My system is more th... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG Everyone - just to be clear - I am a retired Chemist, not an EE.

| Jim Winey (Magnepan) has passed away. I have owned Magnapan since 1982 - I got hooked on them when I heard them in college in the late 70s in a stereo shop in Evansville IN. All of my systems have been built around Maggie’s. Currently have my Peter Gunn modified 1.6qrs paired with ... | |

| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I have been a Magnapan speaker user since 1983. I have two systems now - one based on the Maggie 1.7i (driven by a Krell K 300i) with the Maggie DWM Bass Panel (driven by Son of Ampzilla). Once you give them good clean Class A power nothing compar... | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. In my wife’s defense - the offending lamp is part of a matched pair we bought together on a trip to Hong Kong in 1982. The lamp is pierced porcelain and hand painted with birds - that is why is was left at the wrong end of the couch for the last 1... | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. Just an update - had my audiophile friend (and his wife) over yesterday - he confirmed my analysis - moving the dam- lamp opened up the soundstage on the left channel speaker and really balanced the left and right channel output for a variety of m... | |

| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. I just posted my two systems here at home last week on Audiogon - if you look I am sure you will see which lamp was moved. I will let you all know how it works out - I am hopeful she will also hear the difference! |
