| Maggies 3.6 vs 20.1 What are your room dimensions?...that's really the first thing to consider, do you have the space to realize the potential of the larger 20's?Regarding Nealhood's comments about having 7' behind the speaker to make them really shine. There's some ... | |

| After Quad ESL's? I also preferred the 57's over the 63's and lived with the 57's in a second system for a while. I preferred my Sonus Faber Electa's over the 57's, particularly driven by a tubed amp. So my recommendation would be to try the smaller standmount SF's... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Another vote for magwires. I can't think of anything with a better price:performance ratio that I've used in my system.Rooze | |
| McIntosh 501 or 602 for Magnepan 20.1 SimAudio W10's might work well with the 20's. They work very well with the 3.6's. Remember that the Mac's don't double into 4 ohms. I understand the power stage is looking at the fixed impedance of the Autoformers, but I tried the MC252 in my syst... | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? SimAudio W10's are the best I've heard so far....pick em up for under $6k used. Good partner with Maggies or anything needing some oomph. Not your typical sterile sounding SS that hides behind bass wallop and has little else. Good amps.Rooze | |

| Which Krell to hunt down on the used market? Concerning neutrality, it's an over-used descriptive and generally intended as a positive attribute of a component or system. Yet many people prefer the musicality of tubes, which in most cases are not considered particularly neutral. I've heard p... | |
| Which Krell to hunt down on the used market? I tried the MD300's in my system for a while and they sound very good. They are warmer sounding than the newer FPB's - a little less 'neutral'. I was also concerned about the cost of a future re-cap with a near 20 yr old amp. These things generate... | |

| Krell KPS 20i - What Standard vs a Modern Machine? Thanks Mejames and Togo.I'm looking at the Capitole MkII, more expensive than the used 20i but as you say it has the added benefit of the volume control.I agree Togo with your comment about the 20i being closer to what you hear at a live event, it... | |
| Best speakers for a Leak Stereo 20 tube amp I used a Sonus Faber Electa (old Model) with a Leak Stereo 20 and it sounded great. Any of the higher efficiency Sonus Fabers should work very well.Rooze | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. Wow, just played Seconds Out for the first time in ages...I'd forgotten just how good that is, although I got a little fidgety half way though Suppers Ready!Brings back some memories for sure!Rooze | |
| SAS Audio Labs 10A / 11A Preamps. Ehoehn, we used Purist Museaus and Colossus cables..I think the IC's were Colossus and the SC's were Museaus.The differences were really outstanding, lifted a veil on the mids and snapped everything into focus.It wasn't my system so I'll need to d... | |
