| Best excuse for playing loud music? Jea48- The opposite is also true of extreme high end, really really good systems can play VERY loud and you have no clue that it is even loud until your talking to a friend in the room and your both yelling and still can't hear each other! It happ... | |
| Best Tweak??? Radiob- Everyone knows that headlight fluid is more important then proper muffler bearing alignment ;) | |
| Pass X600 or VTL 450 Mono's for Magnepan I enjoy tube amps but I feel power is the main thing with maggies, thus my nod would be for the pass. I would suggest looking into the Classe Omega, for similar(if not less money) I know this amp is a superb amp for magnepan speakers(assuming it i... | |
| Design Criteria For External Crossover Box I will send you a detailed email early next week, I am super busy right now and will be away for the weekend. I still have your email address we can go more in depth about the next step and some options you have, don't do anything in the mean time... | |
| Design Criteria For External Crossover Box Very few have a lot of experience with various materials to make there crossover box out of. I made mine out of maple because its easy to work with, is rumored to "sound good", looks good and offered piece of mind over using a metal or acrylic box... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Just to clarify, I am not going to stop posting here at audiogon. I said I have stopped posting with regularity, big difference, from time to time I chime in but these days I'd rather be listening then argueing who's amp will beat up mine :^) Know... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Frank- I sympathize with you, this is the reason I stopped posting with regularity- you share your experiences and you get jumped for it. Honestly(and I am SURE you are the same way now) I'd rather be selfish and just enjoy music and keep my exper... | |
| MG 3.6 and MG-1.6 Replacements Coming? You very may well be right, however, there are more 20.1's out there then you think. Most people don't part with them, and from my experience they seldom contribute to the forums. I don't know what the current 1.6 sells for but I suspect its in th... | |
| MG 3.6 and MG-1.6 Replacements Coming? Flynntom hit the nail on the head. Same would go from a 1.6 upgraded and thus more costly would interfer with 3.6 sales. I am very familiar with the 20.1 construction and the 3.6, magnepan would be DUMB to implement the push pull driver on 3.6- 20... | |
| Listening Fatigue Listening fatigue starts at the source and works its way towards your ears. A great source, good cableing, high quality amp and speakers that compliment your listening preferences and your pretty much guaranteed to have fatigueless listening. From... | |
| Meitner DCC2 Rgs92- I am curious why you wouldn't consider selling the Accuphase and get the CDSD, there would be a difference in price but the difference in performance would be HUGE. There's a level of transparency and detail you can not obtain with out usin... | |
| Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450 I have heard all of the players you mention. The Lector is good for the money, but for similar $$ audio aero prima will offer up 85+% the performance of the audio aero capitole mkII(which I used to own). While the Capitole MKII is hard to beat in ... | |
| Music you would like to turn someone on to. Hey Slappy, I am a big Oribtal, Massive Attack and Underworld fan- I am shocked there is another fan here! Scottht- While I like the Flaming lips a lot and am looking forward to there new release, its a very acquired taste. I have shared there mus... | |
| Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450 Hello Aroc- Sadly I know 200wpc(even high quality tube watts) will really not do justice to the large magnepans. Its so bad I have a friend with 20.1's who's seriously thinking of getting another classe omicron for 2400 watts per channel or someth... | |
| Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450 Hey Justin- I know its shocking but with a speaker that technically is 84dB efficiency you real need LOTS of power- the more the better(as long as its clean). When I went from 450 high current watts to 600 high current watts the soundstage gained ... |
