Best Subwoofer for Magnepan speakers
I just added a Legacy rf Xtreme, i was a bit skeptical since the thing has 2 15" drivers, and you read all the stuff about maggies being fast and subs not being able to keep up or whatever. Well, from what I can see, it's just a placement issue an...

How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
Carefully place plastic sheeting on the floor around your amplifier. Glue pieces of broken glass all over the amp. The plastic sheet should keep blood off the carpet. When the cat dies, remove the sheets and sell the amp. 
DAC's for the money?
Jon,I own the Pioneer 47ai and the MF A324. The Pioneer is a darn good player, not just as a transport. To be honest, the difference between using it as a player and as a transport with the A324 are subtle. Don't expect anything dramatic if you de... 
Rives PARC or Tact 2.0 AA for room correction?
I used a Tact RCS 2.0, with all available input/output board options. First, if you are looking at the factory refurbished RCS 2.0, as I did, forget it. There is a 2.0s version of the 2.0 that samples at a higher frequency than the 2.0 The 2.0s is...

Martin-Logan as alternative to Magnepan 1.6's
Delsfan, there are a couple of subtle but important points to clear up here. First, you referred to my comment about having a solid and parallel wall behind the speaker, and then commented on the wall behind your listening seat as being open into ... 
Maggie 3.6R driven by Antique Sound labHurricane??
Muata, I understand the AL's are 200w/channel. I had Cary V12' Monoblocks also at 200w/channel - not enough power to open up the 3.6's soundstage. It's also difficult to play at louder volumes since the amp will clip and blow your tweeter fuses. C...

Martin-Logan as alternative to Magnepan 1.6's
Delsfan, having heard Aeon's, SL3's, Prodigy's, and the Aerius, I would suggest sticking with the Magnepans. I've never heard an ML where the woofer integrates seamlessly with the electrostatic panels. I've only ever heard them in a dealer environ...

Dolfan, that's good news about the MYE's. Do the cones come as part of the deal?...what was the shipping charge from Canada, did they charge you any import taxes?I'll have to stop procrastinating and pick up a pair.CheersRooze 
Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker
It's a bloody nightmare. Still waiting for the last of the caps to come in from Welborne. Spent the last 2 weekends sanding down a 2" thick mahogany board and making the binding post brackets. Woodworking was never my forte. In high school WW clas... 
Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450
El..Just to add to the above comment, I think a lot of people would enjoy the process that I've been going through this past year, trying out different amps. So far I've had 9 amps in a year and counting.I kind of enjoyed it for a while but it's n... 
Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450
Eldartford, from what I've learned at audiocircle there are two companies offering different upgrades (some common changes, but overall very different sonic results) and the preferred one seems to Empirical Audio (www.empiricalaudio.com)Their mod ...
