| a couple of questions about maggies I've had a pair of 12'2 for about seven months now. Been driving it with a Stan Warren modified Adcom gfa 5400 (125w @ 8ohm, 200w @ 4ohm) and a Quicksilver tubed linestage. At normal listening levels the sound is excellent; smooth yet detailed. Ho... | |
| Philips 795SA Tidybear,Have you used or are you using the 795SA as a transport? Comments please. And is the digital out upsampled?Thanks. | |
| Difference between Class a and a/b zoya,your explaination is incorrect. Your description of class A is actually a single ended design(i.e. one output device handling the entire signal). class A can also use two output devices, one handling each phase. however both devices stay powe... | |
| Magnepan MG 12 v NHT VT 2.4 I acquired a pair of MG 12's recently and am very happy with them. Just a few things to keep in mind...1) make sure your amp is up to driving the maggies,2) placement is a bitch. Moving the speakers half an inch will affect the sound. It took me a... | |
| Need help from tube guys to select a tube preamp I've been pretty happy with Quicksilver's linestage. I've seen used one for around your price range. | |
| Modified Adcom 5400 or Stock 5500? Thanks guys.Didn't think about the 500 series amp. I owned a 555II about 10 years ago. | |
| Magnepan 12s I've gotten pretty good results using a B&K ST1400II. 125 watts @ 8ohms. They usually sell for @ $300 used. | |
| Good Preamp for Adcom GFA-5400 $500 new or used Personally, in the $500 range, I would go passive. There are a few things you have to watch out for...since the source (I presume it's a cd player) is driving the amp you need to match the output impedance of the cd with the input impedance of the... | |
| Comments on Nakamichi PA5 thanks guys. | |
| typical problems with low end int. tube amps? How about a hybrid (intergrated or separate)? That's what I use currently. A tube pre will impart just enough of the warmth you're looking for.Jolida makes a hybrid intergrated that just may be what you're looking for. | |
| Amp Selection Assistance Needed I've listened to N804 driven by a dna-2 delux extensively. great match! b&w speakers tend to sound very warm/lush and the mccormacks neutral-lean sound is a great balance. also great soundstage. | |
| Budget Amp for Maggie MMG's Personally, I prefer the CE775 over the NS500V. Auditioned both before purchasing the CE775. It sounds a little better (highs a little smoother, more airy sound). However, if you need a dvd player also then I guess the NS500V way to go.By the way ... | |
| Queen quandry I recently purchased mofi's remaster of "The Game". Don't know if all the queen mofi remasters are the same way, but The Game wasn't all that impressive. | |
