| Review: Quad 12L-A Active Monitor When this review was written they did not exist. It took a couple years for the 11s to show up. There are 9s as well with an integrated USB dac. | |
| Speakers that sound like Grado headphones? Studio monitors in the near field. | |
| Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise Sebrof is correct. But the op also asks at some point if he would be doing a disservice to them with the simaudio. The answer to this in my opinion is yes.Magnepans need enormous amounts of juice to sound their best. They can sound good with much ... | |
| Active Speaker Recommendation AVI adm9 or 9.1 show up used on occasion for around $1k. These have an integrated dac and analog preamp with remote built in. To say they are stellar is a massive understatement.Quad 12l active is formidable in this class.For true pro monitors you... | |
| Quad 11L owners only, please list the amplifier... Arcam is fantastic with the quads as well. Even the a65+ sounds killer. Once you start talking newer arcam you really get a refined sound. | |
| Driving Magnepan MMG's with 50 wpc Rawson GC Magnepan measures sensativity differently than most so they are really far less sensative than 86db implies. You need more power- | |

| aragon 4004 matched w/quad 99 pre amp-impedence?? Are you asking if the ratio is appropriate? An output impedance of 330 ohms will drive just about anything. In addition, I recall the 4004 to be fairly sensative as well- I had a 2004mkii that I drove with tubes and even a passive.As for the Quad ... | |
| Scratch removal before ripping Toothpaste is the perfect mild abrasive! I have been using it with good results for over 10 years- I apply it with my finger. The reason an abrasive is neccessary is that the scratches create imperfections in the finishing coat of the disk. When t... | |
| Turn your Ipod into a Wireless Music Server/Remote Ernie, the apple tv can be controlled via an itouch/ iPhone without the need for a monitor. Software updates can be done over the pc. I set mine up with a tv- then brought it into my listening room and it hasent seen a video display since- almost ... | |
| rookie drunk move Maybe you wired out of phase? | |
| arragon 4004 amp?good pre amp-used-400-1000 range. Quad 99 would mate well- take the slight treble edge that generation Aragon tends to have while allowing the spectacular bass performance to go unimpeded. Another option is the Proceed AVP- it is odd to mention a surround processor but I just did ... |
