| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I bought my 3.6 Maggies about 18 years ago and could not be more satisfied. That said, I went through a couple of amps and pre amps to get the right power as well as moving to a tube pre amp. What made them really bloom was the addition of Mye s... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? There is a minor logical issue in my mind in this debate. Much is said that Class D is coming, i.e. improving so as to challenge Class A/B mainly. What is lost is that IMHO they have a ways to go, but let us not forget that Class A/B is allowed ... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. We do not all swim in the same financial pool, yet loving great sound can be achieved without breaking the bank. Being married to an Economist, we live by the rule, marginal cost versus marginal gain. At a certain financial point, the cost excee... | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. I was lucky enough to see the Allman Brothers a couple of months before Duane died. He blew me away totally. I still get chills when I think about how good that concert was. Ot was at the end of the tour that produced the Live at the Fillmore a... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts @kota1 LPs used to be the dominant force in music, then it diminished so far it was almost extinct. Growth from ground zero is not indicative of of shift in the masses consumption pattern. A good analogy is tube gear. tues and vinyl will alw... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? It is just a hobby, that's all. People with more disposable income can indulge more, but at the end of the day it is a niche hobby. Like most here I have others. some chase the last 1 1/10 of 1 percent, other find their nirvana as bail on chang... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts Time and technology march on. Streaming will soon take over from physical media and as some have observed, current replay means for video will become a niche like vinyl. Two reasons, first is cost to provider and the second is ease and range of... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Live at the Fillmore - Allman Brothers Band Cheap Thrills - Janis Joplin / Big Brother & The Holding Company Wheels of Fire - Cream perhaps the question should be, what 3 albums have you listened to the most in your life. | |
| Who to trust when buying vintage ss ? The question is who do you trust, not should you buy vintage audio gear. For the East Coast crowd Audio Classics in Ct jas sold vintage gear for many years. The McIntosh MR78 is still considered one of the best tuners if people still listen to l... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... I own 3.6 Maggies and have had the in 3 very different rooms due to moving over the past 17 years. They can work in your room, but the universal truth about Maggies is have more than enough power (current), install Mye stands or simikiar and trea... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium Over the last 50 years audio has evolved from a place where a lowly Sgt in the Army (Me) could buy a system of components that sounded terrific and music was the focus to where we are today. I have had a modicum of success in life and can afford... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k I would recommend listening to 30.7 Maggie’s. It is all about what you like and the only way to know is to hear them. If you are open to planars they should at least be on the list to check out. Everyone has different ideas about what is best f... | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Clearly - 8 Miles High by The Byrds Seriously - You Don't Love Me, Allman Brothers "Live at the Fillmore" Cream - Spoonful - Wheels of Fire | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? I think the main reason for women not being into high quality audio is an asset allocation issue, not to mention gender bias. In my youth young men my age had two things they spent their disposable income on, cars and stereo. It was my experi... | |
| What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard? The CD that warms my heart and shows off the revealing nature of my Maggies is Take Five by Dave Brubeck on SACD. I would also add I agree with Live at the Fillmore as noted above. |
