| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! jrw1971, off-topic notwithstanding, I love that kind of thinking! Don't know how diagnostic this is but I love MAC amps and don't care much for CABs. I lean more toward Merlot, Cotes du Rhone, Chateaux Neuf du Pape, Bourdeaux (from Gironde), Pinot... | |
| Keeping Audiophilia And The Love Of Music Alive & Well! Interesting points of view, all! Truly appreciate hearing or, rather, reading how other folks approach this!I completely understand how one can never really know what a major component will sound like under one's roof until you actually get it th... | |
| Pairing MA 5300 with Large Advents for 900 sq ft apartment? Paulinastoria, you can email MAC. Just go to their site. You'll find the email address there. | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? Yukispier, is this desire for bass response on steroids related to a home theater application (e.g. action movies; etc.)? In an apartment or condominium setting, even at low volumes, bass like that is still likely to annoy your neighbors. Even a d... | |
| Pairing MA 5300 with Large Advents for 900 sq ft apartment? This is a great question for MAC Labs and, as a MAC owner myself (actually, the MAC owns me), I would recommend you email this question to them. In my experience, they have always been very helpful with just about any questions you might have abou... | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? Like everything in forums like this, this is just an opinion... a preference. So, please don't get your shorts or panties in a twist!I haven't read all the the responses/comments in this thread. However, I have to say I am solidly in the camp of ... | |

| Safe and Sound (safeandsoundhq.com) Just want to chime in with another thumbs-up for Safe and Sound Audio in Chicopee, MA! I purchased a CD player from them years ago. I still use it and am still very pleased with its performance. Whenever I am in the market for a new toy, I defi... | |
| Speaker Road Trip Dadork, I understand the angst all too well, having recently completed a many months quest to replace a beloved pair of Paradigm. However, my longest road trip was only 2 hours; nothing compared to what you and your family endured. God bless them ... | |
| Speaker Road Trip Huh? You "drove from the very tip of the mitt in Michigan to Nashville."? I admire the zeal and dedication but wouldn't Music Direct in Chicago have been less of a haul?. They probably wouldn't have everything you're interested in, unless they ha... | |
| And My Budget Is... Chayro, I like your style! Last time I went shopping for speakers I set my budget at $2,000. Nothing I listened to made me think it was any better or that much better than my old 20 year old Paradigm Monitor 9 (the originals). So, I started lis... | |
| Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s... Certainly don't want to rain on your parade but have you heard the maggies or any other electrostatic design speakers? Some like 'em; some don't. Of course, the same can be said for virtually any speaker.Personally, with regard to speakers, I do... | |
| HiFi Furniture WOW! Just checked out those SGR racks. They're beautiful! Also, mucho dinero! Not what KUNALRAIKER has in mind. | |
| HiFi Furniture Enjoyed the comedic banter about what folks used in college and thought I'd add this for fun. For the longest time, I used cinder blocks & boards (e.g. 1.5" X 12" X 36" joined solid wood like long butcher blocks) with foam padding between them... | |
| Best Sounding Speaker Cables? Ghdprentice, you "(SCANNED) the article"? Ordinarily, I'd say try reading EVERYTHING and reading it THOROUGHLY and for comprehension before proffering an opinion. Then again, your mind is obviously too closed for that, made up and already knows ev... |
