| How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies Rogue 120 with Maggie 1.6 will play loud enough for most but was (oddly) lifeless sounding to me. An Innersound ESL amp (SS) with 600+ watts sounded much more vibrant and alive.yes 40 watts will work for low volume listening but you will find your... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? frankly I would make sure you have the best wire before proceeding, you can gain quite a bit with quality cables that match your components....if you have not done this already of course.......:^) | |
| Any Lambchop fans here? recommend an album plz. thanks Prfont for the recommendation,I am listening to Joe Henry's 'Scar' for the first time as I write this and I can see the similarities to Lambchop's 'Is a Woman'. It is a little more upbeat and jazzy but with the same sounding guitar tone and... | |
| Quads - Just a couple of questions the Maggies are rough sounding in comparison, the Quads will have much better low level detail and a better sense of 'purity'. The Maggies are no slouch in either catagory it is just that the Quads are among the very best at any price in these reg... | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... Journey to the Center of Your Mind by Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes in the 60's and Billy Cobham Stratus later on... | |
| anyone like Nico - Chelsea Girl? thank you Agoners...BTW I like Eno too :^) | |
| Vandersteen speakers and biwiring a friend owned some 2Cs a while back and when we bi wired them I was shocked at the improved control of the bass and bigger more open sound. This was one of my first times hearing the difference with bi wire and a learning experience too. | |
| Any Lambchop fans here? recommend an album plz. I do not remember their names but, after first buying 'Is a Woman' I bought a few of their higher rated albums (allmusic) and they were not as good IMO. The style of them is more typical pop/alternative music. I can not think of another group to c... | |
| Review: Audio Note Conquest Tube amp AN-V is very good but AN-VX is quite a bit better with more extension and definition and the AN-VZ is indescribable, musical is the only word that can work...Glory, I am jealous as I am 'slumming' with a Soro SE and dream of the Meishu. | |
| McIntosh vs. ARC I have a friend with the 402s and I do not find them especially 'tubelike' instead they are pretty good for solid state amplifiers - smooth but flat when played with B&W 802D speakers and Meridian CD player | |
| Questions for specialists on “warmth” maybe a better term would be 'warmly balanced sound' because it is always a balancing act between high, mid and low frequencies. If speakers are too close to the wall, the lower frequencies will be louder and this would add warmth to the sound so ... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? I have heard some LAT speaker wire(do not know the model but around $400)that was absolutely pedestrian and the Goertz easily beat it. | |
| 4 ohm amp into 8 ohm speaker or 8 ohm am into 4 oh speakers are rated by nominal impedance, you really do not know what you have by that rating, it is more of a guideline...Just try for yourself and then tell us what you think! | |
| HDTV transmitter/antenna information OzzyFWIW - In Kalamazoo CBS and NBC are both VHF and I can not get CBS yet but the UHF are coming in finego figure.... | |
| HDTV transmitter/antenna information Just a little update...I bought a Winegard 8200P antenna (one of the top antennas you can buy) on the advice of a local dealer, and put it into my attic first - to see what channels I could receive. I can get all the networks except for CBS which ... |
