| Vinshine/Alibaba..What to buy and where? I’ve read mixed reviews about buying from Alibaba and nothing but high praise for Vinshine. Then again, you can get the 12th anniversary from AliExpress for close to the same price as the base Ares ll at Vinshine. Tough choice. Oh, and given your... | |
| need advise, which is the weakest link in my audio chain I had the BP6 as well and it’s a very neutral preamp but when paired with a Bryston 2B SST I found what you’re finding in that it was a little thin sounding. But when I paired the BP6 with my McCormack DNA-0.5 RevA amp it was fuller and more natu... | |
| The most tower like stand mount under $4k These JA Prisms check all your boxes and come in under your price target. They reportedly offer a lot of the performance of their pricier sibling the widely-acclaimed Pulsar at a significantly lower price point, which makes it a great value in my ... | |
| Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test Gotta admit I’m scratching my head over this one, but goodonya for trying it and trusting your ears. | |
| Cable re-termination in NJ area If you don’t find someone AZ might do it for you if you send the cables to them. Best of luck. | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? I’d rather read Absolute Sound or Stereophile magazine. They are more on my level and now I truly understand why I never bought Soundstage! Hey Soundstage! If you’re reading, you now know why you weren’t the number one Audio magazine company! @... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Wait, you work for an audio magazine and Best Buy Magnolia! You are truly a joke! @decathlon1991 As usual your assumption is again totally faulty. I wrote for the Soundstage! network for 17 years and only worked for Magnolia for a few months we... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? Since you didn’t read the post from the beginning last time, let me spell it out for you so that you can comprehend. Best Buy Magnolia stores across the country uses a Plano for all of their displays. Man you are thick headed. Let me spell ... | |
| Who turns center off when listening to music Dude that means whatever you think your rocking, it is far, far NOT the ultimate. Serviceable? Probably but LOL.🤡 Me and the Toole can rock everything from stereo, to surround sound, to Auro 3D and Atmos. Priceless. So I guess that makes you ... | |
| Who turns center off when listening to music @kota1 Uh, maybe my math is off but that’s a surround system, not a 2-channel system. I also don’t have a TV between my stereo speakers, but that’s me. Maybe you should bring this thread to the Home Theater section where it’ll likely find a more... | |
| Who turns center off when listening to music at an orchestral concert there is no crosstalk. Each instrument is producing sound from it’s actual location, each producing a single stream of sound that crosses my head once. If the instrument is straight in front of me, the stream of sound fro... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? You may not like the brand or the sound but to say it sounds like crap for an hour or 2 of listening is pretty funny. @decathlon1991 I care not where you’re from or where you are now. Your statement that Magnolia stores are all identical is pat... | |
| Who turns center off when listening to music I totally understand why they don’t use a center channel. I’ve been to audio shows and listened to plenty of high-end 2 channel systems. I know what they can do. A center channel used the way I use it does something they can’t do. @asctim Uh, s... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? When it comes to Plano design with Best Buy, at every store, the setup is the same. They don’t deviate from one store to another. @decathlon1991 While that may be true with your basic Best Buy that’s just simply not true when it comes to Magnol... | |
| Who turns center off when listening to music @acman3 Guilty as charged. 🙄 High-end speaker companies like Magico and Wilson make center speakers but never use them at audio shows despite most listeners not being able to sit in the sweet spot. Wonder why? Hmmm. What’s wrong with them??? The... |
