| magneplanar and sanders I would agree that the Maggies likely need more accutriments than the Sanders. Everything I did helped: biamping, a high quality external crossover, Mye stands - so include all that in your budget if you want to feel you're getting the most out of... | |
| Best shipper for 200lb amp? I've had very good luck with Pilot Air. And it is especially reasonable if you bring the amp to the depot (one in most major metropolitan areas) and it is picked up at a depot on the other end. Without home delivery, it becomes really reasonable. ... | |
| magneplanar and sanders They are both great speakers. The 20.1's need a lot of room to breath - I had them in a 14x19 room (11' high) and that was too small. Also, they need quite a bit of amplification. If you buy them, I would consider the Sanders amp, as well as other... | |
| Dedicated Line ....... my system SUCKS I agree that there would be benefit, if you are having a dedicated line installed, look into two dedicated lines and put your amplifiers near your speakers to use shorter speaker cable runs (and longer interconnects). Multiple posts on the advanta... | |
| B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ?? Can anyone speak to the room size limitations of the C1? My room is 14x18 with an average ceiling height of 11'. Is that room to large for the C1's? Would I lose their impressive bass or their ability to load the room? | |
| Avalon Indra with 35w SET amplifiers I just tried a 70 watt EL34 amplifier on it (Cary SLM 70). Typically a very nice amp with lots of finesse, just could't strut its stuff on the Indras. Listenable, but they need more power to shine. | |
| Best external hard drive to store PC ripped music Hi Sufentanil (Michael),I've got a Mac Mini with a 2TB drive nearly filled up, largely with uncompressed music. I've got a couple 1.5 TB drives hanging around, and would like to use one for backup with Time Machine. Will Time Machine compress thin... | |
| Recommended crossovers for Maggie 20.1s I agree that the Pass is likely great. I didn't miss a gain control on Tom's Xover at all. It just sounded great. In any case, I experimented with solid state amps on the bottom (Bel Canto Ref 1000, Parasound JC-1's, Bryston) and reasonably powere... | |
| Best Classical Stations on Internet Radio I think the programming on WQXR is excellent. I'll have to check out some of the other suggestions, but this just shows how subjective both music and sound appreciation can be! | |
| iTunes Versions Also, I've read some comments that the interface is more "bland" and less easy to navigate to find music. Anyone found this to be the case? | |
| Squeezebox Apps for Iphone/Itouch Looks like I have version 1.2.7. | |
| Squeezebox Apps for Iphone/Itouch I assume squeezepad is not appropriately scaled to be used on a Ipod Touch... is that true? | |
| More powerful amp for top or bottom? Strangely enough, when I was bi-amping Maggie 20.1's, sound was best with more power on treble and mids. Never would have expected that... | |
| Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me?? I've got 2.5 gb on my mac mini. Is that enough memory?Thanks, Peter | |
| Fela Kuti on Vinyl - Where To Start? I've got quite a few Fela albums on vinyl, though I am away from home and can't tell you the label. I've also got a multi-LP vinyl compilation. I know the quality of the compilation is not impressive, and I don't recall the LP's having impressive ... |
