| Looking for an integrated Amp... Gryphon Diablo a bit over your price range but might be worth the stretch. And @audiotroy is correct. If your AVR has preamp outs, just hook the front L/R outputs from the Marantz to the HT bypass or any other line-level input, balance the volum... | |
| Best mid-range for $3K Here are ATC SCM40s for a little over your budget...https://www.ebay.com/itm/153441667739?ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F7... | |
| 3 channel amp for H/T Uh, I recommended the amp 3 for sale here. Did you find an amp 5? I’m sure that will be an improvement, but seriously, you need to consider upgrading your center speaker. If not the Paradigm I mentioned earlier, I think even this would bring a mea... | |
| 3 channel amp for H/T This was a decent amp in its day and will certainly give you significantly more, and more robust, power. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9dg4c-proceed-amp-3-channel-power-amplifier-amp3-17633-multi-ch...Personally, I'd also consider upgrading... | |
| Need Help Well, here are a couple "you can't go wrong" options, or, put another way, I'm confident you'll be impressed with the sound. Whether it will be optimal for your specific tastes is another question entirely and one that will take MUCH more time an... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker I know lots of people who would take a thousand dollar tweeter and make it sound like crap. :)Hey, I could pull that off!!! I have to say that wildfoxinn tripped my BS meter pretty hard. Not sure he'll be back. | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA Just for something different, you might want to give the Nola KO a listen. They're dipole and also employ a short line array of tweeters and mids, which may sound a little more familiar to you as a Maggie owner. Also, if your budget stretches up... | |
| Full range vs monitors with sub I don't think putting speakers on top of subs is a good idea as it would introduce vibrations into the speakers that can't be good for accurate sound reproduction. Also, the speakers would be too low without some kind of stand underneath. Here's... | |
| Organic, musical and natural sounding speakers up to $12K +1 ProAc, and I'll add Nola KO. | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers @prof -- totally agree with your assessment. But there are two sides to this coin. If you've taken an economics course you're aware of the term "luxury goods." These items, like jewelry or paintings, derive their value because they're desired,... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers As for the OP's comment about wires being "tires on the car", I could not disagree more. The speakers are ultimately where the rubber meets the road and the minuscule changes brought about by cables are often negated by them.@jnorris2005 -- Actua... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing The male connector was tight, and the female slid in as if oiled. Dude, that's just wrong! Heh heh. Be interesting to hear your thoughts after more break in and comparison to another PC. BTW, what PCs were you using before?Heres another thought... | |
| Need Help @viridian -- Stop it! The speaker world does not start and end with Klipsch. There's ATC, PMC, and many others that are well worth searching out. | |
| Need Help Ah. Got it. Sorry man, that’s not easy. However, the more info you give us here, the better info you'll get back. But, the good news is you have a whole community here willing to help. And I the end, you WILL succeed. But, and this is crucial, wh... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker @wwoodrum -- No. He probably thinks they sound better than Pulsars. And that's ok, as long as he stops posting. |
