| Tube Buffer Vibration Isolation I've seen those rings, but didn't know what they were for. I will get some this weekend. Thanks so much! | |
| Good Sound under $500 Check out the Magnepan MMG speakers. They are $600 new, and can be found for $400 used. They go down to 50hz, and sound lovely. Good resale values. Might spoil you though. :-)Mot | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging Mapman is right on...mbl has the absolute best imaging and soundstage I've ever heard. I run the Mirage OMD-28, which has amazing soundstage, but does not have the lazer focus you desire. For your needs, check out the Gallo Reference Stradas. They... | |
| power conditioners I use the Belkin PureAV PF60. Retails for about $800, but you can get them for $200 new at this point. I live in an old home, so for me it made a nice improvement. I'm actually getting 120 for the first time ever. It was most evident in my video s... | |
| John Blue Audio I was looking at those too. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has compared them with Gallo micros or adivas, since they are all single drivers. Mot | |
| Inexpensive sub for MG12's With the speed of the Maggies, I think you might want to look at smaller, faster drivers. Infinity makes a subwoofer for their Cascade series that uses 4 6" drivers, with 800 Watts, to creates some pretty amazing bass. My brother has one and it is... | |
| How to use Ipad for best sound Oh...one more thing. Most car audio shops now have a kit they can install with the Apple adapter on the end, so you can plug it right into the amp. Might want to check that out as well. Under $200 bucks.Mot | |
| How to use Ipad for best sound I use my iPad for the same thing, as I travel by car a lot. I have everything in Apple Lossless, and it works great. I even use Pandora streaming while driving cross-country. Nice. I would offer 2 suggestions to increase the audio playback quality... | |
| Bi-amp at 140 watt each, or single 200 watt? Okay, so that is what I was wondering. So, if I get this right...2 amps at 140 is still just 140. So in reality, I would be better off with a single 200 watt amp. The speaker manual says they are designed for bi or tri-wiring, and they recommend i... | |
| Bi-amp at 140 watt each, or single 200 watt? Tobias,Thanks for the response. I had no idea that it would take that much power for an increase in volume of 3db. As far as the sound quality goes...it's quite lovely...just not at the output volume I am used to when running the smaller towers. I... | |
| Two pairs of spkrs in tandem Okay, so I learned I need to read the manual once in my lifetime. :-) The Marantz receivers have the option of a using the rear-surround discrete channels to do a true bi-amp setup. I thought it was merely bi-wired. So, I can use that separate set... | |

| Need Help Starting from Scratch @Stephenhdmrs: good choice man. You can not go wrong with that amp. I am getting the Nova myself. Enjoy man.@Bob_reynolds: That is highly logical, and absolutely makes sense man. :-) | |
| Need Help Starting from Scratch It sounds like your objections aren't based on hearing them, but on numbers. Driver size, weight, and the response curve. None of which tell how it sounds in real life. If you read the review above the response curve...he talks about how good they... | |
| Need Help Starting from Scratch Interesting...I've heard nothing but good things about them, and the reviews from owners are good. What is it that isn't good about them? I am looking at them for my winter system, running off a Roth MC4 iPod dock, or an iDecco. Have you had a cha... |
