| full range close to wall positioning Gradient Revolution speakers are designed to be placed near the wall and have received many rave reviews over the years - though they are power hungry (about 93db I think) | |
| Best speaker cable for Maggies??? Alpha Core Goertz MI2 Veracity | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP pre-amp I only noticed the subdued high end after comparing the 1UP to my Muse CD player. They sounded very similar except the Muse was a bit aggressive on top in comparison, which I always felt to be the case before the comparison. | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP pre-amp several listening sessions at a friends house concluded that the EMC-1UP CD player is a bit subdued on top, liquid in the mids with terrific bassvery nice | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Aldavis check out Jeff Becks new DVD he played a wide variety of songs and nailed every one. | |
| Hyperion 938,Emerald,Aurum Cantus,JM reynaud,Gallo the Reynaud is a very fine speaker, very good midrange, similar in sound to Spendor though a bit better IMO - depending on model of course. I have heard the Trentes and Offrandes... | |
| Can someone give me some insight. I do not see a mention of speaker wire. I would make sure to use a quality speaker wire (not zip cord) and then see where you are regarding sound.Also, fwiw, I would be tempted to replace everything with Bluejean wire. They have been mentioned in ... | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? thanks wwwrecords, the ending especially is very good... | |

| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? I have heard Watt Puppy's with Jadis tube gear and it was amazing. My friend had WP as well with all ss and I did not like it nearly as much (though pretty darn good but VERY fickle)I know my experience is with the WP not Sophia 2 but I hope this ... | |
| More of a Tube Sound In a Tube CD player frankly i think mixing tubes and ss gets you just a bit of what each have to offer. better off going all ss or tubes imoalso fwiw i find Audio Note to be musical/neutral as opposed to 'tubey' | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs Magnepan 1.6qr Who wins?? Tpreaves I had the 1.6 with a cheaper Musical Fidelity amp and it sounded pretty good but I guess the point I was making is that they need more power than most speakers and that power comes at a price. Part of it for me is that I like tube amps an... | |
| Best path to test different interconnects? it does not take days to hear a difference but it may take days or weeks to hear all of the differences - and that would only apply to your system. I have heard great differences in wire from system to system. You may plug the wire in and hear the... | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs Magnepan 1.6qr Who wins?? I moved from Maggie 1.6 to Reynaud Trente and preferred the Reynaud's. I did not miss the open quality the Maggie has as much as some think you will (though that is a very nice thing about the Maggie speaker). The bottom line for me is the Maggie ... | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs Magnepan 1.6qr Who wins?? what amp you use and room thay are in will determine which is better for you. they are about equal in performance. I lean toward the Maggie but then I think Harbeth are a bit overrated... |
