| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? To chime in on an update. I’ve since engaged @kingrex ’s services to spec out my AC lines and other fixes for my electrician to follow. Rex has been doing this for years and as he said above, I’ve since learned that it goes way, way beyond just ... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? @leeagc , while there is a really good chance I’d absolutely love the M2’s, between my recent cable upgrades and electrical (house AC) upgrades, adding decent subwoofers would be beyond my budget for sure. Would also need to power them with good c... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? I’m sure the M2’s are far better than the A5’s (they better be..), but again I’m worried about how they will perform in my larger room. And that dealer’s listening rooms are tiny… | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? @ronboco yes I’ve seen your photos and Avior I’d and it looks awesome. After ruling out all local options I may need to book that trip to Boston using my points…. A bit concerned about catching COVID or now monkeypox while traveling (what next), ... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? @ghdprentice , I’m unfortunately down to the last couple of speakers on the list - I’ve tested B&W 801 D4’s, Sonus Faber Amati’s, Audiovector Arette R6’s, and Magico A5’s. Of the bunch the Audiovector’s were the only ones that maybe I could l... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? For the benefit of this thread I have access to test Magicos, B&W, Sonus Faber, Audiovector, Wilson. Willing to travel to listen to Rockport + Diablo 300 because so damn many people have been suggesting this combo, assuming 30’ clearance betw... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? @bobbydd you are really making me want to re-test the A5’s at that other dealer. Will do that next weekend, after I test the Wilson Sasha DAW on Saturday (that dealer doesn’t have the Salon 2 on hand so that option is out). Again, I need to travel... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? @ronboco and others I could use my travel rewards points to fly to Boston to listen to Rockport Avior II with a Diablo 300, at Goodwin’s. My issue is whether my 30” max from the front wall to the rear of the speaker would be enough. My underst... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? Here’s a question about the work my electrician is about to do: is there any creative way I can isolate the AC noise that our tenants generate from our lines? Our tenants have their own breaker panel that is fed off of our breaker panel. Someone ... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @ditusa , yes I was planning on installing two lines, and then playing around with what configuration sounds the best. For others to reference, I’ve read it’s important to have all of your lines on the same electrical phase. The electrician will... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? Also, regarding at-home demos, I’m not aware of any dealers in my area that would allow at home demos of speakers of this size. | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? @ghdprentice , good advice, thank you. I’ve been in this hobby for decades and only recently realized that sensing musical engagement is the way to test speakers, rather then endless A/B comparisons! @henry201 , with my posts I aim to share in my... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? Thanks all. I read a pro review of the M2’s and the reviewer had what sounded like a very, very similar room to what I have - larger, open concept with the room extending out, with an open staircase. While the reviewer LOVED the speakers, he said ... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? This stuff is awesome and I barely comprehend the explanations, but it sounds like there are strong arguments that I’m going to really going to enjoy my big fat 10AWG wires with lower resistance, enabling more rapid access to glorious peak current... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? To be honest, I really wasn’t blown away by the A5’s. I had lugged my Diablo in and thought it would be great, but nope. Again they only had 250 hours on them. And they were in a very small listening room, with the A5’s way out from the wall (Ster... |
