| Recommend Me Some Speakers Magnepan MMG's. These will give you a taste of high end sound, and a healthy taste at that. They will add a degree of life and vitality often missing in box speakers - for a peanuts price. | |
| Magnepan 1.6 I have also owned the ET LFT-8As, though these were the "A" version and, I owned them for about one year (1985). Don't get me wrong, the 8As were fine sounding speakers. I thought these had excellent bass extension and a relatively clean and seduc... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 The Magnepan 1.6 has only peers, no superiors. That's my opinion anyway. I thoroughly enjoyed the two pairs, and about 5 years that I owned them. When you consider their cost, they are quite a bargain. There is a good reason speakers like the 1.6 ... | |
| definitive tech mythos ST for hometheater The Mythos is a fine sounding speaker but, during my auditioning the sub was either not set up properly or, it did not integrate all that well - or maybe both. I was always aware of cues coming from the subwoofers or, their respective radiators. T... | |
| martin logan vs magnepan sound The new Martin Logans sound superb, top to bottom. Integration on these is not a problem, as it was on previous models to some extent. The sound is pure, dynamic, extended and the imaging is spot on. They paint a very clear and pristine picture of... | |
| What is the best 2-way Magnepan ever made ? I like the newer Maggies. The older ones are fine sounding speakers but, the newer ones sound more coherent and, seem on average to be more even balanced. These are generalized comments though, as I have not compared them side by side. | |
| What is the best 2-way Magnepan ever made ? Probably any of the 2-way Maggies could be nominated for this. I would likely vote for the MG 1.6 also but, frankly the MG 12 is a superb sounding speaker too. There is a good reason the Absolute Sound considers the Magnepan 2-way speakers probabl... | |
| DCM speakers After reading many positive comments on these speakers from those that attended the HE 2007 show, I believe that is ample evidence of them being a very good speaker for the money, or maybe even multiples of what they cost. My advice is to first se... | |
| How much power do Marin Logan Vantages need? I don't know what the impedance curve looks like on the Vantage but, the figure likely drops as frequency increases due to the electrostatic panels. But.....The crossover frequency is higher on the Vantage than the Summit, something like 400 Hz I ... | |
| Anyone ever hear Meyer Sound X-10 speakers? The HD-1s cover a wide range and, if you're into rock music you will not need a sub. They are powered and of high quality. They are also very revealing but, keep in mind these are mastering devices first and foremost. The X-10s are awesome from wh... | |
| Best nearfield monitor? I would also recommend the SP Tech Timepiece. A very well engineered speaker that will provide excellent and detailed bass response and, will output SPL's that will crack the plaster on your walls long before it shows signs of stress. http://www.4... | |
| Are the Speltz Autoformers right for Maggies? I used the original Atma-sphere autotransformer with the MA-1s on my 3.6's and they worked perfectly well. Actually, Paul helped me with the connection as there was an error in the original autotransformer which he knew about. To this day, the MA-... | |
| amplifier power A good all purpose hybrid amp is the Butler TBD 2250. The new cost is a little over your $2500 budget but, they are often available on the used market for less. They sound good and, they rock with the best of them. Heck, you can likely get a new o... | |
| Looking to change from Thiel 7's Magnepan 20.1s. A great match with the Omega amps. Or just about any amp for that matter. A speaker well worth auditioning. | |
| Benchmark Dac 1 vs Bel Canto Dac 2 ????????????? I have owned them both and the Bel Canto is an order of magnitude superior in playback than the Benchmark (all in my opinion of course). The BC exudes a fluid sound character that is extended and dynamic while the Benchmade, although dynamic and c... |
