| Most achingly-beautiful music "MOZART, MOZART!!" cried signori Saleri. | |
| McIntosh 501 or 602 for Magnepan 20.1 Innersound ESL Monoblocks. The KW ones, about 10K used. Best I have heard on 20.1's. | |

| What to buy Go to Audio Concepts at Greenbriar and 59. They handle Vandersteen and Magnepan among others. Sounds like you may want to try the Vandersteen 3a Signature.Also, SoundWorld on Bissonet handles Focal JM and Paradigm. The Paradigm Sigs are just ridic... | |
| Which high-end receiver? If you can only get a reciever, the Denon does everything now, the others will need upgrades later for HDMI switching. But, the McIntosh sounds like seperates, and you won't need another one for a long time. | |
| Sony LCD projetion screen TV screen spot No, but thanks for the thought. | |
| Maggies 3.6 vs 20.1 I have 3.6's, and have had the 1.6qr's as well. The 3.6 is a much better speaker in all aspects, as long as the electronics behind it match the speakers. A lot of clean power is needed. That said, I believe the 20.1 is the finest speaker made, per... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Great responses, but I did not see any Eddie Van Halen votes? With the continuing mediocrity of the current Van Halen config, his legend seems to be diminishing. But the guy is really a brilliant musician.I'm going to go out on a limb and put the ... | |
| Sunfire Receiver or Separates and Magneplanar Spea I am not sure of the sunfire reciever that you are looking at, but as long as you have greater than 125 W into 4 ohms you are golden. The Maggies MMG-W and MMG-C system is fantastic, and if you read reviews, which can be believed by the way, one o... | |
| Universal disc player Actually, about 2 months ago I bought the Onkyo DS1000 after auditioning the Denon 3910 (ModWright Modded), Denon 5910, McCormack UDP-1, and Marantz DV9500. The 5910 was the best, but not 1200 better than the next two, which were the Marantz and O... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me I find it hard to believe that it can sound much better with thier amp, than with your own. Especially if you have a processor that will scupt all of your output parameters. Mine sounded fantastic. | |
| Quad vs. Martin Logan? Newbee, I'm right there with you. Those and the Maggie 20.1's are what I covet for my "ultimate" media room. I plan on adding one to my house in 2yrs under the guise of a "Gameroom". Don't tell my spouse!! | |
| Quad vs. Martin Logan? Yes, the Maggies are a different technology, but more like electrostats than cones, much closer in sound reproduction. I agree with Jeffreybehr regarding his Quads. I really think those (along with the SoundLabs) are the pinnacle of electrostat so... | |
| Newbie question for amps: Sunfire, Anthem, Rotel? 1) Parasound 2205aThen the Anthem. | |
| Quad vs. Martin Logan? The dealer above has a vested interest in telling you the Soundlabs are the best!! But, he is telling you the truth. I am a Maggie guy, I really love the open airy Magnepan sound, and would argue the comment on inner detail not being defined in an... |
