| Lore vs Vandersteen ICi vs Ohm Walsh Talls SunnyJim,I have never owned the exact models you ask about, but have owned 2CE's and many other speakers. Tekton Design speakers are definitely not the flavor of the month...I had Eric Alexander build me a custom set of his OB4.5's in Bubinga wood... | |
| What AVP to buy If you're happy with all the other functionality of the Onkyo, why not add an external DAC to the loop improve on the DAC and save some money. There are plenty of good DAC's from $350-$3000 that would fill the bill, depending on what you want to s... | |
| Tekton pedragon finish I have a set of Eric's OB 4.5s I had him do in Bubinga wood for something different from all the cherry wood speakers we have. He just does a very nice job with the wood, showing every bit of grain and character. We put this pair in our master BR ... | |

| wall mounts? I bought a few from Cheetah Mounts via Amazon. All are good quality at a very good price. I use them on all my wall mount plasmas. | |
| File format, software and settings? Mike, definitely not a waste of time. I cut my 2000 CD collection over about 3 months using DB Poweramp which I bought for @$35, but also tried EAC. Both work well, but I find DB saved me time using my Window 7/Quad Core machine in the long run. I... | |
| 46" Plasma or LCD with the best picture. I have a number of different technology TV's and just so happen to have a Panasonic 46ST30 in my mancave. Very very good picture, although sound is weak, so you need so sort of alternate sound system. 3D is also good if you don't mind those sexy g... | |
| Best subwoofer under $1,500 for Magnepan 3.6R I have used an SVS Ultra as my sub for years now with my Maggie 3.6R's. I listen mostly to rock(Hendrix, Petty, Beatles) and find it fills my room with ample bass at a reasonable cost. I also own a JL F113 which I use in my Home theater, so I have... | |
| DCM TF-400 info wanted My TF-700's have the tweeters on the outside edge, woofers inside(of course if you switch sides, walla...) I don't notice a huge difference with inside tweeters, vice outside to my ears like with my Maggies. I can say more horsepower from amps mak... | |
| DCM TF-400 info wanted I don't have 400's, but I still have a set of TF-700's that I use in an extra room. I run them with a Peachtree Decco and Squeezebox Touch and they still run fine. I was the original buyer, back in 1980'ish and they still sound amazing for what th... | |
| good amp for Maggies? McCormack DNA-500, or down the money chain, DNA-225 used or a DNA-1DLX will work very well with Maggies. Listen for yourself and you will hear...... | |
| Help with used "rock" speakers under 4K I also am a Maggie 3.6R owner for years and use an SVS Ultra 13 sub with mine, but....I am with Alpha220. Cerwin Vega XlS-215's or CLS-215's for under $1K will rock out a room that size and fill it with more bass than you will believe. Keep the Ma... | |
| What stands for Mag 3.6's work well? I'll answer both above questions in one reply. Not trying to hijack Ldworet's original question. Sorry friend...Magfan-I don't have them filled, but they are anchored to very heavy carpet by the brass points which dig deep down into my carpet. The... | |
| What stands for Mag 3.6's work well? Grant's Mye stands with brass points anchor those Maggies of mine to the floor. The only ringing you'll hear out of those stands, metal or otherwise, will be your ears ringing when you play some Led Zeppelin or Rolling Stones at about 100 DBs thro... | |
| Good tube preamp for McCormack DNA 500??? I use a VTL 5.5 feeding my DNA-500 into a pair of Magnepan 3.6R's. Works well for me. |
