About to buy a Wyred4Sound 1000 Watt Integrated
I think that will be quite a good pairing one of the best possible with an integrated amp and certainly one of the best for the price. . Not many put out that many watts and they all will help To make the music flow effortlessly with Maggie's.

I will also soon be putting up my mhdt paradisea tube Dac including two different 5270 tubes and my stax electret phones. Also a few extra Mit ics I no longer need. Cleaning out some stuff. For the first time in a few years as a result of the down...

Tube grooverCould be. Have you heard it and compared? I've heard both and compared these to various other amps of all designs I have heard. It's not out of the realm of possibility. Plus these will work very well with most any speaker. No problem ... 
Anyone receive Focal Utopia speakers with defects?

Ground 'box' what's in them?
I bought a $13 in line transformer to eliminate hum from my cable connection ground when attached to my system. Works like a charm by design. If its not clear exactly what ground problem a product solves and how though, and if the results cannot b...

It's a very good pairing. The Maggies will benefit from the power. No good reason not to if you think the amp fits your needs overall. Wyred are good quality and value products. I wish I still had my Maggies to try with my current 500w/ch Class D ...

If you've ever seen a pair of floor standing Klipsch Heresys the setup is similar. Except Isoacoustic stands provide the isolation from the floor needed to keep bass clean and are adjustable to two different heights and various degrees of tilt.

Jet if you try it I'd like to know the results. Thanks.Nothing else I tried in that room worked anywhere near up to par. My smallest least extended speakers ended up sounding spot on and trumping anything else I ever tried in there.

Rebbi the other thing about low placement with slight tilt up is this can work in your favor with imaging and soundstage in a smaller rooms due to longer delays for reflections from ceiling and rear wall. Audiokinesis has mentioned this approach t...

The AN speakers might fit on a larger pair of isoacoustics stands which are adjustable and not expensive. They would sit lower to the ground with optional tilt up for the tweeter. That could well compensate for not placing them on higher stands in...

Reb, My experience with the AN speakers at Capital Audiofest a couple years back mirrors yours almost to a tee. 
Industrial grade steel storage rack as audio rack?
I keep my turntable and related gear on a massive 2 foot high solid oak coffee table I picked up years ago in a second hand furniture shop down south for $30.My amps rest on an antique wood footstool I picked up a couple years ago in a local antiq...

Its hard to get perfect results much less be certain of everything in a rushed audition. There are many reasons why one hears what they hear in any particular case.Apparently whatever Rebbi heard was convincing since the old speakers are gone.Rega...
