| is this the greatest live band of all time? Don't you have to be "alive" to be a "live" band? | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Another vote for Magnepans. With that budget you can afford the 20.7s, but with limited space, you probably wouldn’t want the 30.7s because of the extra bass panel. Not many speakers can compete with the mids and highs of Magnepans and very few ca... | |
| Minimonitors I found a pair of used Magnepan 20.1s on Audiogon for $5500 and absolutely love them. For home theater, I added the B&W MT-60D Mini Theater system which I got for $2000 ($1000 off retail). The PV1D subwoofer adds some punch to the Magnepans fo... | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? Typically, much more enjoyable alone because I like loud rock and certain songs simply must be played at high volume to have impact. But when it comes to listening with other people, it depends on who those people are. I have a husband and wife as... | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery geoffkaitDon't forget about T.E. Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia. While on his Brough Superior SS100 motorcycle he swerved to avoid two boys on bicycles he could not see after coming over a hill, went off the road, and was thrown over the handle... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers justbgunn"This website says each speaker is 80 feet tall." You're making the same mistake they made for the Stonehenge measurements in This is Spinal Tap except the opposite way. So 80 inches is 6 ft. 8 in.But what no one else noticed except me is... | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? This Way - Jewel. I didn't actually buy the CD but my daughters bought it for me because I liked the first hit Standing Still. The rest of the CD was tripe. | |
| What to buy? I'm a fan of Magnepan and Emotiva too. I owned Magnepan MG-IIIs for 20 years and decided an upgrade was needed. I found used Magnepan 20.1s for $5500 (new $12,000) and couldn't be happier. Your amp will have no problem driving any of the Magnepan ... | |
| Do these woofers look right on these Dunlavys IVA's? dwellerI'm not sure what you're looking at but I zoomed in on quite a few of the photos in your link and at least half of them had doped woofers. Time for a trip to the eye doctor? | |
| What kind of listener are you? I'm definitely an AF listener because I will analyze a song for why I think it brings pleasure. Very rarely will I get a chill from a song, but when I do, it's from just a few songs and always at the same point in the song, so I wouldn't call myse... | |
| Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers. Avocado. Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about appliances. I'm also fond of orange shag carpeting. | |
| The Forest for the Trees Like edcyn said, there's something about certain recordings, call it clarity, that really grabs my attention and takes a song to a different level. To me, it sounds like you could hear a pin drop in the recording studio. These recordings share ins... | |
| Please recommend a receiver/integated/seaprates for JBL studio 530. I agree with blainer55 on Yamaha. There have been quite a few mergers in the home theater integrated amp market, including Denon with Marantz who were subsequently purchased by Sound United LLC and Pioneer bought by Onkyo. Sometimes (but not alway... | |
| Power Amplifiers I have two McIntosh MC30s, which were manufactured between 1954 and 1962. Came down from my father to my older brother to me. I had them refurbished and they sound great. | |
| I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go? Try Genesis Audio Limited in Gahanna, OH, a suburb of Columbus. |
