| Tube Preamp - What to buy? I recently got a Don Sachs DS2. By far, It’s the best component upgrade I have made to my system. Don is semi-retired now so it’s a 10-12 week wait to get one once you're in the queue. I highly recommend it and the cost is only slightly over your ... | |
| Should I switch to a larger room? @speakermaster There is a closest door in one of the corners. I do have some bass traps delivering in a few weeks | |
| Should I switch to a larger room? @james663 In my 10x12 room, the maggies are actually 4 ft off the wall. I basically have a near field setup. I think it sounds good, but I'm gonna switch to the larger room and give it a try. I've spent a good chunk of change upgrading my syste... | |
| Should I switch to a larger room? Looks like I will be moving my system into the larger room. Hopefully, the room treatment I bought will also work in the space. | |
| Should I switch to a larger room? @bdp24 Even though it is 10x12, the maggies are currently 4 ft off the front wall and my listening position is 4 ft off the back wall. The tweeters are to the inside and my ears are 5 ft from the tweeters. I've heard some gunned MMGs and after he... | |
| Should I switch to a larger room? @tomic601 The ceiling height is 8 ft | |
| Should I switch to a larger room? @artemus_5 Magic quotient of 1.6? Do you happen to have a link where I can read up on it? | |
| Magnepan MMGs Crackle Sound I moved the speakers back into my listening room and was able to figure out the issue. It isn't the speakers. I stream to a Raspberry Pi 4 with Volumio. The renderer I was using to connect to the Pi is the issue. When connected thru BT, it pla... | |
| Magnepan MMGs Crackle Sound @yogiboy I forgot to say that I moved the MMGs into the office. Easier to move the speakers than to move the components. | |
| Magnepan MMGs Crackle Sound @russ69 Crackle might not be the best way to describe it. I have never heard the sound before so it’s hard to describe. It was a recording of Ambient music made with a bunch of synthesizers. It could be described as sounding like static you might ... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... I'm currently trialing a D-Sonic M3a-1200S, which is a Class D amp with a Pascal X-Pro module. I'm liking what I hear so far and my maggies are loving the power they are being fed. I had been using an Akitika GT-102 Z4, which will probably be re... | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) https://www.d-sonic.com/product/m3a-1200s-stereo-amplifier/1350 watts at 4 ohms | |
| Output / Input Voltage Question @donvito I'm not complaining about too much volume. Just trying to learn the reasons why. I've always had a hard time understanding all things electrical. And the Sys is backordered until May! | |
| Output / Input Voltage Question @millercarbon LOL!! I read all of these posts about voltage and impedance and I can't wrap my head around it. Add speaker sensitivity into the mix and I'm completely lost. | |
| Output / Input Voltage Question @russ69 My amp is a rebuilt and upgraded Quad 405 driving 4 ohm speakers. Can't go past 40% volume without being way too loud. I do have a small listening room though. |
