| Magneplanar 3.7 - recommended preamp and amp Atmasphere- thanks for your comments. i have used a tube preamp with a solid state amp and it worked fine together. I will look at this again for the new speakers. I will however be going with a solid state amp. I'll look into the Mogami wires. | |
| Magneplanar 3.7 - recommended preamp and amp Thanks for everyone's response. I am open to using a tube preamp coupled to a solid state amp (I've done that before). I'll look in them. Jallen- for Pass amps do you think there are some that would provide enough drive and yet be within my price ... | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals I've learned that the choice of music preferences is a very personal thing. Having said that I will say that the first song that comes to mind is Fire and Rain as done by Blood Sweat and Tears. I find it so much more interesting musically than the... | |
| Magico - a new Mini? Our responses here can serve as good feedback to Magico. Perhaps they will make a V1 version of the Mini to accommodate those of us would prefer the wood look. | |
| Magico - a new Mini? IMHO - The weight of the evidence is on the side of Magico. We'll find out more about the Q1 in the coming months. Stenheim has to prove themselves. From what I know Goldmund speakers never caught on in the US in any big way. If Stenheim can creat... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 Has anyone heard it at this past week? | |
| Magico - a new Mini? James63 - thanks for finding this thread and providing your update. The Mini II is no longer listed in their website's product section, but the backplate of the Mini appears on one of their main pages---perhaps a tease for products to come!Anyway,... | |
| Magico - a new Mini? thanks for the information. While aluminum may be more neutral sounding there are a number of us who like the wood/metal combination look and find it more fitting in a home environment where you can't have a dedicated room. But I understand Wolf's... | |
| Merlin TSM-MX-r Owner Review Great review- clear, balanced, and thoughtful. Enjoy your speakers! Thanks for taking time to write it up! | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 Owner Hi - It's great to have a dealer to work with on setup. I bought Mag 3.6 speakers and Nick was great at setting them up and advising on distances to rear wall, etc. They are also helpful in electronics matching and are sensitive to people's budget... | |
| Sim Audio i-5 or Bel Canto s300id integrated The Sim i-5 is a better sounding piece IMO. I had owned the Bel Canto unit but didn't like the discontinuity between the bass and the midrange/highs. By this I mean that the bass was very present/solid but sounded different/out of place with the r... | |
| Speakers For A Mini System I like the Epos speakers. Started with the 303 then moved up to the M5 and now the M5i. I'm quite pleased.I have the speakers on an open shelf where they are 6 inches from the back wall. No significant bass problem. I find them to be more neutral ... | |
| BAT at CES? Are they coming out with a new integrated amp to replace the old series? | |
| Does Wilson Sophia Sound good at low volumes? If I recall correctly you need to consider the Munson Fletcher effect hearing effect. At low volume levels bass is attenuated relative to the rest of the range. So a speaker with ideal laboratory response won't sound as good at low volume levels a... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging I like Johnnyb53's suggestion. The Thiel will soundstage like few speakers I know in this price range. You owe it to yourself to listen to them even if you don't buy a pair. (I'm an Epos guy myself). Good luck --- please update us. |
