| Raised Towers There are speakers out there that are better than some Magnepans. Which Maggie do you have? | |
| Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's russ69 Why do you think I’d like the Parasound JC1’s? I looked at them briefly. Nice price point. What have you heard them drive? My brother had them with his 3.6 Maggies. They mix really well with Maggies. Make sure you have a world class p... | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage @ozzy62 "Magnepans are never going to have a deep soundstage." What? I'm sorry but you must never heard a proper pair. Few loudspeakers can do deep and wide as Magnepan. | |
| Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's You would really like Parasound JC1s. | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra Volti, like Klipsch but better. | |

| How can I connect to 2 bluetooth devices at once on my TV Generally you might be able to pair the speakers to each other but only pair one device at a time to the TV. | |
| Preamp Recommendations For the Parasound JC 5 Amp I would give the Don Sachs a try. My Parasound A21 and my 6NS7 based Cary SLP-98 was about as good as it gets. | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume @erik_squires Erik has got the answer. The dynamic range of classical music can be huge. Play Fanfare for the Common Man with cannons and turn the volume down until you don't hear any distortion. That will be your approximate system limit. If y... | |
| Tube then Class D You MUST have a phono pre-amp. It can be separate or built in but you need one that translates the input signal into the corrected RIAA curves. | |
| Large mid/bass, soft-dome tweeter, high(ish) sensitivity I still love my Lintons. | |
| A very eclectic KTEL offering. Remember the SNL sketch? Every record ever made, delivered by an 18 wheeler! |
