| Has anyone demoed Audio Teknes cables? the Audio Teknes speaker wire is superb, I am not familiar with the Dynaflux but it must be very good to beat the AT. | |
| Best band of the 80's Police are the first band that came to mind, they were truley awesome. | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? I can tell you between ATC and B&W 803 there is no contest, the midrange on the ATC (I think active 50) is a big step up in clarity and palpablity. The B&Ws are more coherent but are better in no other way. There is a big price difference ... | |
| Reynaud Magic Stand, spikes on carpet? My brother is going to make me some custom made spikes out of metal for my magic standsI will let you guys knowthanks to all | |
| Reynaud Magic Stand, spikes on carpet? Thanks Bob, my speakers have something on the bottom that is tacky and about 3/8" diameter and 1/8" thick, I will ask the seller what it is as I presume the Trentes are not sold with it on. It seems to be almost the consistancy of blue tac so it m... | |
| Any opinions on LAT Intl. interconnects ?? Compared to Nordost Blue Heaven the LAT were a little warmer and not quite as extended or detailedA pretty good IC but there are better to be had in the lower price catagory | |
| Harbeth C7ES vs Maggie 1.6 QR Well guys I thought about the Harbeths but saw a good deal on some Reynaud Trentes and replaced my 1.6s with them. I am very happy as they are quite a bit more detailed and have better tone.I do not even think about the box vs planar thing as thes... | |
| Speakers with Depth Layering abilities Reynaud TrentesI owned Maggie 1.6s for a few years and the Trentes are clearly better at revealing subtle audio cues in very fine gradations front to back, they go deeper with finer precision. | |
| What components sound best with Reynaud Trentes? Johnthanks for the response, I am now listening to my Trentes (Paul McCartney's first album on vinyl) and am getting goosebumps.They are not even close to being setup properly as they are on 2 cinder blocks and sitting about 16" high. They remind ... | |
| Are our own reviews tainted ? I have always felt people post really good items or really bad items but not in between, and jaded towards the good or rave reviews. | |
| 3.6 Maggie owners input needed on amps........... If you do not need it too loud I would recommend a Plinius SA 100 MKIII, it worked amazingly well with my 1.6s with excellent attention to bass detail and impact while keeping a beautiful midrange tone. In comparison to the Innersound ESL amp the ... | |
| Maggies on my mind. ML 383 sounded thin, grainy and uninvolving with my Maggie 1.6s. Plinius 8200MKII is much better. | |
| What amp to drive B&W N 804's Sell both (plus 1 set of ICs) and buy a Rowland Concentra II integrated, it is a magical pairing with a friends N803s. | |
| Best SS integrated for Pro Ac Response 3.8 I have heard Brian's Concentra II (above) and it is a brilliant piece of audio gear.It is one of those rare pieces where you forget about the stereo and the music gets transported to your living room.We have both listened to many pieces of gear on... | |
| Interconnect suggestion? Nordost/Kimber/AudioQuest I thought the Blue Heaven was thin with my Maggie 1.6sAcoustic Zen WOW are better for a little more money. |
