Disappointing On Mcintosh......help
Synergy is everything in audio.  That, plus we all have different views of what type of sound gives us joy.For Me, McIntosh MC501s paired with a tube Pre Amp (C220) driving 3.6 Maggies have been magic for more than 10 years.I went through a lot of... 
Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow
And then there were Maggies!! 
What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
50 years ago I purchased my first decent speakers, Sansui SP-100s.  Lots of classic rock went thru them as it was released.So many great memories, I had the first decent stereo of my peers.  Lost in a divorce, still remembered.  Not the "best" but... 
What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?
Sometimes simple is amazingly effective.   When I placed a pair of ficus trees (artificial) behind my 6 ft Maggies, the change from the diffusion was a huge improvement at a minimal cost.Nothing against all the other suggestions, just that one nee... 
Are you Beethoven or Mozart?
I love Beethoven, bit Mozart is my guy.  It is all a matter of taste, just like in the middle 60’s, were you a Beatles guy or Stones.No right answer, just good music from both sides in each case. 
Help!! Bought Rega TT in the UK and now cant use it in the U.S.
It seems to me there should be a simple solution.  I bought a couple of Dual turntables in Europe back in the day.  They both had simple no cost conversions as everyone knew US servicemen were taking them back to the USA where voltage is 120 versu... 
Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers?
I would upgrade your amp.  I also have 3.6 Maggie’s and you would do well to acquire a pair of MC501 mono block amps.  The difference will blow your mind in the difference.  I say this from experience.The good thing is that if you but a pair of 50... 
What is best sub to match with Magnepan?
One comment from someone who has owned Maggie’s for the last 15 years, before spending another nickel on anything, get MYE stands.  Unquestionable the biggest bang for the buck in system improvement.  Check out the planar asylum for confirmation. ... 
SACD or not
I I have owned an SACD player for many years.  With the right combination of gear and SACDs, they can be quite pleasing.  I enjoy many diverse genres of music and some SACDs make you wonder why there is not more content available.For example, Time... 
What is your top priority items on Black Friday Sale.
I am upgrading to an 86” Sony TV, amazing picture.  And also treating myself to a pool table. 
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Just a mild point about personality typing.  Look up Myers Briggs.  It is a well accepted typology that evaluates 4 dimensions on a continuum suggesting a characteristic based on the strength of placement on each.It has been in use in both busines... 
Honest opinions on my two picks of loudspeakers
Speakers are the most individual sensitive component. The best we can do is offer a variety of choices you may enjoy, but in the end it is your ears and wallet that will rule the day.There is a reason that horns and planar / electrostatic speakers... 
NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
Interesting how you attack me, having zero idea about my background.  You are such a shill that no one believes anything you say.  I hope your continued attacks and idiocy make you happy as most certainly you have no support here.In case you haven... 
NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
It is all puffery about class D.  The opening statement was sufficient to see a pure shill.The hyperbole in the opening typically is that of a shill.Class D has its place, but be real about what it truly is. 
Recommend speakers for a large living room
I would suggest listening to 30.7 Maggies, their size would not over power the room and properly set up the sound is amazing.There are many fine choices, and synergy with the amp is critical as you listen to the candidates, Good Luck!
