Magnepan center channel and rears?
Yes, I have the room 11 x 19, and use the 1.6, CC3 for front. I have heard the MC1 and plan on buying them for the rears. Worth every penny.Make the CC3 a higher priority than the rears though if budget is an issue. Remember, rear surround sound i... 
Room setup Questions: Small Room with Magnepan MMG
Square room is major problem. It is just almost impossible to get good sound. My room with my Maggie 1.6 is 10 wide (I would love 12 feet wide minimum) but the length is 19 feet. Again, not ideal but way better than square.Needless to say, for sta... 
Removed sofa, thought I needed more bass trapping
I should make a few clarifications in my message.First, the sofa was actually a Futon. Are those not mainly constructed of cotton type material?I believe that the dipole nature of the Maggies does not work well with corner bass traps. As stated ea... 
Magnepan vs. Martin Logan
Maggies win hands down for me. Just my two cents. Apogees delivered more shear excitement than either Maggies or Logans, but they ain't around any more unfortunately.R. 
Is parts Connexion still in business???
I just spoke to Chris the other day on the phone. He has my cd player. SO I certainly hope so! Call, I think they are very, very busy and he just doesn't get time to respond to all the email. He needs to know you are a serious potential buyer.R. 
Suggestions for bang for your buck speaker cables
I have used Tara Labs Space and Time TFA Return II speaker wire for many years. Cable Company still sells a 10 foot pair for like $100. Your can order longer lengths. Call me fool, but I have auditioned speaker wires from Cable Company at 3 - 4 ti... 
Tickets to CES - Where can I get them?
Thanks - I found the site to register. 
Do tube dampers improve sound?
I like the sound improvement of the Herb Audio dampeners. And they are inexpensive.R. 
Review ... Neil Diamond's "12 Songs"
I will check this out, as I am a Neil Diamond buff. He is one of those few artists that is true to himself. So much of modern music today is just marketing and what sells.R. 
Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm
My friend has Tyler Acoustic Ref monitor speakers and they are great sounding and a phenomenal value. He is a full time musician (harpsichord). If you are one of the few people who do not like the Tylers, then you can return them in 20 days for a ... 
What Denon AVR is Equal to the Arcam 300
No Denon unit up to the $4K mark equals the sound of the Arcam AVR 300 in my opinion.That said, I currently run a Rotel 1065. I wanted the Arcam, but none were available used, so I settled for a close second (Rotel). That said, I am due to receive... 
McCormack dna-1 with revisions/modifications?
Your talking my language bro. Our systems are very similar.I run Maggie 1.6 and CC3 center. Rear channels are just bookshelves from years back, but eventually want to get MMGW's for the rears when I get moved into a different room with more space ... 
Fuses - Why do same size fuses sound different?
Tbg, yes I did try the IsoClean fuses in both directions. There was a clear sonic difference in changing the orientation of the fuse. But neither orientation satisfied me.Much of my system is solid state combined with a passive preamp which gives ... 
Fuses - Why do same size fuses sound different?
I just recently bought IsoClean fuses for my Maggie 1.6 speakers. Not being critical of any individuals tastes out there, but I believe that "Tweaks" and "Mods" are very system dependant. They may work great in one combination of stereo components...
