Kill Bill Soundtrack
cosmicI am not into gore at all, it is almost campy the way he does it but, the black and white images mixed with beautiful colors in other shots.... well, it is like the House on the Rock in Wisconson, you just cannot explain it.I liked it anyway

I think the Bang Bang song by Nancy Sinatra was done in the 60s, Cher did it several years later.Cosmic Void: the movie is at the theatre right now, go see it but, be prepared for a bloodbath as this is as over the top as you can get in all respec...

Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
FWIWWhen I had an Innersound ESL amp and Maggie 1.6 speakers they played very very loud. It is surprising for a planar speaker but the volume was undeniable. 
If you haven't, you should
Thanks I will check her outAMG sez:Patty Griffin is one of the most promising singer-songwriters to come out of the Boston/Cambridge folk music scene in the past few years. Although her two albums have been sparsely produced, Griffin's poetic lyri... 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
Just try the Innersound ESL amplifier, you can get one for about $1200.00. The clarity, presence and bass control with that amp is quite nice, if you do not like it you can sell it again. It will have enough power as it is designed to run speakers... 
What components sound best with Reynaud Trentes?
John I got the Reynaud HP216A speaker bi wire and it is an improvment over the single run of AZ Hologram I used before. They are very defined across the spectrum and extremely revealing without being bright in the slightess, they also are very dyn...

Best Full Range Speakers For Under $1100 ?
Vandersteen 2ce has bass down to 29hz and a full and musical sound. 
Magnepan MMG
Maggies need tons of break in and it could take months of hard use til they loosen up and show all of their colors.When broken in they will lose the forward and constricted quality and be more relaxed and extended and open sounding. 
Where are your maggies??
I always felt the 1.6s were bright and especiall touchy and revealing about how they were driven and associated components, my theory is the massive tweeter/QR ribbons have so much output they sometimes need taming.I agree with the Cardas method o... 
Which speakers excel at low volume?
anything by Reynaud 
Which Amp will make the802N sing
FWIW - A friend had N803s and the Rowland Concentra II was by far the best match beating Levinson, BAT, Rogue and Plinius. 
Which amp is best to drive Magneplanar 1.6's?
I used a Plinius SA100 MKIII with my 1.6s and the bass is hard to beat, addictive really. I would not recommend a subwoofer which would be hard to match with the excellent bass the Maggies already have, if you heard that setup I think you would ag...
