| Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7 All the maggie loudspeakers are leaders in their price range, from the MMG to the 1.7 to the 3.7 to the 20.7, they are all class leaders. Maggies excel in 3D imaging but only if you get the placement right, normally at least 6 feet into the room. ... | |

| Help me find my Weak Link. You have a very good selection of products. I'm not familiar with the sound of the Spectral pre-amp but your speakers and amp should be a basis of a very nice and musical system. I would definitely take home a few nice tube pre-amps. A Cary SLP-98... | |
| Which amp for my Renaissance 90s? Emotiva and Infinity EMIMs/EMITs are not going to like each other. The Emotivas are a bit on the lean side, they say. They will have the power and detail but might be short in musicality from what I have heard. Perhaps with the right pre-amp that ... | |

| New tubes or new preamp? Dump the ARC pre and get one that is more lively. I just went through this with a ARC SP-9 MarkIII. A pre-amp change absolutely transformed my system. | |
| What is a minimum room size for 1.7 Maggies? You'll need to get the Maggies at least 4 feet into the room, six feet is even better. If you can do that you are OK. | |
| Anyone try this way to wire your loudspeakers? I'm a tad confused (as always), you are running full frequency info to both woofer and tweeter/mid bypassing the crossover? | |
| Opinions - Best Sound at T.H.E. Newport 2013 Show? Last year I thought the Sanders electrostatics sounded best but they would not play any music other than their own so my opinion is not fully formed yet. | |
| How much do you have to spend, to get a good Sub? Not enough info for an informed decision. I would need to know your requirements, the room size,your loudspeakers, and current sub before I could make any kind of recommendation. |
