The best speaker you ever heard?
There are some who would insist that only Magico can be the best and that we are all delusional. 
q3 magico
Usermanual, I'm glad you have found a speaker you like, but sad that you think your standards apply to all. I cannot see why you and Clavil think you can convince others that they cannot hear. Why would it matter to you? Do you have some other pur... 
q3 magico
Holenneck, I own Tidal Contriva Diacera SEs and have never had Magico or Rockports in my room, but have had 27 other speakers in my rooms. I don't know how that really matters. All that I am saying is that I would not have bought my Tidals were I ... 
q3 magico
Ebm, I welcome your opinion, but no sale here. I do admire the Q3 cabinet, but I feel no vibrations with my Contrivas. Also I hear no magic in the Magicos that I hear with the Contrivas. Incidentally I doubt that the crossover in the Magicos can m... 
q3 magico

Seek some thorough advice. http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protectorMy house was once hit by lightening a mere 6 feet from my on stereo. The system was plugged into a Sound Application unit. While most of the electronic on one side of my... 
New amp being touted as among the best ever......
Shazam, I keep forgetting about it. I would assume that were it any good, we would see more feedback. I was really put off when all I could find at CES was a static display.I would also hope that we can hear it at the RMAF, but I have not heard of... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Charles1dad, typically, I would entirely agree. Listen to the BMC MCCI if you can, and you will understand. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Objex and Charles1dad, in a long ago posting on this thread, I basically said what you said plus the additional observation that neither was the equal of good magnetic tapes. I have since greatly improved my digital with a music server from Empiri... 
Tripoint Spartan
Agear, I had just bought the Tidal Contrivas, eating was too expensive. I really did like the Troy. What is the Orion, a lessor Spartan? 
Tripoint Spartan
There is no question that the Troy works. It is just too expensive, unfortunately or I would have one. 
Who has dumped the power conditioner?
Sorry, Adwiegert. I missed the SR Powercell after it was removed.
