| Plinius 9200 Driving Magnepan 3.6Rs Sorry it took me so long to get back. I have used a buddies Krell 400cx to great effect. Loved the sound. That said, I like the Innersounds much better. Much great bass extension and overall definition. Plus, the Krell was HUGE and ran hot in comp... | |

| Plinius 9200 Driving Magnepan 3.6Rs Sorry, Krell's as well, can't leave them out. McIntosh's do not match. Even the 500W boys. I don't know what, but they never sounded right to me. | |
| Plinius 9200 Driving Magnepan 3.6Rs Plinius is not the answer for Maggies. Just not a good match. Try Parasound JC-1 monoblocks, or any of the Bryston amps that produce more than 400W at 4ohms. But the big bad boys your really want are Innersound. Read some reviews, you will realize... | |
| Low priced giant killers Used, obviously, Magnepan IIIa's. Nothing else mentioned is in the same league. Read old reviews of these. We just helped a buddy put in a budget home theater and found some of these. Just a tremendous speaker. | |
| surround sound system with two speakers ? How about with one speaker? I heard a demo of the new single Yamaha system, and for home cinema it was great. They had it matched with the Arcam reciever, and a Denon 3910 DVD player. Sound was excellent. Great for movies, not bad at all on music.... | |
| Best used universal transport/player for $1,000? I should admit that I don't own a Denon. I paid up and bought the Onkyo DV SP1000 after auditioning the Denon, Marantz DV9500 and McCormack UDP-1. The Marantz and Onkyo tied, but the Onkyo had an IEEE-1394 interconnect, so I bought it. Used the be... | |
| Best Speakers to Audition in the $5-10k range? I completely disagree with Cinematic systems regarding the Gallos Ref III, and pretty much every reviewer who has ever listened to them disagrees as well. I owned these for a couple of months, and they were spectacular speakers, regardless of pric... | |
| Best Speakers to Audition in the $5-10k range? Used Vandersteen 5A's and 5A sigs. Klipsch horns, Innersound Eros MKIII (used), Magnepan 3.6R's, Paradigm S8 signature (awesome speaker, period), Gallo Ref3.I like Maggies, you could prob find a used pair of 20.1's for 10k, and many people, myself... | |
| Best used universal transport/player for $1,000? Denon 3910, you can get it modded as you grow. That DAC's in it are already pretty good, you may not need/want your other. | |
| Should I sell Classe CP60 and get a phono stage ? Thanks, I bought a pre-amp, and plan on running it through the tape loop for movies and surround. I think that I am going to connect my sub via both speaker and LFE input as well. Once again, thanks for everyones help. | |
| REL Quake or ACI Force for semi small room Neither, Velodyne DD10. But if you must have one of those, the ACI definitley.Is it raining? | |
| Should I sell Classe CP60 and get a phono stage ? Jmcgrogan2, how do you get both the Classe and the Denon signal into you FR & FL? Do you use a y connector? doesn't that degrade the signal? I ask because I have an Anthem AVM30 (which I love, by the way), but I am thinking about selling it, m... | |
| Phono Pre-amp for Analog Newbie Much thanks to all. Great suggestions. I have loved the Bryston amps that I have had, so I am very interested in trying that phono-pre to start. Going to start with the Dynavector 17D MKII as well. Lots of positives on that, and the VPI 16.5 it is... | |
