| Mcintosh c2600 I have a Mcinoths C2600. Been very happy with it. Running it with a Mcintosh MC452, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. What would you like to know? | |
| Trying to decide on a tuner - Mcintosh MR88 / Magnum Dynalab 108T / Magnum Dynalab 90T SE @ TablejockeyThanks for the input. I may want to consider one of them for my office system then. | |
| Trying to decide on a tuner - Mcintosh MR88 / Magnum Dynalab 108T / Magnum Dynalab 90T SE Stereo5, that's a good point. Well the 90T SE is out of the running then. The 108T seems to be a big step above the MD102 though. There was a good review of the MD108T compared to the MR88 on AA: https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Gentlemen, let's please keep it civil. You are both entitled to your opinion, but let's keep insults and unnecessary jabs to a minimum. It is juvenile and we are better than that. Now, I can agree with @RIAA the experience I had listening to the ... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal if you can get a demo pair of yvette’s in a good color for 15k i suggest that you might consider jumping on it. the speaker is all about music as it should be. many reviewers(fwiw) have called it the best wilson yet considering price/perform... | |

| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Thanks for all the help. I found a great set of Sasha Daws for an amazing deal so I went with that. | |

| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal I checked out the BE10 and BE20, due to prodding from our community, which were magnitudes better than the mini ones. Didn't hear a huge difference between BE10 and be20. Unfortunately that the BE10 and replaced with a higher end unit soon, but th... | |

| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal One nice thing about several Wilson models is that you can adjust the tonal balance. I'm not sure how many know about this.They have removable resistors in the crossover which can be accessed to adjust the balance to suit.I am pretty sure I've h... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal mepstein10 - I currently own Focal Sopra 2 speakers so my recommendation could be biased but would try my best to advise. They’re really fine sets of speakers, especially non-fatiguing, vocal clarity, good mid-range, and good bass when pairing u... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Mepstein, neither the WIlsons or the Focals' will 100% synergize with your Origins.We have been doing surround sound for over 30 years, if matching your origins is a priority, then the Wilsons will be a much closer sonic match, as their tweeter ... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Yes, I heard the speakers with the same gear. Though the comparison is not a failure if one cannot do that, having the same gear is a big help in drawing A/B comparisons.Anyway, for the Wilsons I heard the Sabrinas firsts, then the Focals Sopra 3,... | |
