JM Lab Alto comments please
I heard them at Sound by Singer quite a few years back and liked them, but was not gaga over them, and thought they were way overpriced just like their entire line. You can do a lot better for less money. When I'm listening to $20k speakers, they ... 
Zu Druid Cable Question
Stick with your Belden for a start. Get real friendly with your Druids. Listen to oodles of tunes that you are real familiar with. You have 60 days to listen before your moneyback guarnatee expires. If you start with the Druids, as well as their c... 
Which power cord to upgrade first?
My experience: The source. I use Harmonix Studio Masters. Dedicated line and power conditioner, as well. All for the source. peace, warren :) 
Custom Made Electronics, To Your Specifications
Speaking of SET amps: I have an Audion Sterling Premier amp which I absolutely love, but would be interesed in any modifications (other than tubes. I presently use KR KT88s) that can be done to raise the sound to another level. This is not only my... 
What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers?
Dave, you're scaring me. Did you forget to take your meds, today? lol.. 
Listening at very low volume
Going all the way = headset? How's that?

Low level resolution not a problem with Maggies? News to me...I have to agree with Greg. 
Bryston Amp for Magnepan 3.5R
In my Maggie days I loved my Bryston 4B with my Maggies. I would keep the Bryston 3B for sure, and get another one. Bridge them. Brystons are wired perfectly for that. Just a switch in the back to mono and you're ready. You'll have the watts you'l... 
Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat?
It's a coin toss between Modern Cool and Companion. Her recordings are wonderful. I find that I can't listen to her for as long as say: Ella, Eva, Billy, Anita and the like. Her voice begins to rub me, plus she gets a tad over dramatic or overkill...

A pair of 20.1s biamped with two very high quality high watt amps with an active crossover. I get the chills thinking about it. Of course you will require some serious space to have them 4 to five feet from the wall. Is that still in your budget? ... 
What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers?
Sorry Photon, I did not read your thread carefully. The Definitions come out (new) way over your budget. The Druids with their matching sub will do you fine, brand spanking new; and as Macrojack stated: a money back guarantee that you can't beat w... 
What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers?
I owned the Magnaplanar Tympani 1Ds way back in 1979 and would probably still own them today if I had the room and power. That was a long time ago, but I never had as much fun enjoying a speaker until my Zu Definition 1.5s. Like the Maggies back t... 
Power Conditioners
John, life is good and my new rig, swings. Haven't had this much fun since my Magnaplanar Tympani 1D days. Oops, sorry if I'm beginning a thread digression...power conditioners? oodles of the same old same old in the archives.. warren 
Power Conditioners
Audio Magic! I've had them all. Sold my Eclipse to help purchase a new rig. Now, I only have one AM Digital into a dedicated line. Beautiful. If you're going to condition anything: do your front end first into a dedicated line. That may be the end... 
Zu Definition, AG Duos orCoincident Total Victory?
I have to strongly disagree with undertow. The Definitions will not deal well with low end SS. In fact they might not deal as well as you may think, with the very best that SS has to offer. The Defs are very unforgiving with SS of the highest qual...
