| Any suggestions for a good speaker match for Naim Both Linn and Epos are a good match with Naim electronics. One of the best systems I've ever heard was the Linn Isobariks (the big ones, not the Sara's) with active Naim amps.I think Naim used Epos when voicing their earlier amps, or maybe Epos us... | |
| McIntosh 6500 int. amp... I had a home demo on a MA6500 six months ago, using a good quality CD system and Magnepan 3.6R's. Despite being an avid tube fan, I found the sound of this SS overly warm and distinctly colored. It had poor transparency and just wasn't very musica... | |
| Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler? Thanks for input so far, I think the MF sounds ok, but not great. I ran it side by side with my EAD 7000, and given that the EAD was 6/7 yrs old and didn't do the upsampling thing, I was expecting to hear more of an improvement.The EAD seamed a li... | |
| Sunfire amps Sean,For what it's worth I've always appreciated your input on AG and think that the whole concept of AG acting as a useful resource relies on the participation of people like yourself.I was at a mini audio club meeting over the weekend, and your ... | |
| Help me find it again Just my two penneth for what it's worth....I was at exactly the same place as you are at with your system (albeit, my components are very different than yours)....I was on the verge of packing it all up and selling it on AG. I've posted a few thre... | |
| need comments on my system Try a Tact RCS 2.0 Room Correction/pre amp.I've just installed one in my system and it is starting to prove itself as a very worthwhile upgrade. There is a learning curve to go through, and you will need access to a PC with a spare serial port.The... | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? Hi Nate,Thanks for organizing this, I'll be there on the 19th. Please let me know directions, times etc..Carl | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? Here's my two-penneth on 3.6R's and tubes, for what it's worth.I bought my 3.6R's in October last year and have tried a few different amps, both tube and SS.If you search old posts for Magnepan you'll see a few of mine, asking for help and advice ... | |
| ribbon or electrostatic speakers Duke summed up the issue of 'feeling the impact' with ribbon / electrostats and explained their limitations very well. However, that kind of room shaking bass that some box speakers and subwoofers can create may detract or at least distract from t... | |
| Which solid state amp loves a 4 ohm load? I tried to use Maggie 3.6's in a 60' X 28' room and partitioned it down to 45 X 28 for better results.I've been using a pair of Cary V12i Monoblocks with the 3.6's, having tried various SS amps such as McIntosh and Belles. The Mac ran out of steam... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Active bi-amping is going to be too expensive in the short term. I did finally pick up a pair of Cary V12i Monoblocks, so I have those working through the standard Magnepan crossovers. The Marchand crossover retails for around 2 grand with all the... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Sean/Rives, I had a question, the answer to which might help demonstrate each of your points of view. I was pretty astounded at the effect of simply walking backwards through the room, from the 12' point to the 20' point, centrally of course and f... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Sean, sorry I just posted my last response as you were writing yours, so didn't see/comment on your last observations. What you say makes good sense, particularly that most of the issues concern higher frequency brightness and sibilance effects. I... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Rives, thanks, I've seen your site and tried the simulator, but I can't get my room dimensions keyed in, as the max width on your simulator is 10m and my room is 15m wide.Newbee....my room is 45'X 28'. The speakers are 12' apart, 7.5' from the fro... |
