HeHe...ya, she is always bringing computer, and audio components home. She knows I like to tinker with worthless projects...anything that doesn't amount to a worth while project equals me (-:Dave

MinglesI have tube amps...he didn't say he wanted warmth? Dave 
midrange forwardness
It doesn't take much...a good tube preamp is all you need. Just make sure you buy one that uses tubes, that have flavors you are looking for....after all, thats what tube rolling is all about.In my system I can change the soundstage between wide/p... 
Soundlabs and magnepan mix on front stage?????
Let me know....I can probably hook you up with an Apogee listen, you'll only need one.Dave 
Soundlabs and magnepan mix on front stage?????
As an Apogee speaker owner...and one that has been there, and done that....unless your going to go for a sacd/dvd-audio setup....your options are many.I've used everything from another Apogee (on it's side)...to a cheap Aurasound speaker (around $... 
Cables that cost more than good loudspeakers
There should always be products, for people with to much money....right? After all, they couldn't have more money than brains?...or they wouldn't have all that money, would they?:-)Dave 
Soundlabs and magnepan mix on front stage?????
I set up an all Apogee surround system a few years back. SACD surround was just hitting the market.It sounded very good, although there were not enough good recordings, at that time.I still have a few Apogees (4)....I'd need to buy one more, to gi... 
Snell AIIIi - Replace or keep?
Glad it worked out. As Pryso mentioned...near wall placement is fine with the Snells.I lusted for a pair of those many years ago. Without internet, in those days...finding used pairs, was not an easy task...if at all.Dave 
Snell AIIIi - Replace or keep?
If you can buy Maggie 3.6's for a $1,000....DO IT! You can sell them at a very nice profit.Dave 
Snell AIIIi - Replace or keep?
You won't even come close at $1,000...keep the Snell. You can use the Snells very close to the wall, and still get very good sound...that would get them somewhat out of the way?Dave

Silky and soft highs: product of coloration?
Atmasphere Well...I have two Onkyo M-504 amps that drive my hometheater speakers and subs.A while back, when one of my tube amps went down, and needed to go in for repair I was forced to pull the Onkyo amps from the hometheater system to drive my ... 
Silky and soft highs: product of coloration?
Hi Atmasphere, you said:"I do not agree that an Onkyo is in the same league with anything we are talking about here"Very true....The Onkyo (or other budget priced amps) are not in the same class, as the others mentioned. That wasn't my intent to s... 
Silky and soft highs: product of coloration?
Violins can sound "silky" and smooth, or edgy and sharp, or plucked...it's all in the intent of the player.None of that sounds bad, when played back on a good system. Unintended artifacts are caused by many other things...bad recordings, poor acou...
