Monoblocks with lots of bottom end?
NO7tqn, I just wanted to point out that the bass response your friend is getting from his Apogee's, and your lack of bass response from your Maggies is room dependant. It would be a shame if you sold the Maggies, bought the Apogee's only to find y...

Dat1 and Ted, thank you for sharing your positive impressions about the Sason's. Robert and Steve are currently working on plans for a sub, however I really don't know at what stage they are in. Ted, I agree with you 100% about the cost of the Sas... 
Ridge Street Audio Sason Ltd. Loudspeaker
I wanted to expound a bit on Robert's earlier mention of the musician preparing for the next note, and even measures. The Sason's conveyed the uncanny ability to express the space between notes. This space and what is contained therein is critical... 
NOS tubes for Aesthetix Calypso
I had an opportunity to try several different nos brands, and ultimately decided to go with Ediswan 6922's and Telefunken 12AX7's. The Ediswan's are really smooth, yet detailed, and presented somewhat of a sweeter signature in the upper and middle... 
Multi Chassis Isolation?
Distortion, I currently own a RA Opus 21. I have the units sitting beside each other and I use three BDR cones under each chassis which makes a considerable improvement. I also "mass load" the chassis by placing a 20 lb. sandbox on top to dampen t... 
Sound Application for power amps
711smilin, what amp do you use with the SA unit? Thank you 
Sound Application for power amps
Puremusic, my main concern is whether or not the SA will limit the performance of amplifiers when plugged into the SA units. Can you comment on that? Thank you 
Preamp impedance mismatch with McCormack DNA2
I have talked with Steve McCormack. He was very helpful,and advised to look at preamps with a 1000 ohms or less output impedance. I have read many reviews on several balanced preamps and even though they may may have an output impedance substantia... 
What cable for Vandersteen 2WQ subs
Braro, over the past 15 years I have owned three pairs of the Vandy subs, and I am currently using a pair with my Maggie 3.6r's. I highly recommend upgrading the wire. My first pair I switched from stock wire to Kimber 8TC, and noticed a pretty si... 
Amplifier for Vandersteen 5A' s ?
Thank you for all the suggestions. I fully intended on trying the Pass amps first, however those 5's really don't need the power the pass amps have and in the process I could pocket a little change. I did consider the Mccormack. I used to own the ... 
music to wake up vandy 5a subs
Alpass, Stanley Clarke's East River Drive has got alot of not only deep, but dynamic bass content, and is a superlative example of what a killer bass player he truly is. I hope this helps. 
Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..
Jesse Cook, Marc Antoine, Peter White, and Adrian Legg. Most of this is Nylon String stuff. For steel try Kitaro Oshio. 
How's my imaging?
Vman, I honestly can't remember a speaker that I've ever owned that didn't image at or near the height that your describing. If you want imaging to be believable I would think your height should be right where it's at. Speakers that throw a lower ...
