| Mcintosh and magico speaker Speed and transparency have never been tauted in the same sentence when describing Mac amps.Colored,slow,tubby,Mac house sound in the midrange yes but speed,lol...cmon!..The Magico dealer I demoed at (who also reps mac) never ever mentioned Mac am... | |
| Best Small Floorstander for Rock Music -Magico/B&W Huuuuum,another odd post IMO.Magico against B&W,lol.Magico is in another league,so much I cant even compare the two.You will need a better amp if going with the"Magic".I also understand B&W is now made in China.Enough B&W bashing,let y... | |
| Mcintosh and magico speaker IMO,I wouldnt run Mac amps with Magico.I would seek amps that have better speed,clarity and dynamics.Mac is just too slow and tubby | |
| HiFi Tuning Fuses IMO..Snake Oil..I havent met one audiophile that could do a blind taste test,put your money in other upgrades | |
| Quicksilver V4 vs Manley Snappers Ive never owned either but my bro had the V4s and Ive heard the snappers many times.IMO the Quicksilvers do things better.The snappers live up to their name,too snappy for a tube amp if that makes sense.Another thing to consider is resale.Manley d... | |
| Owners of Pass Labs XA30.5 IMO,I would sell the amp you have and get an X250.5.The 30.5 is way too limited and suffers in the bass.They are about the same money on the secondary market,although the 250.5 is harder to find, easier to sell and opens the speaker search to alot... | |
| Consensus Audio heaven About a year ago I looked at Consensus and their re-labled brand Artos Audio.Too much of a crap shoot for the high cost.If you do your research you will find warning after warning about buying these speakers.Way better options in that price range,... | |
| McIntosh MC 252 vs. Bryston IMO,with your speakers I would stay away from anything that is on the warmer/slower side ie the MC252 and your current amp.Id look at quicker more detailed amps..Pass comes to mind,many options in the 3 grand arena. | |
| Avalon modified drivers vs. Accuton originals IMO,it does if you ever plan on selling them...cant comment on the sound diff | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? The day I audition the new Magico Q series I also listened to offerings from B&W as this dealer has both.I told the dealer "I dont get it,whats with this following of B&W"?.He stated this (lauging and shrugging his shoulders)."People want ... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? Im now reading most of the B&W line is made in China,lol...One more reason to scratch em off the list!!! | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system IMO, you have alot of "issue" gear.I would start with your source ,the Rotel.I had one years ago and its really not worth messing with.Next the speakers...but for someone to tell you to "switch to vinyl" is just stupid... | |
| Mcintosh with Ayre pre-amp IMO the 402 is far superior to the 352 and worth the extra $$$,,and to find a 352 for 2200 is a pipe dream!!! but I would match your pre with Arye amp | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? Jdec ..and proud of it!!! | |
| speakers prior to owning Harbeth 7es 3's IMO, I would agree with Tom on the C1s(used).I have the X03SE and ran Rel subs w/Dynaudio in a room approx the same as yours.Sounded great IMO.Having said that I would strongly suugest you listen to them as they are completely different..Speed/bet... |
