| McIntosh MA5200 hum Late to this dance, I know, but I have a MAC MA5200 with no hum issues. I've loved it for 3 or 4 years now. My suggestion? Call an electrician and have him or her check your outlets. Of course, you can do that yourself if you know what you're ... | |
| McIntosh MA5200 Got a lotta time on my hands today and thought I'd revisit old posts and try to wrap this up.I found my solution to this ultimate question: Revel Performa3 F206. Best speakers I auditioned under $5,000.00 for my MAC MA5200 and I auditioned somew... | |
| Anyone have experience with Aerial Acoustics 6Ts? Got a lotta time on my hands and reviewing old posts.n80, have you pulled the trigger, yet, on your speaker quest?I should have mentioned that the Aerial Acoustics, although relatively efficient, are a 4 ohm design. They sounded very nice with t... | |
| Need Help! This is offered just in case anyone happens upon this thread looking for similar solutions.After several email exchanges with MAC Labs, Mofi, TT lab and others, I eventually solved this problem without spending any dough. I got rid of my AT&T... | |
| Which VTF Scale are you using? I use the Audio Additives Stylus Force Gauge. Relatively inexpensive, extremely accurate and easy to use. I also still have and will never part with my old trusty Shure SFG-2 that I bought in the 70s. It's old school (i.e. not digital; all cou... | |

Your post is perfect for driving audiophiles crazy. Perhaps you ... | |
| Anyone have experience with Aerial Acoustics 6Ts? Several weeks ago, a fellow audiophile friend and I spent about 3.5 hours in a shop doing some critical listening to several speakers I am considering for an upgrade for a 2 channel system. The 6T was one of them. First, we listened through a Mc... | |
| Best Speakers for a MAC M5200 Yes. I've read several reviews on those. Sandy Gross is a fine speaker designer. However, those and most active speakers would be inappropriate for my listening room. I'm relatively certain those side-firing woofers would wreak havoc on my tur... | |
| Best Speakers for a MAC M5200 Thanks. There is a shop near enough to me that sells Spendor speakers. When it's safe to go out again, I will definitely give the A7 a listen. I've read reviews of them.As for the Klipsch Forte iii, it's much too wide for my room placement issu... | |
| McIntosh MA5200 I know I’m late to this dance, as well, but let me contribute some personal experiential feedback to this wacky thread because I, also, am struggling with a speaker upgrade choice for a 2 channel system with the MAC MA5200. I bought mine about 3 y... |
