| Why no trading? Audiogon doesn't make a provision for trading. I think it was considered at one time but it has never happened. I guess there is nothing in it for them so they aren't interested. I've had a few transactions turn into trades with pretty good results. | |
| Magnepan 3.6 Mrtennis, "how do you know"If you like it, you like it. In my experience, the speakers respond to high current/high power that allows them to open up and sound their best. Whatever floats your boat. For my tastes, low wattage would only suffice fo... | |
| Magnepan 3.6 "i drive a pair of 1.6s with 4 watts."Four watts? If so, you are not hearing what the speakers can do. You may like it. I would hate it. | |
| Magnepan 3.6 At very low levels, maybe, but it is not a good match with a current hungry speaker such as the 3.6 | |
| Magnepan 1.6 "i guess we will have to agree to disagree."Absolutely, we all hear differently. Trust your ears rather than someone's opinion. | |
| Denon 3910 vs Rega Apollo or other suggestions I went the opposite way and replaced my Apollo with the 3910. Couldn't be happier. | |
| Magnepan 1.6 "The Magnepan 1.6 is a bit overrated".... I couldn't disagree more. They are anything but overrated. An incredible speaker at a silly price. My previous dynamic speakers retailed for $12000 and were wonderful. I don't miss them, at all, when I lis... | |
| Tube amp location If you have to keep them in the cabinet stay with solidstate. It is a bad idea to enclose them and placement on the speakers is equally bad. Behind the speakers is the best solution. | |
| Pre Amp or Amp Best Money Spent In general, the preamp will have more effect on sound than the the amp (as long as the speakers have enough power). The Rogue 90 will drive the 2CEs without a problem. You might consider have them upgraded to Signature if Vandersteen still offers ... | |
| New update for VPI tables "Harry is trying to make his products better, except for the ones that he has abandoned support for."No manufacturer can provide support, in perpetuity, for every product they've ever made. It is unrealistic and would be cost prohibitive. Try gett... | |
| is there a stereo blue book for value of old gear It really doesn't reflect true market values. It's primarily a tool for dealers. | |
| VPI HW-19 Motor Call VPI. They'll tell you everything you need to know. | |
| Any Eminent Technology LFT 8 owner in the Bay Area I've owned them and the Magnaplanar 1.6. I prefer the Magnepan. Do try to listen before you buy. They're good but not to everyone's taste. | |
| drive single channel of stereo amp My last response should have read "active input" and not "active amp". | |
| drive single channel of stereo amp Depending on the design it can become unstable especially if there is an active amp. Some designs aren't bothered at all. |
