| Replace vintage NAD 7020? my parents have the 7020 along with B&W DM23 speakers, I am always struck by the musical qualities this combo has. Very listenable and tuneful though it is lacking a bit in detail and a bit thick.I recently hooked up my 3020 and saw a spark ne... | |
| Speakers that image best from corners 12' apart the wall unit is killing any image you hope for, however, I like Audio Note speakers in the corners, they image fine in my 13 x 22 room.

| Maggies with Tubes? Doak, that makes sense about the Rogue M120 because I also used a Manley Stingray with the 1.6 and it had a vibrant sound, more alive than the Rogue. | |
| All things Bill Evans. thanks for the informative post!I have one thing to say about 'Blues and the Abstract Truth'HO DOWN!It is a favorite of mine as well :^D | |
| Maggies with Tubes? I had Rogue M120s (120 tube watts) with my 1.6's and it had beautiful tone but sounded dull and lifeless. | |
| Compared Spectron to Sanders Magtech 4 Mags 3.6? fwiw I had an Innersound ESL amp (a Sanders design) with Maggie 1.6 and always wished I had kept it after buying something else. It was very lively and open, anything else on the Maggies sounded a bit dull and lifeless.let us know how it goes... | |
