| Threshold, Levinson, Bryston, Krell, ?others? used amps I've owned a Nak PA-7aii for a few weeks and the ML 23.5 twice now for 15 years. It wasn't even close. The 23.5 is the best amp for Maggies and this was the word from Steve Whiney. I have Tympani 1-d's and JBL Hartsfields. Funny thing, I ran t... | |
| What are the sexiest components ever made? It's the REL Precedent FM mono tuner of course! And no, you can't have mine :) | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Rum. My top 2 are Zacapa XO and Opthimus 25. The first is perfectly balanced and the second is deliciously sweet.I've also recently begun to collect blu-ray discs. Still more stunning to me than anything streamed. | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? If you like Maggies like I do, solid state amps are mandatory and adding a tube pre produces a warmer, more holographic soundstage. Right now I'm enjoying a Marantz 7c with a Mark Levinson 23.5 amp into Magnepan Tympani 1-D's. It's H-U-G-E! | |
| Very small room systems and synergy Best bedroom system I ever had-LS3/5a's or JR 149'sFisher 400 or 500C (both have great fm)Dragon Cassette | |

| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Levinson 23.5I use the amp to power Tympani 1-D's.Previously, I listened to a JBL Hartsfield / Marantz 8b combo daily for years. When I purchased the 23.5, I swapped it for the 8b and was shocked to hear that it was just as warm and musical, but ... | |
| Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100? I've owned the T-100, the Sansui 717, Magnum Dynacrap 101, Macintosh MR71, and several others. I stopped years ago with the finest fm stereo tuner ever made- the Marantz 10b. Then the finest mono fm tuner- the REL Precedent and finally, the best... | |

| Best speaker/system piano concerts I own and would recommend Magnepan Tympani 1-D's or Jbl Hartsfields. They deliver the necessary fidelity and scale. I drop jaws over here with the Maggies/Levinson 23.5/Marantz 7c/ Nakamichi 1000 ZXL/ playing Diana Krall - Love Scenes on cassette... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers Yes. JBL Hartsfields and 4345's. Both clones. The Hartsfieds were lovely and the 4345's, brutal. The 375/2440 driver in the Hartfields is a fine transducer indeed... | |
| Diana Krall Love Scenes on cassette through my Nak 1000ZXL is one of the very best sounding recordings I have. It sounds like master tape~ |
