| Have you heard of EMOTIVA? Well, now I have heard the Emotiva XPA-1's in my room with my 3.6's; I've spent a good part of this weekend listening and comparing them to an old NAD 2200PE that I've had since 1987 and also to a NAD C275BEE that I just picked-up off of Audigon. ... | |
| Have you heard of EMOTIVA? Gosh, I'm soooooo needy.... Bought these amps as show demos without trying them out at home in my rig first; will have them by Thursday and then I will let you know 'what I think.' | |
| Output Impedance of Hovland HP-100? 2500 ohms; is that a low output impedance relatively speaking? Does that mean that the Hovland would be challenged to drive a SS amp with an input impedance of say 10k ohms? | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's Thanks for all the very interesting feedback, comments, and recommendations. My final analysis of the Mac 402 is that it is not the amp I want for my rig and my new 3'6's... I'll have to look elsewhere. Still leaning towards one of the Pass or pos... | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's They are dealer demos, well broken-in... So, you don't think that a Pass X150.5 will do the job?Yes, I will look at the Brystons too... | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's thanks for the recommendations. I noticed that all three of the X150.5's listed have been sold! | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's I wondered if the 150.5 would be enough for the 3.6's in my room which is 17w x 26l x 9h. Or, maybe the 250.5? | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's Okay, it's still early, but my initial reactions to the Mac 402 are not knocking my socks off.. Sounds a little slow, too laid back and too polite, lacking some speed and rhythm, and the bass is absent... Haven't given up yet; will let them play a... | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's Lak,did you do some detailed comparisons between the SX 1000's and other big $$$ muscle amps? I happen to live very close one of their distributors so most likely I could get a loaner. | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's By chance I have managed to lay my hands on a loaner McIntosh 402...will try that on the new 3.6's just to get a good bearing on what a modern muscle amp (400 Watts and lots of current) can provide. Has anyone tried this Mc on their own 3.6's? Wha... | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's Thanks! Will do. Listening at this moment; Alison Krauss and Union Station Live, a great album. Highly recommended! | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's Forgot! What about just a X150.5, would that be enough POWER? | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? Lights off completely or at least very low...want to see that glow of those 8 EL34's... | |
| Which One Amp for the Magnepan 3.6's? Well, picked-up a pair of used 3.6's; so far so good! Different sound than my KHorns for sure, but good. Now to find the ideal SS muscle amp... For now, the old NAD 2200pe will have to do... | |
| MapleShade Samson V.2 and V.3 Equipment Racks Thanks for the feedback. I've been looking at the Adona racks also; very nice, but a good bit more money than the MapleShade ... |
