| What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s? Save your money......apply it to 20.7s instead......The benefits will be far outdistanced by all the issues you created.....But if you must, I'd go with Vandersteeen | |
| best integrated amp. You can get 3.7s used for a very very good price right now.......especially if you can go pick them up...... 3.7s versus 1.7swould provide you with a great deal more everything, butmostly a real low end and fleshed out midrange......attributesth... | |
| best integrated amp. Another one I have not heard in person, but the reviews with Magnepans are off the chart is the new Schiit Rangarok integrated........It puts 100WPC into 4ohms, but according to Herb Reichert of Stereophile, it makes the Maggie .7s just come alive... | |
| best integrated amp. If you have room for 1.7s, then you probably have room for 3.7sI would make that change before changing your integrated as the difference would be night and day in terms of low/mid performanceYou can find 3.7s used in the 3K range and 1.7s will br... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? I'd say in most cases, especially ss amps and preamps that holds very true......speakers are all over the map, there's a 30K pair of Martens on GON for 12900......will they beat a pair of Mag 20's in most categories? no.......so does that mean th... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? If you have the room for them, forget the used journeyand get Magnepan 20.7s and apply the differenceto your source and amplification chain.......around 13K90% of the way to the 20.7s are the 3.7i's at around 6KYou can attempt to do better, but yo... | |
| SHIPPING FOR MAGNEPLANAR 3.7 I think Magnepan's biggest failing is not adding a couple hundred bucks to these somewhat fragile speakers and crating the pair.......They send multiple pairs to dealers stacked on a pallet, but the dealer always removes them from the pallet if he... | |
| VPI Avenger The avenger will be offered standard in two versions, signature and reference. The signature will have a prime motor, no mag drive, no ring, no sds. It will have HRX Center weight.The reference will add everything the signature lacks along with an... | |
| ARC ref 5SE question ...the Audionet would obliterate the REF5SEas it should for double the money...... | |
| Best Media Player I have extensively A/B'ed Aurender against a Bryston BDP2 and ended up going with the Bryston for 1/4th the money.......put a solid state drive in the Bryston and you are SET! | |
| help me choosing first HiFi For 2800 U.S. my focus would be to find items that you canget a modest deal on.......The Cambridge CXA60 is 799 in the U.S. and has a wonderful DACand I believe it's built much better overall than Peachtree or Marantz...Cambridge Topaz CD Player 3... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It I also remember Harold Youngblood, he passed in 2008, but we were friends for 20 years. I never heard of him deciding to abandon vinyl for digital, but he believed that the best of both required that the equipment be up to the task.I was into viny... | |
| Hegel H300 vs Naim Supernait 2 vs Modwright KWI200 I've heard a KWI200 that a friend owned and overall, I thoughtit was a little uninvolving.....my friend ended up selling it, partlybecause the overall construction he thought was belowwhere it should be (play in the knobs etc).....I've heard Hegel... | |
| Integrated with built-in accessible DAC bad move? Everything I've heard from Hegel at the shows I've attendedhas been very musical.....I think their DAC is probablyvery high spec......The thought that seperates are needed from the standpointof power supply isolation etc, would also negate the arg... | |
| CATSL1 best pre under 3K? Not sure of the iteration, but there's an SL1 on gon now that hasmet it's reserve at 1150.00I have never tube rolled my pre. Ken Stevens hand picks my tubesand I pay dearly for them. The last two sets have been dead quiet....A warning.....this is ... |
