| Replacement for current speakers suggestions It’s tough to beat the Maggie 1.7i for the money, however, to do them justice, they have to be AT LEAST 3 feet out from the front wall. 4 to 5 feet is much better, unless you have some diffusion behind them. Also, they don’t have much bass impact,... | |
| Budget High Current Power Cords Forte F3. Best $150 I’ve spent on a power cable. Budget price, but great improvement with my power amps, including my PS Audio BHK 250, S300 & Aragon 8008BB. It ain't pretty, but the sound makes up for looks. https://www.thecableco.com/cables/... | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system These are all available on Tidal. Madonna – “Vogue” from the Immaculate Collection. This version was remastered with Q-sound and extends certain sounds a foot or more outside of the speaker’s sound stage. It’s uncanny. “The Pink Panther” (ori... | |
| Audio Envy O’nestian 3:4 vs DH Labs Revelation Interconnects In my systems, both cables sound extremely close and neither of them sound thin or fatiguing. | |
| Audio Envy O’nestian 3:4 vs DH Labs Revelation Interconnects If you don’t like the O’nestians, you won’t like the DH Labs Revelations. | |
| Audio Envy O’nestian 3:4 vs DH Labs Revelation Interconnects Glad to hear you too have had success with your Audio Envy cables. I also bought an Ocean Elite 3p, 4ft power cable, but am not as impressed as with the interconnects. I just spent some time comparing it with a Forte F3 6ft cable and prefer the Fo... | |
| Is it worth replacing an old amp? I've been using an old Aragon 8008BB for the past 25 years in my secondary system with some KEF LS50s. I got the bug to upgrade, so I bought a PS Audio Stellar S300 Class D amp a few weeks ago at a great used price. Bottom line ..the S300 does so... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Dead Channel - Tech Help Please Luckily the speakers didn’t take a hit & are working fine. The right channel of the amp is still working. | |

| Which subwoofer? I have a pair of REL T7is with my Maggie 1.7is & they’re incredible. They’re very fast & integrate seamlessly with the speed of the planers. I also ha a T5i with my Vandersteen 1Cs & it works perfectly with them as well. FYI...I think ... | |
| Which subwoofer? I have a pair of rel Ti7s with my Maggie 1.7is & they integrate seamlessly. Very fast & keep up the planer's speed. Never tried them with MLs, though. They make a world of difference in my system. | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. The rme adi-2 dac is tough to beat at it’s price point. | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) I agree with the previous comments on Bryston Amos. The work well with Maggie's & you can find a used one in your price point. Yes, Magnepan used to demo their speakers with Brystons a while back. Another GREAT amp for the Maggie's is a used A... | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) Crown amps? Please. They’re made for PA systems. Lots of power & hold up to abuse on the road, but sound bad for home audio with critical speakers. Have tried Crown, Crest & QSC amps & they sound rough, course & undefined. Why do p... | |
