| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Rooze- Did a little testing with some of the information you gave me. On Clapton's unplugged track 13, with my BAT VK-500w/bat pak(amp 1) I didn't hear the bass line until 64dB- as where everything else was very audible before. I pushed up to 92dB... | |
| Best sub match for Magnepan 3.5's Try asking this over at MUG a lot of folks are running subs and they have lots of experience with it, you may be able to search this topic and find a lot of information quickly. I believe a lot of them are using Rel subs and love the results, but ... | |
| CD players with volume control ????? Ritteri- How foolish I must be, I just listen and get the components that sound best to me in my system, I gotta stop doing that! | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? Gullahisland- What seems to be your problem? He did clearly say The Atma-sphere is NOT a ribbon tweeter eater. I assume he meant either not eater. I have a great understanding of the English language and how to use it- appreciate your insight thou... | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? If that's the case why did you think that I said your amps had ribbon tweeters in them? Just calling them like I see them. And I do have experience with OTL and maggies just not the atma-sphere's so try and relax this hobby is suppose to be fun ;) | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? Greenman- Your missing what I said, the magnepan uses a ribbon tweeter- I sure hope your amp doesn't have a tweeter in it! I was merely pointing out that you are more likely to have a tube failure effect a ribbon(on the speaker) with an OTL then w... | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? I think(have never tried them myself on maggies) the atma-sphere's would sound great, the only problem I have is that they are OTL's. Which means nothing is between your output tubes and your speaker, and in the maggies case may be dangerous if yo... | |
| Cable Suggestions for my system? I suggest strongly you try to arrange a demo on Jena Labs cables, symphony or above may be exactly what you are looking for sonically. I have had great luck with them and countless others experiences have been a mirror image of mine. I've had a fa... | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? I like Duke's suggestion for the Wolcott's- but then again I like Dike because he's a really cool guy :) Another tube amp that would be able to handle maggies amp punishing capabalities are the VTL amps, anything bigger then a 450 should handle it... | |

| Audiogon Abbr. Dictionary ROFLMAO- Rolling On Floor Laughing My A#@ Off | |
| Where are your maggies?? Rooze, what your experiencing is not "the norm" if they are brand new then you'll have a few hundred hours before they sound right- break in is roller coaster ride with these speakers up's and down's. Even if they are broke in if you just got them... | |
| Valhalla vs. HMS vs Jena Labs vs. Shunyata Phoeni KF- Have you auditioned the Jena labs speaker cables yet? I know you love there interconnects but it seems hard to recommend other cables if you haven't listened yet. |
