| For people with experience with Class-A amps I'm guessing that you have a solid state amp. I would contact the manufacturer and request the instructions on how to set the DC offset and bias. More than likely the only tools required will be a meter and small tweaker screwdriver. I have a Clas... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Reference 3A MM De Capo's with Atma-Sphere M60 Mk III's. I've had Thiel 2.2's and still have 5i's. Was listening to ML CLS I's. The Capo's are amazing with an OTL amp. A ML Depth sub fills in the bottom from 30hz on down. | |
| Anyone use Audiogon "Wanted" Ads Success? They can take a while to produce, but have always worked. | |
| Need an integrated with sub output. Outlaw Audio RR2150. Its a receiver with 100 watts per channel. Check the online manual thats on the site. | |

| Tweaks with overpowering resuults. You may have already done this, but your speaker/listening position should be dialed in. Then start with room treatments. The best tools for this are an inexpensive laser level with a straight line and an RTA. The Behringer DSP8024 and DEQ2496 RTA... | |
| My NHT 2.5 Speakers Are Hungry I had a pair of NHT 2.3a's that were the same way. The Adcom GFA1 or GFA1a will drive them well. On Ebay for around $200. They put out 200 wattts and are fan cooled. You may or may not hear the fan and you will have to clean the dust out of it fro... | |
| How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies For what it is worth, I drove a pair of MG2B's with a Cary SLA 70 Sig (35w class A P-P w/EL34) and they sounded fantastic. Much will depend on your listening tastes and the size of the room. Check over on the MUG forum at the Audioasylum. | |
| Basic Room Tuning for Dummies Well the advice that I preach is to buy an RTA first so that you really know what your proplem areas are. You can sell it when you are done with it. There is a Behringer DEQ2496 with Mic on here right now for $275. That being said, treatments are ... | |
| Acoustic TReatments - What, How much, & Where? I would suggest that you pick up a used RTA. (real time analyzer) A Behringer DSP8024 with mic goes for a bit over $225 on Ebay. Its the best investment that I ever made. Using the RTA function, you can see whats going on in your room. Locate the ... | |
| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. Yes they work. I would start with one directly on top of your amps transformer. I have not had any luck (good or bad) with them when used with digital equipment. I have one on the transfrormer cover inside my Classe CA400 amp. (major improvement) ... | |
| QUAD vs Martin Logan vs Magnepan I have owned Magnepan 3.6's and now listen to ML CLS's with a ML Depth sub. The 3.6's needed to be playing fairly loud to sound their best. The ribbon tweeter always seemed to be a bit hot. I could never quite get it right. I even actively biamped... | |
| Mysterious black "patch" on MG1.6QR Please do not quote me on this, but I have read that Magnepan places damping material in different places on the membrane so that the speakers are not "mirror" pairs. This is to create a better sound image. I could not see this on the 3.6's that I... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? I can't say that Martin Logan CLS's are not picky when it comes to amplification, but when it comes to low level resolution/detail they made me sell my 3.6's. You get single driver coherance and no crossover. Unfortunately, ML stopped producing th... | |
| Sony SCD-1 Player NO DISC DETECT You can go over to the AudioAsylum and do a search. Theres alot of info on this subject. My 777ES had the same problem. I lightly wiped the lens with a dry swab at it fixed the problem. Good luck! |
