| Jumpers and attenuators on Magnepans....... Peter Gunn likes the dueland 1.5 ohm resistors. I wouldnt go over 1 ohm personally. I think they are $20each though :( | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 questions... If you sit 4 or 5 ft from these speakers, no wonder why you love them. Specially over the Paradigm 100's. With the 100's sitting closer then 8-9ft would result in hearing to much top drivers, and likely more box sound. I did like the gallos at 4 f... | |
| What amp would you suggest for Magnepan MG12s I would highly recommend the Emotiva XPA-2 for $825 new shipped to your door. I'd be willing to bet that spending more would gain you little. I cant believe how good it is, and sold off my Bryston 4bsst because I was 100% happy with the XPA. The X... | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Fruff,just curious if you used a sub with your 1.6's?Thanks | |
| Has anyone compared Emotiva amps to high end amps? Ive been listening to a emotiva xpa-5 for a little while now, and I am loving it. I still think my latest amp, the Bryston 9bsst, was better, but it wasnt far off. If you dont have $3k to spend on a used 9bsst, pick up a used $450-$550 XPA-5 and d... | |
| Making the best of mediocre speakers I change my statement, if large on walls are acceptable, Id also go with Magnepan. Fantastic speakers. | |
| Magnepan 1.6 fronts-what non-maggies center/sur You have to have the MMG a good ways from the front wall, or it sounds terrible. You could dampn it | |
| Integrated Amp for my Audio Physic 2 speakers Bryston BP-60, well under a grand. Brystons always a smart move. Some have well over 10 yrs warranty left! | |
| Has anyone compared Emotiva amps to high end amps? Different amps work with different speakers. If you found synergy, keep it. Pro amps arent junk. If you can deal with there rugged look, and noisey fans, then I d stick with them. The Crowns and QSC's are solid pro amps. | |
| HDMI cable made a difference in picture quality?? Agreed, I use the $7 ones from partsexpress. A hdmi cable is a HDMI cable. | |
| Making the best of mediocre speakers If it was me, and I was set on in walls at non ideal heights, Id buy the Dayton top model(8 inch woofer/dual tweeter) speakers all around for under $250 pair at partsexpress. I would hit them with a Onkyo NR906, and a SVS sub. The cylinder subs th... | |
| Use of Power Conditioners vs. Direct into the Wall My experience is Ive only seen improvements using power conditioners when the speakers were inefficient. Otherwise useless to me. | |
| Magnepan 1.6 fronts-what non-maggies center/sur Its perfect for a center, the ribbon runs nearly as far as 3 couch lengths. Its also an amazing tonal match for the 1.6's(mains) and matching rear MMG's. The 3 speakers sound like 1 wall of sound.Theres many ways to build stands. The cheapest is t... | |
| Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED? The MMG's are good, but not near the performance I'm used to. Ill continue looking for some 1.6's. If the Onkyo cant swing it, I'll try a crown amp on them. Keep in mind this is mostly for home theater and will be crossed over at 80hz all around. ... | |
| Bose 901...really Theres a reason bose, Magnepan, Martin Logan, and other reflected speakers are so loved. |
