| Maggies New or Older Models??? I love my 1.6's but if you want any volume or dynamic range you will need a lot of power. As stated above they need to be placed well out into the room for the best bass response and imaging, at least 4 ft from the back wall. If these things do no... | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions Love my Plinius SA100 MKIIImagic midrange, smooth highs, articulate bass | |
| Here, there a Chick, Where else a Chick Corea ? Bravo - good postI agree with everyoneCrystal SilenceMy Spanish HeartThe leprichaunThe Mad Hatterare my favorites too please keep the unknown albums coming | |
| BAT VK-200 or Odyssey Stratos for Magiess 1.6s? OOPS I thought you were asking for alternatives too, I need more sleep | |
| BAT VK-200 or Odyssey Stratos for Magiess 1.6s? I recommend Plinius SA 100 MKIII (I have not heard the 102). I went from a Rogue 120 Magnum to the Plinius and the Plinius beat it in all areas except for not quite as liquid a midrange (very close). One review I read about it said it gave an inne... | |
| I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" It was not only recorded in one take (all but one song which took two) I am almost certain none of the musicians had ever played the music before. I do not care about this either but FYI.I like Kind of Blue because it almost has a melody or someth... | |
| Maggie1.6 bi-wire or single? The Satori I bought is used and therefore broken in.After listening to the AZ Satori I am amazed at the things it does right, it is very open and detailed, much more so than the MI2 Veracity, it also sets a beautiful soundstage with tons of air ar... | |
| Thiel cs 2.3 or B&W N803,804? A friend has B&W 803's and they need a fair amount of power but I think they sound very nice. Some people think they are a little bright, I have never heard that quality, they are very detailed and cohesive from the highs to the bass. I do not... | |
| Looking for the right interconnect Wombat 3 the Kimber Hero got a rave review in TAS. They have been highly regarded for a few years now and are known for their bass performance and nice tone. You can buy them used for about $75 | |
| Looking for the right interconnect SubaruguruI just tried some Alpha Core Tourmaline ($87 new) and I thought they had better tone than the Blue Heaven though not as detailed, fucused or nuanced, I agree the Blue Heaven is very detailed but the WOW are letting a lot more detail thru... | |
| Maggie1.6 bi-wire or single? I know it is often a debate in these forums about biwire or single but this looks like biwire is the way to go. I will report back on the Satori single run tomorrow and compare them with my biwire MI2 (which is holding its own very nicely with my ... | |
| Looking for the right interconnect YES the proper interconnects will make a world of difference. Do not waste your time with inferior wire anywhere. I have learned this the hard way, by spending my money and time starting with Nordost Blue Heaven (and similar quality wire) and have... | |
| Linn or VPI SeanThe Linn store is no longer in Chicago, it turned into a place called Avant Garde and then went out of business. I do know one of the original employees from the Linn store if you want to email him, let me know, he is still in Chicago. | |
| 500 to spend on int.amp,help me match with gear. I second the Audio Refinement, one day my friends and I compared one to a Levinson 383 ($6000) and while the Levinson was better (with B&W 803's) we were all amazed that the Audio Refinement was not only listenable but had at least 80% of the ... | |
| New to tubes-what the heck does NOS mean? buy your tubes here, Vintage Tube Services, I found him to be WAY more friendly and helpful than Kevin Deal (at Upscale). His tubes are just as well tested and he will talk and help. http://vintagetubeservices.com/ |
