| Amp recommendation for Maggies 1.6Q NsgarchApogee had over 20 models, some were very hard on amps so I should have been more clear...the 1 ohm Scintilla comes to mind as an amp eater.Many of the large 3-ways were and still are bi/tri-amped so your memory is not failing yet buddy!...... | |
| Amp recommendation for Maggies 1.6Q NsgarchI drive my fullrange Apogee Duetta Signatures with tubed monos (Rogue M-120 Magnums)...the Rogues drive them with ease to all but head banger SPL's. Apogees don't require loud playback levels to sound good...I think that may be strictly a M... | |
| Marantz Esotec SM-1000 amp. Fraud ALert Ebay I bought my Audioprism Mantissa tubed preamp from these guys right here at Audiogon...no problems.I think Slipknot1 is guessing right. I wonder why if they took your offer...they did not end the auction?Dave | |
| Is it worth the trouble? People who change components on a regular basis get stuck with this mode...no way around it. "To spend an entire weekend evaluating the relative sonic merits of several plating metals?"...name some names so we can laugh at them.Dave | |
| What is the lifespan of a good SS Amp I have a Sansui AU-717 (late 70's) still going, just like the bunny.Dave | |
| do planar or electrostatic speakers inherently My Apogees sound pretty much the same anywhere in the room...they do not get louder when you walk up to them to any large degree.Dave | |
| Speaker Distortion or Room Interaction ? The levinson amps are very good...they are not powerhouse amps though...300 watts@4ohms. Classical music with a lot of dynamic mood swings and deep bass could cause them to clip long before the Eggleston speakers go into distortation.You could add... | |
| Speaker Distortion or Room Interaction ? What speakers and amp are you using?...are you sure it's the speakers distorting? How large is the room?Dave | |
| The Law of Diminishing Digital Returns The differences can be huge or small...depending on how well you know your other components and how well you've done at putting those together.If the rest of your system is 50% away from being all that it can be...another 5% may be a little hard t... | |
| Small quality HiFi subs reaching 22Hz Sunfire maybeDave | |
| Over emphasis on reviews.... Pretty much the same thing you find here and all other forums...best used as only a general guide of components you may or may not want to give a listen.To be honest, I cringe at some of the advice given here sometimes...all over the map. If you f... | |
| what is a big speaker? If we drop the "looks" part and only go with sound quality...it's not a matter of "to big", wrong speaker for the room would fit better here.Very large speakers can demand setup well out into the room, many are multidriver systems which require gr... | |
| Onkyo amp-to-receiver-to-speakers... The receiver would connect to the amp using it's preamp outputs, except...that receiver has none.It's a no-goDave | |
| How far apart are your speakers? My Apogee panels are around 10' apart center-center woofer panel, so around 8' mid/tweet ribbon. They are 5' out and 7' from side walls...I sit at 12' with 5' between me and the wall behind...no toe.Dave | |
| Polite, Discreet Subwoofer A couple of DIY's I'd love to build and try with my Apogees, Both of these designs should work well IMO.http://www.linkwitzlab.com/woofer.htmhttp://www.decware.com/WO32/wo32.htmDave |
