| Tube-amp for Magnepan? I ran a Rogue 120M with Maggie 1.6 before and it had nice tone but was boring, it just lacked dynamic rangeYMMVgood luck | |
| Music from House, MD "GO MAGGOT BRAIN"that dude is a god:^@ | |
| Noob Planar Speaker Advice Needed FWIW - I have heard of the low level listening 'problem' with Maggies before but I think it is only in comparison with something like a Quad ESL which excell at low volume detail. I owned 1.6s for a few years and the thought never occured to me (m... | |
| Warm to Neutral Speaker Cables under $800? I prefer Audio Note Lexus speaker wire the AZ Satori easily. It has beautiful tone and layer upon layer of information along with a big soundstage. | |
| Noob Planar Speaker Advice Needed maybe wait for the Maggie 1.7 that would be my choice... | |
| amp or preamp most important start at the speakers and work backwards, match speakers to room, amp to speakers, pre to amp and finally get a source that will blend with the overall tonal balance you desire, tweek with wire.IMO YMMV of course...so amp first! | |
| Fixing a Broken NAD C320BEE I guess my feeling is IF it gets repaired properly then you got a good deal but sometimes things do not work out that way and then the headaches begin.I do not want to jinx you, just my feelings... | |
| Fixing a Broken NAD C320BEE unless he is almost giving it away I would not even consider that arrangement, not worth the headaches when a used one is not that expensive (if you can find one) | |

| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal Stere5welcome to the lunatic fringe!I am glad you like your speakersIf I were you I would try another brand of wire just to see if you could enhance the bass (I know nothing of MIT - just a guess)my 2 cents... | |
| Manley Stingray Integrated amp. I bought one brand new (when it first came out) and in about a year I sent it back to have a selector switch replaced. They did it for free but I have heard others needed the same thing done. I imagine it has been at least 6 years or so since that... | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Darkkeys I always found 5 feet out from the wall to be the magic number for Maggies, any less and the bass draws attention to itself. fwiw the rooms I had them in were smaller than yours...ymmvalso fwiw, if the new 1.7 is as good as they say it se... | |
| Manley Stingray Integrated amp. the Stingray has beautiful tone and a vibrant soundvery nice | |
| Monitors for $1500-$2000 with NAD320BEE Integrated I used JM Reynaud Trentes with an NAD 3020 and it sounded amazing (for using a 26 year old amp that cost $200) With the 320BEE I bet they would really be good. (There is a part of me that wished I had kept those speakers). There is a pair for sale... | |
| Most Engaging Monitor? interesting thing about the LS3/5a I read recently that the older models have a smooth rise of about 3 db in the 1000 hz range (if my memory serves me correctly) I am not talking about the built in bump at 125 hz, this is something that happens ov... |
