| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? French_fries,Magnamupi205 answered your original question with his ranking of monitor speakers. This list is based on his own listening experiences with the speakers. The Q1 came out on top with the B&W quite a few places down.I'm sure others ... | |
| SME owners, what is your table sitting on? I have replaced the Townshend Seismic Sink that was under my unsuspended SME Model 10 with a Vibraplane. The Vibraplane is more effective at isolating the turntable. It works in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The TSS was good but the Vib... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? Magnumpi,Thanks for the information. Is you list written in order of preference? If so, yours would seem to be one answer to the OP. | |
| Dynavector XX-2 vs. Airt Tight PC 3 I own a PC-1 with which I am very happy. It replaced a Sumiko Celebration. There are two for sale now on Audiogon within your price range. One is used and one is new. Great review in TAS. I have not heard the PC-3. | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? Magmumpi205,That is a nice list of speakers. Do you care to elaborate? I'd be interested in reading your impressions of the Q1 vs. the Mini II in particular, but also some thoughts on the others. Have you ever heard the Evolution Acoustics MMOne? ... | |
| Sirius and Walker I've never heard the Rockport, but I have heard the Walker and it was part of a system that sounded very convincing. So I have little experience with the two turntables discussed in this thread. However, I agree with Dover that Jtinn, or any repre... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? I own the Magico Mini II. Though I haven't heard the Q1 yet, I've read it is even better. Less cabinet noise, more extended high and low. I listened to a few speakers, both full range and more limited, and given my room and appreciation for what t... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Q7 yet? I haven't heard the Q7, but I did attend demos of the Q5 and Q3 with Alon Wolf present, and the volume seemed just below "live" levels. With such low levels of distortion, the audition was quite comfortable and non fatiguing. I sit in the 12th row... | |
| SME speed adjustment Agree with Ketchup,Imagine the wall being 30 feet away versus only 2 feet away. The greater the distance to the wall, the more pronounced any drift of the Timeline dot from a starting reference point Simple geometry.Halcro,I see your point. I can'... | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! I agree that the Sumiko Celebration is a good option. It was designed using an SME V arm. I had the combination until I recently bought an AirTight PC-1. There is a well written review of the Celebration in an old issue of TAS. The Celebration, IM... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Syntax and Ebm, You guys just kill me. Too much. | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Q7 yet? I'm sure some will be sold. Perhaps not at full retail, but that is usually not known. The 94 dB efficiency is most welcome in these sealed/cone speakers (as a Mini II owner, I would appreciate more efficiency). But how do you move a speaker that ... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not I think Ebm's post is one of the funniest I've read in a long time. | |
| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock Great review Pettyfeversk. Thanks for taking the time to write it. Your experience is very similar to the one I had when I switched from the XA100.5 to the XA160.5. My speakers are harder to drive than yours, so the 100.5 was not enough power.I ha... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Syntax, you made my day. That is hilarious. Perhaps that guy's soul went to heaven. |
