| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? I've used both Spectral 150 Series I and Bel Canto Evo2 amplifiers. The Evo2 sounded great with it! A big soundstage with detail and solid bass. The highs had good extension. For the money (I believe $2900) a good alternative. Given all of the ide... | |
| Patricia Barber - New Live CD I went to see her last night in New York City. Good show, she did alot of the material that appears on "Fortnight". This recording is not a recap of all her prior material; alot of it is new, to my ears. It appears the band is shifting direction, ... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Some thoughts/ideas:1) Your room is very large, so you may need signicantly more power (as others suggest), or depending on your budget, you may want to consider the Mag 20.1. 2) Call the company!!!! They are there to help their customers! I read ... | |
| Wilson Alexandria Wpuppy, where did you hear them? How much better are they then the 7's? Thanks, | |
| is creek5350se best integrated for 1000-1200 bucks I recently bought a Creek 5350SE. Am using it with Audio Phyic Brilon II, Rega Jupiter, and Nordost cabling. I'm quite happy with it---its quite neutral. I also liked its looks, and it fit into my space requirements. It's been highly reviewed in m... | |

| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? Ideally you should listen to any potential 'buy' with your speakers in your room, but a second best would be to listen to the 3.6's in a dealer's room. You don't mention how loudly you listen. That's a factor as a 3 db increase in loudness require... | |
| Speaker Cable for Avalon Eidolons Drubin,I agree, generally. Calling Avalon, too, makes sense since they have done extensive testing of amps and cables with their speakers. | |
| Speaker Cable for Avalon Eidolons Guys,Guys,Guys---what matters is the cable-amplifier interaction. Its an amplifier cable, not a speaker cable! (Rushton is correct). Call Avalon and talk to them-they've used most cables on the market and who best would know what works with their ... | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? My favorite is Only Trust Your Heart, which I had Diana autograph for me at Birdland (NYC) several years ago. | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners Albert Porter states that SACD and redbook (cds)will be around for a long time. My understanding is the redbook cd's have an expected life of 10-15 yrs; at some point physical decay sets in. Please don't laugh at this comment. I enjoy both cds and... | |
| Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits I also like Brother in Arms alot, but at least on the lp the sound seems off. Was there a digital recording/mastering problem here? I hope the remastered version that some posts mention has eliminated this problem. Does anyone have any insight int... | |
| Your favorite blues album? One can never have one favorite(cd, wine, car, etc). I haven't seen it mentioned but check out John Campbell's One Believer. | |
| Krell amps with Magneplanar speakers Thanks for all your responses. From the comments it seems that tubes would mate well with the 3.6r's, unfortunately I need to stick with solid state. I'll be looking into the amps recommended by the writers, namely the Bryston, Rowland, Pass. Than... |
