| MG12 QR Maggies with Mye stands, or 1.7i's with stock stands? Bought the 1.7s a couple years back and love them. I didn’t get custom stands but rising them off the floor a bit and changing tilt angle goes a long way. I, too, like to mod and I changed the high register cap to cut the glare. Changed out the lo... | |
| Magnepan 3.7i with two (2) DWMs with Pass Labs XA100.5 Yeah, the way you have them wired you are definitely putting a strain on those monos. I have the 3.7s and used to run them with a Pass 250.5. Tried the DWM's and never did get used to them. Tried several subs (some pretty expensive too) and just... | |
| AMPLIFIER BLOCKS Great, now we can look forward very soon to a can of tomato sauce being $129.00!!!Now that's funny! | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... If the specs don't give an ohm rating with watt output then chances are it's going to have trouble. Yamaha rates only at 8 ohms. And remember that speakers are rated at NOMINAL or AVERAGE ohms. Those speakers may dip as low as 2 ohms at times a... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters I have always found that a very important part of good bass response is the damping factor of the amp, the ability of the amp to control the excursion of the bass driver. I've had some pretty expensive equipment over time where the mids and highs... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs I’ll chime in with my first impression when I read your speakers list. Twin def tech 800’s with ML ESL’s. IMO those subs are no where near fast enough to integrate well with electrostats. They are pretty decent for HT, and maybe even with some loo... | |
| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's The last I heard Steve McCormack is out of the production and repair fields. Repairs are being handled by Conrad - Johnson and there is no further production of McCormack products. Its a shame because Steve was one of the good guys in the indust... | |
| How much does DAC ‘Reality’ cost in 2017? Not sure what everyone’s "reality" is, but there are sure a lot of low cost DAC units out there right now that really kick ass. I have the Schitt Yggrasil and like it a ton. But recently I spent less than a grand on a killer Tubed DAC/ PREAMP from... | |
| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's I've owned Maggie's for quite some time and had the 1.7's for a while before going to the 3.7i's. The mags simply ate some amps I tried.....chewed then up and spit them out. There aren't many integrated or HT amps that are going to get the full ... | |
| Odyssey Kismet Reference series. I was able to try a magtech with my 3.7i's and it had no problem driving them, and sounded good, although a bit on the bright side. Remember that the magtech is pumping out 900 watts at 4 ohms into Maggie's. However, it's not always the wattage ... | |
| Burmester or Pass? The Burmester is a stunning amp. Nothing wrong with PassLabs but the 911 is really something special. I heard one hooked up to a pair of Sanders model 10e speakers with hi Def downloads thru a Musical Paradise mp d2 and was completely blown away... | |
| Amplifier for the magnepan 3.7i I’ve just recently switched over to Sanders Magtech with a Vincent tube pre. My 3.7i’s never sounded so good. Before I had used a B&K 200.5 which was nice and Rogue amp before that. Always felt something was missing until I went with the curre... | |
| Anticables I’ve had experience with Anticables and think they are a great buy. My first experience was with their speaker jumpers for a pair of Maggie 1.7’s. The difference from the factory steel jumpers was amazing. And let me tell you I have never been a b... | |
| What I did to my Magnepan MG12's and I'm doing with my new 1.7's dfarmer...thanks for letting me know my ears are still working ok in my old age! I really felt funny and wondered what I was missing by using that sub that was under $500 and dismissing ones that were over 3 times the cost. One thing I've learne... | |
| What I did to my Magnepan MG12's and I'm doing with my new 1.7's Hey all, first post here, but I've been stealing info for a while and used some of the advice off of here to get to where I am now with my system. and at my advanced age I am proud to say I now have the finest system that I have ever owned, and o... |
