| Sending pre in for service, need volume controller For others reading the post and FWIW I have been using a Creek OBH- 12 for various remote volume control applications and have had good success with it. | |
| Speaker recommendations for small space A pair of Spendor S 3/5 sealed minimonitors (like a modern LS 3/5a)with a variety of amplification and a minimum of about 6 inches out from the wall can be quite amazing. Can be found on Audigon for ~ $600+ frequently. I had Quad 63's for a while ... | |
| Magnepan 20R vs 20.1Rs Magfan,I am not quite sure what you mean by "pole piece"? And what do you mean by rotating the panels TO pole piece to the listener? Sorry if I am dense.Thanks.bbro | |
| Klipsch La Scala Dilemma I would go for it and take the La Scalas regardless( I never owned a pair but have always wanted them, or the Belles for size purposes). If you still prefer the Lores, no problem. You would then have two great speakers and could switch out from ti... | |
| Magnepan MG 20 help and recommendations You might be able to find a 20R owner who bought the Mye stands and would be willing to part with the original stands from Magnepan that he no longer uses. Or at least lend (rent?) them to you so you can audition your great find to make sure that ... | |
| Fanfare FT-1A Reference FM Tuner/Monitor I have an FT 1A and an FT 1Aii with the usb input which I use at my NJ beach house. Everything above is true. The reception quality rivals CD. I have a full half wave roof antenna and can pickup Princeton FM here in Western Phila area. Fringe rece... | |
| Dahlquist DQ10 Woofer Repair? Slowlo,I agree with the exception of Bill L. at MillerSound in Lansdale, Pa. He is considered probably the best speaker guy in the country on all speakers and was formerly the authorized Dahlquist service expert. | |
| Any ideas in speaker choices would be great I have a pair of DQ 10 fully upgraded by MillerSound in Lansdale Pa and they are indeed amazing. I have Magnepan 20Rs as my main speakers for comparison and I obviously love the type of sound they both give. And they both benefit from mega power a... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Hotmailjbc,I believe you are thinking of the huge Infinity IRS V's consisting of two tower columns with floor to ceiling emit ribbon tweeters and two columns of floor to ceiling servo controlled 12" (I think) bass drivers. Sold new for ~ $50K. Hea... | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present I have owned MG IIIa (my first) MG 3.6Rs and now 20Rs and a whole lot of dynamic driver speakers in between. Plus Quad ELS 63's, 15 ohm Rogers LS 3/5A, highly modded and upgraded Dahlquist DQ 10s, Spendor SP 100's, Soliloquy 5.3s, Bose 901s (serio... | |
| looking for an "all in one" unit. I ditto Tobias on Shanlings' MC 30 all in one unit above. I actually responded a little earlier in this thread but erroneously called it a Jolida instead of a Shanling. I have one, a Shanling MC 30, and it is an extraordinary unit for the $1000 li... | |
| looking for an "all in one" unit. The cool looking little integrated Jolida MC 30. Has preamp/single ended tube amp/cd/am/fm, and an iPod docking station It also has a pre out if you want to use a more powerful amp plus an rca aux input to add tape, external cd or other input. I u... | |
| Best stereo recievers of the 1970's? I just picked up a Marantz 2325 with double the power of my 2270 mentioned earlier in this thread and it is amazing.It holds the bass like nothing I have heard before in this vintage. Using it to drive Spendor S3/5 minimonitors and it makes them s... | |
| CJ PV-12 mods & upgrades by Bob & Gary Backert I started with a Tube Audio Design TAD 150 Signature as a starting point because I love the remote volume control function. I have a second one so I have an absolute perfect comparison. Bob and Gary took my TAD and did their latest rhbackert pream... | |
| Anyone compare LS 3/5A Soliloquy SM 2A3, Spendor Aktchi,I ended up getting a pair of mint Rogers LS 3/5a 15 ohm speakers to try. Very pretty and of course very legendary and pricey). After a lot of lengthy A/B comparisions I prefer my Spendor S 3/5 (not the newer and more forward sounding S 3/5e... |
