| Tube amp with Maggi 1.6? Many think that Magnepans need much current and wattage.. perhaps. I have used the MG-20, 1.6 and 3.6 with everything from 400 watt per channel solid state to 30 watt per channel tube (VAC Ren 30/30). If you listen to decent music at reasonable vo... | |
| Your Listening chair To all above, I am a small retailer..and don't have a printed brochure on all I carry. I do have lit. on individual pieces that I would be happy to supply...just e-mail your address. Also, if you plug Herman Miller..or Eames or Hans Wegner or anyt... | |
| Your Listening chair Gthirteen, I have tried the Barcelona and it is better to look at than sit in....but very attractive. The Wassily chair by Marcel Breuer is actually a better sit. For less money the old Siesta Chair by Westnofa...from Norway is very good, as are s... | |
| Your Listening chair Actually my post from above is how I make a living. I have owned a high-end modern furniture store for over 20 years.. and had been involved in electronics and high-end audio prior to that...and so...I have been very into..the right chair(s) to us... | |
| Your Listening chair I have used many chairs for listening over the past 25 years. My favorites are the J-16 Rocker by Hans J. Wegner, a 1944 design, and the classic lounge chair with ottoman by Charles Eames, and early 50's design. | |
| SACD - Another year and ... In either case,...SACD or DVD audio, any of the new, or upcomming, players must address playback of current CDs better than the first generation units have. I have talked with people that have one of the first two Sony units..and have added Bel Ca... | |

| Favorite Xmas movie ? Holiday Inn. This has been my families favorite holiday film for more than 20 years. With Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire and others...and the music of Irving Berlin. This was the original...that spawned other movies (White Christmas, Easter Parade) and... | |
| DQ-10, QUAD, Sound Lab, WAMM,Sequerra NF I have had the older Tympani 1D and would suggest the current 1.6 or 3.6 over them. Again, from DQ-10 to Quads to any of the ones mentioned above....you are in very good company. None of these are a choice between good and bad.. ...the luxury of m... | |
| DQ-10, QUAD, Sound Lab, WAMM,Sequerra NF I agree with some of the thoughts above. Have had the DQ-10 and many others...but like the soundstage on Magnepan MG-20 better than anything I have heard or owned. | |
| Ok, some of you suggested Magnepan 1.6QR Nachtmusik, I had used all of the above amps & integrateds with different source components and wires..for the most part., So this memory rating is far from a "blind A/B" test. Anyway, the ARC 100.2, Vac Avatar..and Cap-100...might fall in tha... | |
| Ok, some of you suggested Magnepan 1.6QR Nachtmusik, I will try to answer your question...I need to think a bit first....so much of each system is based on a combination of components and cables.. | |
| Ok, some of you suggested Magnepan 1.6QR I have used the 1.6 with the VAC 30/30, Classe CAP-100, Classe CA300, Sim Moon I-5, VAC integrated, Magnum MD-208 and the Audio Research 100.2.....and the speaker is just superb with them all. | |
