| Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard Like I said I'm not a huge Paradigm fan these days, but the best Ive ever heard Paradigms seams to be with B&K gear. | |
| Paradigm Studio 60 V5 Fingernails on Chalkboard Ive had so many Paradigms over the years. To get to the point, there all a bit harsh in the tweeters. The only ones I cant speak of is the Signature V2 and on that use the new tweetersI stopped trying the Paradigms because I bought a used pair of ... | |
| Martin Logan Source or Maggie 1.7's Ive had the Ascent i, Aeon i, but only heard the source.I havent heard the 1.7's, but the 1.6's smoke the Logans. Logans sound unreal with a few recordings, but sound aweful with many. They lack dynamics still IMO, and have the smallest sweet spot... | |
| Any Legacy Focus SE owners out there ? I had the 20/20 s........best speakers Ive ever owned. Miss them. Played well in every room I tried them in(4 rooms, large-small)KT | |
| magnepan experimenting I didn't like them turned around personally. Left my 1.6's facing forward, but used a very low resistor. Around a .27-.33 ohm. Just enough to take off the hint of harshness. For me, a 1 ohm resistor sounded dull, and lifeless. Just my ears....whic... | |
| Marantz or Emotiva as processor? Buy the Emotiva IMO. Specially if you want more speaker options down the road. Emotiva makes some killer budget priced amps. The XPA-5 is a great amp. I powered some Magnepan 1.6's with it by ease. Sounded first class. I once had a pair of gallo 3... | |

| Gallo 3.1 sounds slow and veiled...why? I had 2 pair of Gallo 3.1's that I blindly bought locally years ago. One pair was brand new, not even opened. The other pair was fully broken in. They both sounded average to me. Personally, I cant believe people pay so much for them. I know many ... | |
| Best Subwoofer you've ever heard??? SVS makes some great subs. I'd stick with what you have with price vs performance. If you are just trying to get more bass out of 1 sub, then go with the Paradigm if you can swing it.I'd wait it out and see what SVS has coming.... | |
| Cable upgrade For bryston gear, I always liked Brystons cables the best. There are cables out there that have much fancey jackets, but Ive found the Brystons have the qualities I'm looking for in a cable, and there very affordable compared to many that I felt p... | |

| Which speakers have the biggest soundstage 3d demension only?easy...planars....and specifically:Id put Magnapan at the top of the list. You will be looking for rear speakers there so good at it. | |
| Best Value in Used Bryston Amps and Monoblocks I would like to have tried the original 4b amp on the magnepan 1.6's I had. Would have been interesting.My favorite Bryston amps, were the sst and then originals, which were a different animal(punchy). | |
| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? The Emotiva XPA 5, XPA 2 do a great job on the 1.6's/1.7's. Maybe try them out before trying more expensive amps. The Magnepan/Emotiva combo makes a first rate system at a very afordable price. | |
| What are the best small not bookshelf speakers? Id look at the Paradigm S1's current versions. Look and sound superb! I wouldnt even doubt if she would let you get s2's. They are beautiful speakers! |
