| Anything better than Magnepan 1.6? shadorne, you are correct. stacked quads are not the last word in dynamics. it is better to stick to small ensemble music and also avoid organ, except at spl under 80 db.another alternative, although not in production, and highly inefficient is th... | |
| Anything better than Magnepan 1.6? of course this is all so subjective. i own 1.6s, and i have also owned tympany I B's and quad esls and 63s.i preferred the original quads--2 pair in stacked mode, to any other speaker system i have heard. yes they are not the most dynamic and they... | |
| Roger Sanders is back gentlemen:i spoke to roger earlier this year and borrowed his amp for evaluation with my magnepan 1.6s. i sent it back and chatted with him regarding the design of electrostatic speakers. he indicated that he might be working with the son of david... | |
| I can't stop listening, the magic is back oh, the evanescence of audio nirvana. the sound of a stereo system may change from day to day, especially during the summer months. i have noticed this with my own stereo system and also when i viited my friend's house. i am quite familiar with bo... | |
| What other hobby or hobbies do you have? what makes people tick, their motivation and behavior is a fascinating study. | |
| System psychology, or just psyched out? gentlemen:if you truly enjoy music, you can enjoy it when the source is a personal stereo purchased at circuit city or best buy or when listening to an expensive stereo system. the music is the same, but the sound quality varies.audio obsessed, do... | |
| Quality of Calif Audio Labs Delta Transport? i have a delta and very shortly i will be selling the alpha and delta. i prefer my vincent cd player as a transport. however, the vincent is $1800, while the delta would sell for about $300, used. it seems reliable. i have had no problems with it. | |
| Has anyone heard the new PrimaLuna tube CD player? i heard the prima luna at ces 2007, as part of an all prima luna system.the overall sound was not tube-like in the classic sense. i couln't detect a tube or solid state signature. there was no romance. bad recordings sounded bad. in short, the pre... | |
| Anybody tried this ? well lacee, you realize that live music sounds real and stereos don't. why is it that so many musicians have, by certain standards, inferior sounding stereo systems ?they certainly have a better idea than most of us what an instrument sounds like,... | |
| Best Preamp/Amp Combo for Maggie 1.6QR's? if you consider what music is--pitch,timbre and harmonics, you can see why a lower power amp may create greater realism with respect to timbre.i hosted an audio meeting and many preferred a 2.5 watt ampolifier over a 120 watt amp--both tubes. voic... | |
| What's your greatest purchase... double quad esls. | |
| PrimaLuna CD Player? beware of purchasing a prima luna cd player. you may go crazy . you may become a prima luna-tic. | |
| most accurate loudspeakers.... the phrase "more accurate" is an oxymoron. all speakers are inaccurate. accuracy is dichotomous. there is a state of accuracy and a state of inaccuracy.one can use the phrase less inaccurate to indicate a state which is closer to accurate, i.e., p... | |
| Anybody tried this ? or you could say, live music sounds so much better than any stereo, i will go out to hear live music (unamplified, preferably) and not be so concerned about a stereo system. | |
| Best Preamp/Amp Combo for Maggie 1.6QR's? solid state amps and panel speakers is a recipe for disaster. why ? magnepans are known for their ability to resolve subtle details. they are not attenuated in the treble region. solid state amps will accentuate the flaws in recordings. why be a m... |
