| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? "If it's too loud, you're too old!!"No really, if there is no clipping/distortion you should be fine. I have a very large room and I have not idea what level's I listen at, but, I know we cannot talk to each other in the room while the music is on... | |
| What fits well with Magnepans? I just noticed a Parasound Halo 21 for sale here on Audiogon. I used one of those when I had the 1.6qrs and it was a FANTASTIC amp. This one's for sale for much less than I bougtht and sold mine, so it could be a great deal. Very "tube" like warm ... | |
| Speakers that disappear Wasn't that a Magnepan review?QuadsVandersteens (all are under $15k I think)Ohm'sMagnepan's (MMG's, 1.6qr's, 3.6R, 20.1's) | |
| What fits well with Magnepans? Oh yeah I forgot to add, I have not heard them, but I understand the Wyred4Sound and ICE H2O amps are both great matches as well. | |
| What fits well with Magnepans? Find a used Innersound ESL amp. It's a great match for your speakers, look up some of the reviews. I used one with both 1.6qrs and 3.6R's and it's a rocking amp.Also, not easy to find but the Parasound 3500 (or a 2200) is a great powerful amp for ... | |
| Tube DAC Advice Needed I use an Apple TV to a dac, and that set up made me get rid of my modded Denon 5910 the sound was so good. I started with a Bel Canto Dac III, then tried a Benchmark, then a PS Audio (best of that bunch) finally I got an MHDT Havana and I love it.... | |
| Cary 500 mono blocks It has, given my set up and room to qualify, much more bass, and absolutely no harshness. The Ref 1000's were great, but this seems to be on another level in my set up. I needed some more warmth, I think it's my very imperfect room that needed hel... | |
| Cary 500 mono blocks well, I switched. Great amps, nice to buy amps that are already broken in. Bass is HUGE, smooth, very detailed. I think they are the best match for my Maggies so far. Think these will be here for a while!! | |
| MHDT Havana vs TADAC Just for my knowledge, have you been able to get in touch with the guy who sells the TADAC? I never got any response from him, and I tried 3 times. | |
| MHDT Havana vs TADAC I really like it, very smooth, and it's not broken in yet. Much better match with my equipment than the Benchmark I had. | |
| What amps for Maggies? I have had serveral pairs of 3.6R's over the last 6 yrs, and here are some of the amps that I have used:Parasound JC1's (sublime, very full rich sound)Innersound ESL 300 (massive power, never runs out, very detailed)Bel Canto Ref 1000's (massive e... | |
| SVS PB13Ultra-anybody have one? how good are they? I have the SVS PC13 Ultra, and I think it's fantastic. | |
| Which speakers have wide dispersion? All Vandersteens. The 5a is just sublime, when I have heard it there was not one certain sweet spot. Also, Klipcsh Khorns, really all good horns. | |
| Which subwoofer to mate with my system........... Actually I use and SVS PC Ultra with a Velodyne SMS-1 and it integrates almost perfectly with my Maggie 3.6R's. | |
| Which subwoofer to mate with my system........... I would get the Paradigm signature sub(s). |
