| Turntable recommendation I like the recommendation of the Basis 2100. I will check it out along with the Classic. Has anyone here had experience with the Pro-ject RM10.1? A dealer in my area has one... | |
| Turntable recommendation Keep I'm mind I am trying to figure out what to audition besides the classic. At least two reviews I read we're very favorable but noted that the midrange was not as rich as other more expensive tables | |
| Pass xa600.5, Marantz 9S2 or Mcintosh MC501/MC601? I have not heard the Tylers, but I did compare the 501s with the Marantz MA9S with Thiel 3.7s and ended up choosing the Marantz amps. The 501s were very nice but seemed to not be as extended in the high frequencies as the Marantz. The 501s sounded... | |
| Better speaker value here? I do not know if magico makes a center channel. The magicos, to a degree or two more than the Revels, sound very uncolored to my ears. The Revels sounded very good to me, with excellent bass, but more colored; the Sasha II sounded very colored to ... | |
| Better speaker value here? Value is a word rarely heard in these forums. I have heard both, as well as the Studio 2. I think the Salon 2 is better than the 1 in almost all respects, particularly the mids and highs. The clarity of the 2 is really better. The Studio 2 has sli... | |
| Need preamp recommendation Hey man how the bass playing? I would go for a Modwright 9.0 preamp and get a new amp later. scott | |
| Magico V3 Peter I wanted to mention how much I have enjoyed your posts. I think what you say is always well considered. | |
| Magico V3 I was listening to Mahler's 8th and Prokofiev Lt. Kije last night and enjoying the sheer scale the V3s provide. I have Marantz Ma9s1 amps and a Modwright 36.5 preamp. I am very satisfied with my system now. | |
| Magico V3 Well, I did finally buy a pair of V3's after a brief flirtation with a used pair of Q3s. Although I liked the V2's as well, the price on them was not as good. I am very happy with my purchase as I found a virtually perfect pair in my area for less... | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k There have been two pairs of slightly used Magico Q3s on the 'Gon recently. I think they not only check all of your boxes, but to me I think they are better than all of their competitors at that price. Read the Ulta Audio review...it describes wha... | |
| Magico V3 Given the fact that there are five (!) pairs of V3s on Agon right now and the prices are falling, I think I will wait just a bit to see what happens. Weinhardt Design just dropped their price from 14k to 12.5k. | |
| Magico V3 Thanks for the responses. I have Marantz Reference monobloc amps which put out 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms, double that into 4 ohms. So I think I am set for for power... Lloyd, I found that the Mini2 had a reasonable low end for a small spea... | |
| Pre-amp with balanced suggestions? I should add that I replaced a Calypso with the 36.5 and preferred the 36.5 over a BAT VK51se. The Modwright has much better bass than the Calypso and better 3-D imaging. The call is closer with the BAT, but I thought the Modwright's transparency ... | |
| Pre-amp with balanced suggestions? I think the Modwright 36.5 used is at less than $3000 used and a tremendous buy. In my system it outperformed ARC, CJ and other brands. Look up the review in Positive Feedback because the reviewer, Bob Levi, I think is spot-on in his comments. | |
| Do Thiel Audio CS3.7 Rock? Thiel 3.7's, which I own, are speakers for those who prize transparency over other qualities. They are most definitely not bright and I think that using them with less than 200-250 wc high current amps will not allow them to sound their best. If y... |
