| Rolling Stones - new Live Album -GRRR LIVE just. Released Hare bear - I have been focused on music for quite some time and just enjoying my two systems I have built ( one was described above) here at home. It seems - at least for me - some great sounding music has been coming out recently and I like to s... | |
| Definitely a good listen Curiousjim and nonoise - thanks for the education about improvements in Class D amps - and especially Technics new equipment. I have never considered Class D but this Galium Nitride innovation sounds amazing going forward. I have always been a Kre... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings What a great thread Tisimst - I have been taking notes to sample the recordings that are being recommended for their realism! Thank you all for your contributions. My goal with my system has been to recreate a small Jazz / Blues venue in my Listen... | |
| How many systems do you have? I guess I have 3 systems - one in my main family room, one in my man cave and one in the Master bedroom ( it runs a second set of speakers on the rear deck). Love the sound out of all my systems and love my wife for putting up with my hobby! | |
| Question about Class A I have to second the Krell K 300i with it’s Patent Pending I bias circuitry - I have owned my Krell integrated for over two years and drive Maggie 1.7is. It fills the room with Class A sound and never runs hot. New it does cost $7,000 but if you ... | |
| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room I have an audio room close to your dimensions - mine is 21ft by 27ft with 9 ftceilings. I am a Maggie fan for the last 30 years. Your system will shine with a set of Maggie 3.7i - to make it perfect add Duke’s Swarm sub woofer System - the subs ha... | |
| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? Thanks for the discussion on digital music - here is my solution - buy a LUMIN D2 for $2200 or a LUMIN T2 for $4800 - run an Ethernet cable to it and stream your heart out. Now I will turn up Dire Straits and get another glass of wine. Happy L... | |
| Raise the Roof - Plant and Krauss THanks for the heads up - just quednup the album via Tidal MQA. Sounding great! Happy Listening! | |
| "warm" solid state integrated amplifier I want to second the recommendation for the Krell K 300i. I have been using this amp to push my Maggie 1.7i speakers for over a year now. The power is produced via a patent pending new circuit design called Sliding Bias - this keeps the amp in Cla... | |
| Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp OP - I am biased - but give the new Krell K300i a listen - uses new patent pending ‘sliding bias’ to stay in Class A longer. Pushes my Maggie 1.7i to new levels of clarity. If it can handle Maggie’s - any other speaker is a piece of cake. New the ... | |
| Maggies with a subwoofer system - optimization? Everyone - thank you all for the input on my quest to keep tweaking my Maggies and my new Sub system from Duke.i have reviewed the multiple YT recommendations and I agree that I may make more gains in my sound looking at better speaker isolation a... | |
| Maggies with a subwoofer system - optimization? I do not have a preamp input on the back of my Krell S550i, so a high pass filter will not work with my existing setup. I am just trying to tweak my system to another level. I mainly play Jazz but occasionally I push the system with Blues (Bonamas... | |
| Integrated Amp Choices High amp- here is my two cents - I have been running a Krell K300i in my main system for over a year now - the integrated sounds amazing and pushes my Maggie 1.7i with no issues - will handle your speakers without a problem. I have used Krell inte... | |
| What is your favorite album cover? Jazz wins - Herbie Mann -PushPush | |
| Maggie LRS so ridiculously good I have been a Maggie owner since 1972 so I am biased - but I do have friends that use B and W and Wilson. Glad to hear you like the LRS speakers. As you move up their speaker line IMO you get a lot more sound for the money with the 1.7is. They are... |
