| Martin Logan Versus Magnepan i almost sprang for the m-l cls-llz's, but even m-l sez that 93db is the *max* spl ewe can get outta these - ok for some of the music i listen to, but not all. m-l sez this won't improve w/the addition of subs (which i *do* use). perhaps not as mu... | |
| Pre-amp with great phonostage (tube) i yust sold my rogue 99, w/magnum upgrade, plus nos ge tubes. no regrets - the cary slp98 - stock version - beats it in *all* areas. i must say that i used neither of their fono-versions, as i run an outboard fono-stage, but all sources - fono inc... | |
| Martin Logan Versus Magnepan check out the newform research r645 or nhb645. see the comments on audioreview. i'm currently saving my $$$ for a pair... doug | |
| I'm thinking of a Bottlehead 2A3 kit. hey, Tm12 - really productive comment. tm12, re: my experiences w/*other* tube preamps compared to the rogue 99 - ewe can email me off this forum for a preliminary update. i tried to locate ewe thru the member search - seems yer not a member? hmmm... | |
| Pre-amp with great phonostage (tube) electrocompaniet ec-1a - is a solid-state preamp w/an excellent fono-stage - both mm & mc. not your typical 2-d solid-state presentation. i have one i use as a back-up. not ready to part w/i at this time! doug | |
| Talon Loudspeakers carl, i *have* to agree w/you about importance of room set-up. my system, while not cheap, is nowhere *near* some of the hi-dollar set-ups out there, but it's wery musically satisfying, because i'm blessed w/a nice big room - 25'x38'x8.5'. the roo... | |
| Budget phono stage- advice appreciated i found the phonomena a bit dry for my taste, but mebbe it was my linn kairn pro? i had an earlier kairn (w/o slimline-version of the brilliant power-supply) - its built-in fono-stage was nicer than the phonomena, even tho the slimline p/s in my l... | |
| Tuner Advice. Help a lost soul. definitely buy a used tuner. revox b261 (excellent sound, even tho digital, & it's tunable in 0.125 increments), onix 0a21 - especially w/soap power-supply, magnum ft101a, older accuphase's, sansui tu-x1 or tu-9900. don't forget your roof-moun... | |
| Entry into tubes tm12, i forgot to ad - i'm using a pentagon p-3 fono stage into the rogue... doug | |
| Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000 re: martin-logans, i like their cls, but no bass, & they don't get loud. i also like their top-line stuff (but haven't heard their latest $10k prodigy). i really don't care at *all* for their other products - cheap woofers=n-crossovers, & ... | |

| My ProAc R2.5's too big, need alternativ keep the 2.5's. alternatively, the 1.5's are also excellent, but don't do it until you give the 2.5's a shot. my brother-in-law has 2.5's in a 14'x16' room & they're awesome! he's got 1.5's in a smaller room... re: monitors, (like the proac 1s... | |
| Opinions on Newform Research Speakers yer rite, but i'm gonna make that leap of faith - the email & fone conversations i've had w/john meywr, the owner, have convinced me. i'm saving up as we speak, hope to have 'em (the nhb645's, as i have a pair of vmps larger subs), in a couple... | |
| Montana speakers? for a *do-all* speaker system that requires a large room, but not a large outlay for the speaker system itself, try a pair of vmps larger subs, a good electronic x-over (i think the marchand line-ip is a *steal* at their prices), and a pair of new... | |
| Entry into tubes Tm12, the *quantity* of the bass is ok - not as good as i've heard, but it's ok. it would be acceptable, but the *texture* is also lacking - not as tonal, more like hi-fi than the real thing. two albums come to mind where this is really noticeable... |
