are magnepan mmg any good and intergrated amp suggestion for them
Second on the , "bypass the fuse" suggestion(as long as you never clip your amp/exercise restraint). I’m using MMG’s for home theatre fronts and MG12’s, for mains, in my biamped system. Both bypassed(fuses and attenuation resistor connection), alo...

As long as you intend to listen from only one position in the room, they’re great(kind of a personal-listening system). Not much output, below 50Hz. All caveats, mentioned by Mofi apply.  The MG12/QR is another good, smaller Maggie, in the price r...

The Distortion of Sound
My intention was NOT to address boombox or car stereo users, though(I'm certain) SOME AudiogoN denizens could probably satisfy their listening tastes with such.   Those live music afficionados, that check the sites, may find information useful to ... 
The Distortion of Sound
EXACTLY!   Then again: if more were familiar with the dynamics of live music, the outcry might be louder. 
Are marantz power amps any good?
They were when Saul owned the company. 
Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer
I'd be interested to hear some DOCUMENTED instances of, "high-end" fuses causing damage to equipment(even one).   If such has occurred, certainly- it would have been reported.

ARC always=more accurate/resolving  CJ=more coloration/warmth  Absolutely a matter of taste.   The public expressed their tastes/opinions and the newer CJ gear moved toward resolution/less coloration    Strickly speaking tubed here.     No experie... 
Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere
" This product name is confusing. Does Ralph and his amplifier/preamp company have anything to do with product? I sure would be frustrated.....etc" The Atmosphere line is quite obviously named after the thing surrounding our planet. A term which a...

One can earn enough degrees to be a thermometer, and still remain deaf as one(thermometer, that is).    Then again, if one can be, "Blinded by Science", I suppose being deafened by Science is also possible. 
Power factor correction implementation?
I'm not certain what, "industrial use" some might be used to, but-  when  doing the PFC, for the factories I contracted, simple capacitor banks were all that was required.   I'm certain there are variables, in design applications, but blanket stat...

@Dweller- Have you seen Princess  Leia, lately? 
Odyssey Audio: Sent amp for service 4 months ago, no amp / no contact back
Have you established that the amp WAS shipped, and that they accepted the shipment(tracking info and confirmation of delivery)?  If not, and you have no evidence that Odyssey ever received the amp- why are you questioning their integrity?  Just as...
