| Using preamps with Bass Management and Room Correction? I have the STR Stack to a 2.2 system in a smallish dedicated room and it works awesome. ARC is a great tool but not the magic bullet, properly treating the listening space is also a good idea. | |
| Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's I agree with the above description. Jumping to the MC611 for instance would be a noticeable jump but not a "holy crap" moment. As long as you manage your expectations I think it would be a good jump, your Maggies will thank you. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? My analog system was pretty close to my digital playback. Of coarse that all depends on the record and all the variables that dictate if it'll sound good which is one of the main reasons I sold my analog system. | |
| The Forgotten Aurum Cantus - Although more known for their raw drivers, their speakers are a big bang for the buck and are very much under the radar. | |

| Looking for a good small subwoofer... I've got a pair of these and I'm very happy with them. | |
| Starting from Basically Scratch. Help me power some Wilson Watt Puppys @captainswankypants In my humble opinion and for future upgrades, I would run all your sources into the TV and run optical back to whatever integrated. Once you get rid of/upgrade your current sources that Linn would basically be useless since i... | |
| Starting from Basically Scratch. Help me power some Wilson Watt Puppys Your sources are a problem. A Firestick, Chromecast and a PS4 are HDMI and all of the above suggestions short of the Linn piece aren't compatible with HDMI. That being said, if those sources are going into a TV and you plan to use the optical out ... | |
| Auralic Aries G1 Streamer / MHDT Pagoda Balanced DAC - is a Lumin T3 an upgrade? @mm1tt77 The only way to answer your questions, with any certainty, is to actually try it and see if it's the sound you're looking for. Otherwise you're just going to get a lot of opinions in the hopes that someone has been down this path and ... | |
| Auralic Aries G1 Streamer / MHDT Pagoda Balanced DAC - is a Lumin T3 an upgrade? I tried the Lumin before I bought the Auralic, very unimpressed with the sound and the app was horrid. Since you like the Auralic sound why not go to the Aries G2.1? | |
| Improve sound @erik_squires Those aren't ESL's it's their box speaker with the AMT tweeter. https://www.martinlogan.com/en/product/motion-40i | |
| New B&W 702 S2 Owner - AVR/Amp Advice Anthem MRX 540 would be my suggestion, it's tough to beat their room correction and it has great power for your 702s https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/type=av-receiver/model=mrx-540-8k/page=overview | |
| Improve sound Being as you have an Anthem, I assume you've run ARC? If not, run it and you'll be better off. If so, go into your ARC file and make some tweaks (one at a time btw) to better the sound. | |
| Requesting recommendations for simple and easy to use music streaming devices Since you don't have any sources and you're only going to be streaming, I would suggest a Bluesound Node and plug that into a power amplifier. The BluOS app is very easy to use and has volume control built in. |
