I had one then switched to cj pv series loved them with my maggies with ss on the bottom .. I am not so finiky as i was then but i can say my old setup with sound panels was excellent for under 25 k it was hard to beat .. Are you loving the zens ?
greeting ,some advice from the masters please..
Hello everyone,
I am a newbie here, but i have been an avid audio guy since an early age ( i got smg's with my 1st tax return at 16 yrs old lol ). I started working at an audiophile equipment store at 17yrs old (The Discerning Ear 88' Baltimore MD.) Fast forward to ten years ago, i had a house fire and lost everything including my system at the time lp 12 maggie arm,conrad jonson pv.and amp,Luxman cd , maggie mg3a, 2 sunfires etc and 5000cds,1500 vg+ albums inclunding my vpi machine.I got really jaded from the loss of the music mostly it took a lifetime to collect ,But i have gotten the bug again in the last yr or so . I have a mf nu vista m3 intergrated, a mf 3d cd player ,vpi classic ,benz and maggie 1.6qr( i sold them for yrs and just love the company and have had alot of them). I am ,considering a different choice lately and that brings me here for advice,
The specifics..
12'.6"x16'x10' timberframe house 6" thick wood walls before inso and exteriors,exposed roof rafters,1.5" thick tongue and groove ceilings and carpeted concrete floors( dedicated audio room ,sofa and equipment only).
I listen to jazz,blues,funk,rock ( floyd,elp,tull,genesis,classic rock etc.) I am lucky enough to have dedicated HT room 24'x28' 17' vaulted ceilings. So in my audio room i can do whatever.I have been toying with buying a used set of something say for under $2500.any thoughts??? I love the proacs 2s with a sub ( i have a hsw12 with the maggies 50hz) Anyway sorry for rambling. I like low levels with a tube sound but i like to jam sometimes too ,I certainly have the power.any suggestions on a used pair monitor or foorstanding?
Thank you
Ray
