered the question was a combination of tiring of listening to Pandora on iPad speakers (if that's what's in one) and visiting a B&O store that was showing their one piece dock with speakers.A... | |
| TV only recommendation After reading all your responses and doing more research, I bought the Sharp 70" recommended by Unsound. Got a very good deal at HHGregg.Now I need advice on sources and audio. One source will be Atlantic Broadband HD cable, as they are embedded i... | |
| Magnepans in 18 x 35 room I have started the process as suggested with the rear of the speaker facing the 18' wall. Even though the space is so large, the seating area is at one end (where the speakers are and is roughly 18 x 15. Would there be any advantage to placing the... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers If you have the room for Magnapans, like the 1.6s or even 3.6s, consider them at 1725 and 3500 per pair respectively. Because the sound improves as you feed them more power, you could start with an integrated amp, or good preamp and amp, with the ... |
