| Preamp under $2,000. Look for a Audio Alchemy DDP-1 (DAC/Pre) with PS 5 outboard power supply for the Rotel price. No comparison | |
| Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7? There's a EVS1200 near Asheville. Highly tweaked amp for only $1600. I own one and it is amazing. I seriously doubt you can find another amp anywhere near its price that can outperform it. See Audio Asylum Ads | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? +1 boa Eva M for the win. I fell in love with her in Hitch. I actually had a Jamaican American girlfriend who looked a lot like her My room is 20 x 40 x 12ft peak in vaulted ceiling. It takes some umph to load the room with a good spl. The PS Audi... | |

It’s not in the same league as the Mivera, which is nothing more than a module in a box. Underwood HiFi as been promoting their Gan called Voyager for over a year, but it’s still not available. MSRP is now $3500, mea... | |
| IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them? When you state the IcePower series sounded the same, which ones are you referring to? | |
| IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them? Eric_SWhen I had my maggie 3.5Rs I tried a Parasound A23 on the ribbons, then on the bass panels. I found it dark, a tad syrupy, and a room heater | |
| IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them? Thanks RicFerrite coils and a non upgradeable opamp may be poor mfg choices, but what Ric has done to the EVS 1200 has minimized their affect to a point where I would need to hear what Ric comes up with next (side by side) to determine for myself ... | |
