| Mag 3.6R or 20.1 , Sanders & Montana EPS2 I'm just talking out of my @@s but if you like the sound of big panels and you have the room and power to drive them the 20.1s are a nice robust system. The ESLs are a bit more delicate (mechanically). All the choices in your subject header are go... | |
| Noob Planar Speaker Advice Needed All your choices are good. No speaker is perfect but all the ones you listed are very enjoyable. You might even try the little MMG @599 pair and a small sub like the Hsu 10 inch @350. Your room will be fine but you'll have to pull the speakers out... | |
| Triangle sound-signature category. Which brands? A small Martin Logan in the mid range, with a bit more top end (Triangle Celius-first year). Thanx, Russ | |
| Best pre-amp/amp combo for Maggie MMGs? I have AES Six Pacs with a Cary SLP-98, that works well for me with my MMGs. It sounds like you are on the right track with the gear you are looking at. I use a stereo pair of HSU 10 inch subs, way better than my Velodyne HGS 12. You are on the ri... | |
| Lp's you'd like to see remastered ELO, "Face the Music" and "Eldorado", both good but they could have been great!Thanx, Russ | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Fruff1976 says; "I also have some Proac 1SC's for nearfield listening, something the maggies were not very good at either."A lot of us listen to Maggies in the near field, I'm in the very near field and don't have a problem. They actually work ver... | |
| Best Christmas Album I second Mindy Smith, new and old songs but good enough to play all year. Thanx, Russ | |
| Best lighting for an audio room Two words...........lava lamp!Thanx, Russ | |
| Ruby el34s sound flat? I thought the Teslas (JJ) were really sweet in my mini-monos. I have tried some KT88s but I went right back to the Teslas, I don't think I'll be looking for anything else, I'm way happy with the Teslas.Thanx, Russ | |
| Optimal Placement for Magnepan 3.6? A big room is nice. Maggies work well if placed well out in the room. 12 feet from the back wall is not too much, 4 or 5 feet from the side walls. Toe in speakers and find the sweet spot. Bass is OK with the 3.6 but a good sub system will really p... | |
| The "Tiv" is on more than my stereo I got a little Sony "all in one" for my wife. I put a nice pair of Athena speakers on it for a bit better sound. The wife rocks the house with it, it's perfect for background, radio or just spinning some CDs. You don't always need the big system r... | |
| Vandersteen 5A dynamics and bass response. Nothing will equal the RS1Bs in the bass energy and depth. Is it possible to keep the sub towers and add the Vandys? Don't get rid of the Infinities until you have a satisfying replacement.Thanx, Russ | |
| Best musical sub for a Triangle Celius? I don't know if I have a good set up or not. I have a HGS-12 and a HSU 10 inch with my Celius. The Velodyne always seems a little heavy and a bit slow. I like the Hsu, it's a light weight driver and seems a better match but doesn't go as low. I th... | |
| Detailed sound? Real? Well guys, I have my own thoughts on this. I believe the recording and playback is an art form of it's own. It cannot be compared to live music in any way. I've never be fooled into thinking I'm sitting in front of a full symphony orchestra. That'... | |
| gain control issue Ahh, I get it, sorry. I thought you didn't have enough gain, was thinking 2:30 o'clock on the dial. As suggested, I'd call Unico or Kevin Deal at upscale and see if they had a solution.Thanx, Russ |
