| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Spice TC-50 Magnepan MG 1.6 QR B&W DM 602 S3 I have since moved on. I currently own none of them and don't see owning them ever again. My ear, tastes and listening spaces have changed many times over the years. | |
| How long do good speakers last? Depends entirely on if and when you go looking / listening up the food chain! There are several models up from the Olympica Nova Vs and of course other speakers worthy of a listen.If you really want to see how long those speakers last I recommend ... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music Here is my vote for Magnepan or Harbeth too. I have owned serveal pairs for both over the last 30 years. You might consider owning both. For large orchestal / choral music use the Maggie's. For chamber music or jazz use the Harbeths. Magnepan... | |
| Amps and preamps for Magnepan 1.6QR You might consider a Classe CAP - 151 Integrated Amp. 150 wpc into 8 ohms and 225 wpc into 4 ohms. Used you can find one for around $1,500. The amp and pre-amp can be separated allowing you to add a more powerful power amp in the future and use ju... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation for Maggie 1.6 QR I can second the REL Storm recommendation from Kinsekd. I use a REL Storm III and have been very pleased with the results. By the way, I run the MG 1.6 QR in full range and use the REL Storm III to augment from about 35hz and below. One great thin... | |
| Maggie Fans, what will u miss if you give them up? Not one thing!That's because I never sold my MG 1.6 QRs after I bought a pair of box speakers. I couldn't bear the thought of losing the magical things my Maggies do:1) Large soundstage i.e. big sound,2) Fast and detailed transient response i.e. f... | |

| Love for music shatter by highend equipment Beauty is in the eye (or ear) of the beholder. Just like the person who owns a Ferrari but will never race it or test it's driving capabilities, some people prefer the equipment over the music. Audio equipment has an appeal outside of its ability ... | |
| Two channel home theater set up The PSB Image line of speakers is highly efficient. I too would recommend a sub, the PSB Image line has a nice sub that is not too expensive, the Image 6. Maybe the Image 2B + the Image 6 sub would be a good set up.I don't have enough DVD experien... | |
| What is the minmimum room size for Magnepan? I use a Classe CA 201 (400 watts/ch 4 Ohms) with a pair of the MG 1.6 QRs in a room 13 feet (width) by 27 feet (length). The speakers are 3 feet from the back wall and 1.5 feet from the sidewalls. My listening chair is about 8 feet from the speake... | |
| Stereo or Home Theater? Apples and OrangesIt has been said before; these are two different mediums.An audio system is about re-creating music generated in a controlled setting such as a recording studio or a concert hall. The experience is nearly 100% aural (except for t... | |

| Did I do the right thing? Have it all, just in smaller quantities. Sell 25 lps and one bottle of the wine (assuming you can find that serious buyer). If you don't try at least one of those bottles you may kick yourself for a very long time. Or keep it all and get a home eq... |
