| Car Audio Newbee OK, it's 4 months after the initial question but I thought I would give an update. First of all, it took a full 4 months for my car to come in, then we had to evacuate Houston for a possible hurricane in late September (lots of fun, 18 hours in a ... | |
| Maggie 1.6 vs Von Schweikert VR 4 OK, I am going to chime in. For more "slam" try more power. Byston makes great amps, you would be surprised at how much more slam you could get by moving up in the Byston's, to the next power level. I had a 14 SST with my Maggie 1.6Rs and I couldn... | |
| Center channel or 3rd matching speaker ???? 3 150'S if you have the space. | |
| Klipschorn: Still relevant?? Sorry, yes, like your current gear though, but it is fun to change. | |
| Gallo Ref III Amps/impressions Sorry, I meant the BrightStar Audio IsoRock Stands for the Gallos. My Bad. | |
| Klipschorn: Still relevant?? Hey, are you going to change?? | |
| Klipschorn: Still relevant?? I am a Magnepan guy. There I said it. But the first thing that I will buy when I build my home addition next year, which is really just a meadia room, is a pair of Klipschorns, and some McIntosh gear to drive it. What a great sound, best rock spea... | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor I have bought and sold so much stuff that my wife really doesn't care. I have proved that we could liquidate it all so quickly if need be, heaven forbid, that she really could care less what I spend. But.... since we don't have a dedicated media/l... | |
| Gallo Ref III Amps/impressions Wow, I have to tell you that I only kept my Gallo's for about 3 months, then moved on to Maggie 3.6R's. The SA amp was not available yet, and I was powering the second voice coil with an older Parasound amp. I did not have the Granite Audio stands... | |
| Klipschorn: Still relevant?? I don't know if the system you propose would be "Better" than what you have, but I do know that I love the sound of the Klipchorn, especially with loud orchestral works, or rock music. I have a buddy with a pair of late 1950's era (think they are ... | |
| McIntosh 501 or 602 for Magnepan 20.1 I have heard the JC-1's with the 20.1 (broken in), I think they sound fantastic. Dynamic, deep, and fast. Great match. That said, I reiterate my earlier suggestion, especially since I have seen some on sale here for $7k, the Innersound monoblocks ... | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K Paradigm 100 V3's, Vandy 2ce Sigs (love these), Magnepan 1.6qr's (needs big amp), see if you can find some of the Powered Paradigm 40's from a few years back. Great sounding rock speaker, and you don't need an amp. | |
| Car Audio Newbee Like an idiot, I am going to try it on my own first. What's the over/under on how long it takes me to go to an installer??? | |
| Turntables New vs Used All gear used, unless it's video. | |
| Fedex or UPS? Definitely FedEx. |
