| McCormack DNA1 options Corina,I can't speak for the TLC or Merlin but I can for the DNA1. Is yours the standard or Deluxe? I have both a .5 Deluxe and a REV A. There is a world of difference between the 2 amps. The REV A is much smoother and fuller sounding. The sound i... | |
| No bass for HT with Vandersteen 2wq... Just to throw in my 2 cents. I use both the V2W and 2Wq subs and am very pleased with the results. The subs blend perfectly with my MG 3.6R.I orginally started with the V2W for HT and wanted to add a second one to balance the room out. My dealer r... | |
| Straight Wire Question I started with Monster then moved to AudioQuest. At the recommendation of my dealer, I switched to Straightwire Rhapsody II interconnects and cables. I got the warm, full bodied sound that I was looking for. I haven't found the need to look elsewh... | |
| Vandersteen or REL or.......?????? Think small Karls,Just to clarify, the Q is the music sub. The V2W is designed for HT. It includes a 12" passive radiator for more output. | |
| Vandersteen or REL or.......?????? Think small I have never tried of heard the REL subs but I use a Vandersteen 2wq to my Maggie 3.6. The crossover is handled by a Theta CasaNova. For me, this provides a seamless blend between the sub and the 3.6 while extending the bottom end. | |
| B&K ref. 20 or Sunfire TG1 I see you are struggling with a pre/pro decision because I saw your earlier post about purchsing a used pre/pro. Having owned a REF20 and just purchased another one on here for $775, I would recommend the REF20. It is a straight forward unit witho... | |
| multi-channel amps Anthem, B&K, or Rotel I am not sure what type of sound you are looking for but here are my 2 cents. I have heard all the amps except for the Anthem. Adcom - on the harsh, bright sideRotel - neutral to brightB&K - warm to neutralI currently use a McCormack .5 Rev A ... | |
| Subwoofer Options - REL, BagEnd, JMLab Electra Sub Although this is not on your list, a Vandersteen 2wq should also be considered. I have MG 3.6R with JM Lab Electra SR30 for surrounds. I use the xover in my Theta CasaNova. For me, this sub blends perfectly and just extends the bottom end. | |
| subwoofer suggestions Jeffc,If you are looking for a sub that has tight but not boomy bass, I agree with sdcampbell, on the Vandersteen 2Wq. It blends seamlessly and adds a bottom end that you didn't know your were missing. Vandersteen also make a HT version of the 2Wq... | |
| Magneplanar 1.5 -- What amp??? Currently running my Magnepan 3.6R and MGCC1 with McCormack amps. | |
| Which DVDP IS THE BEST SOUND? I am not familiar with either the Sony or Panasonic but I do have a Toshiba that is connected to a Theta Casa Nova. I am pleased with the CD sound which is very natural and open. I have not played any DVD Audio but DD or DTS audio is superb. In ad... | |
| Does anyone own Magnepan MGMC1 & MGMCC I have not used the MGMC1 but do use a MGCC1 matched to a pair of MG 3.6R. A sub is essential along with a surround processor that allows you to crossover the Center channel at a high level. The center is only rated at 160-20kHz +-4dB. Mine is mat... | |
| Warmest? BAT VK200, Classe CA200, Mccormack .5 I have not heard the BAT or the Classe but I do have a McCormack .5 Rev with a King Cobra power cord powering a pair of Magnepan MG 3.6R. The sound is warm and full bodied. I also sold a McCormack DNA 1 with Martin Logans. He upgraded from a BAT a... | |
| Which McCormack I agree with both Garfish and Soix. Steve M gave me the same advice. The new amps are about a Rev B and are built to a price point. I have both a DNA-0.5 Deluxe and a DNA-0.5 Rev A which I acquired here for $1200. I use the Rev A to drive a pair M... |
