| Any Ayon CD5 owner with problem output..?..& 128531; Good move on the Modwright amps Elliotdrum, they're very musical amps. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers 08-06-14: PkoegzMelbguy1I find that the footers function better tightly attached to the body of the speaker. The weight of the speaker then settles the ultra 5's to the floor making for an extremely stable, level set up. The adapters, as far as I ... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers 08-06-14: TbgIncidentally, in my experience, four Ultra on everything are much better than three. And this is not subtle.+ 1. I was blown away by the improvement using 4 Ultra 5's under my Vitus! | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? 08-06-14: Bifwynne@Melbguy1 -- I've had my ears (pun) on the Magico S3s or S5s, for many of the reasons you just mentioned. And in time, I may wind up there. But right now, I'm obsessing over a type of distortion that many do not speak about or un... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? I am in a good position to offer an opinion as I started out with Infinity Reference series speakers which have a basic wood cabinet, and comparing those speakers to my current Magico S5's and other extremely inert speakers like Crystal Arabesque ... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? 08-05-14: Roxy54Mel,I take your point as well...those incidents are frustrating and can stay with you for a long while. It has happened to me as well.Thanks for your f'back Roxy. It's good to know in a sense you're not alone and that this kind of ... | |

| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers 08-05-14: PkoegzMelbguy1,I installed two sets of four ultra 5's under my Q5's. No bases though. Did not see the point(no pun intended). I also bought 8 of the Stillpoints adapters 1/4 20 to 3/8 16 which you will need as well. I love the look and s... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers 08-05-14: TbgMelbguy1, with the Ultra bases you will not be using the Ultra 5s in the recommended way. I have no idea what threaded options there are under the Magico S5s but if you could use them to mount the Ultra 5s so that there is some minima... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE 08-05-14: Apdoc2004informed choices and sharing real useful information with others, not just feeling"Usermanual,You are probably too obtuse to understand this concept but in a subjective hobby like audio it is a lot about personal "feeling". For ... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Charles, I find your childish and passive aggressive put downs of anyone who expresses a positive viewpoint about Magico are the epitome of immaturity and rather pathetic. I also find your statement "You're right and everyone with an alternative v... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers I am installing 2 sets of (3) Ultra 5's with Ultra bases under my Magico S5's in the new few weeks in the optimal sloped side up configuration. I hope to post an update later with my findings. | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers You could pick up a 2nd hand pair of Infinity Renaissance 90's for that money which sound awesome! | |
| Thinking of buying Infinity IRS Betas 08-02-14: TreljaYou could also give a call to Millersound to gauge willingness and pricing. Bill has owned and restored several (and different iterations) pairs of IRS, and is obviously an expert with them, though I'm not sure how interested he wo... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The best speakers i've ever heard are still the awesome Infinity IRS-V's. I heard them back in 1991 with a pair of massive Electrocompaniet mono blocks & a reference tt and was blown away. Thunderous concert level bass, ethereal "reach out and... |
