| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) Just to add my 2 cents, I would definitely audition tube integrated amps. I have an old pair of Cornwalls in the basement as a secondary system and use a Sophia EL34 based integrated amp and while not "top drawer" the sound is very pleasing and t... | |
| Buy a pair of ten year old $40,000 speakers for $4,000 or new ones at that price point? I guess I would look at the problem your seem to be trying to solve in a different way.You have $4000 to spend, OK. What is the size of the room, what electronics to you have to power them, what are your musical tastes all must be considered firs... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Latick,You were the one seeming to ask for spec from the OP and so my comment about specs in these product lines in general. Does the manufacturer even provide and about their own [product? By your logic if someone advertises that placing their s... | |

| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 Another way to consider is finding a used Audio Research D-400II to drive the Maggies. I know folks love Bryston but I have used this amp, in fact two of them for years on MGIIIas bi-amped and 3,7s and now 20.7s bridged when I am in the mood for ... | |
| What is a good upgrade to the Magnepan MGlc? They will still rebuild them, I started with Maggie MGIIb's and upgraded to the IIIas after awhile. I have used Audio Research M100 monoblock tubes but now use the Audio Research D400mk2 and support the maggies on the low end with a pair of velody... | |
| Audio Research SP9 family I had the original SP9 and have upgraded it 1st to a MKII and now MKIII. If you have a need for a very good phono stage at a reasonable price the SP9 is ideal. The upgrade to MKIII GREATLY improves the line section too. It brings it more into the ... |
