| Mac 402 vs 6900 By adding the MC402 you'll get a more dynamic sound than from the 6900. You're adding 200 more watts of power so it'll be able to control you're speakers a lot better....On a side not Lrsky on the 402 and 6900 they have autoformers...it doesn't ma... | |
| Marantz receivers any bad vibes for 2ch&HT combo i'm not going to get into a shouting match over build quality between lexicon and levinson cause i honestly don't care for either of them. just used them as an example...harmon kardon owns both companies plus revel just like D&M holdings owns ... | |
| Marantz receivers any bad vibes for 2ch&HT combo harmon kardon over lexicon processors? what planet do you live on? agreed that the amplifiers aren't in the same class as levinson but the lexicon processors are far above harmon kardon. especially w/ the logic 7 processing that was developed by l... | |
| what's the best "mini monior" these days reference 3a De Capo I is the best I've heard...of course i'm biased since i own them ;). | |
| Marantz receivers any bad vibes for 2ch&HT combo The two companies are OWENED by Denon&Marantz holdings. They also own Mcintosh now. However, they still do independent r&d and such. The Marantz pieces sound better musically. The midrange opens up and is a bit smoother. The Denons tend to... | |
| 3.6 Maggie owners input needed on amps........... any of the classe amps are a good match for the maggies. i've also heard them w/ bryston, mcintosh, bel canto, rotel, ati, gryphon, essence, levinson, unison, krell, and lexicon. classe and gryphon sound the best. | |
| Any one haerd the Gryphon products? I own the older linestage preamp...absolutely love it..although eventually i'll upgrade to the sonata allegro just so i can have a remote ;). i've also heard their amps and they are excellent. jrd had a great explanation of them. highly recommend | |

| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? essence speakers/amps | |
| Affordable separate vs. high end receiver – which Look at ATI amps....as far as highend receivers and can't believe nobody has mentioned the Marantz SR9300 or the Mcintosh MHT200 (granted the Mcintosh is $6,100). | |
| How long before Paradigm Studio series break in??? If you're looking for efficent bookshelf speakers check out Reference 3a de capos. They're some of the best bookshelves I've heard. | |
| How long before Paradigm Studio series break in??? Paradigms are 8ohm speakers not 4ohm | |
| How long before Paradigm Studio series break in??? wouldn't worry too much about the tweeters if you only did it for a few minutes...give them some hours behind them and they'll open right up and you can crank them. i own the 20s and i listen to my music farely loud so you won't have a problem. | |
| How long before Paradigm Studio series break in??? Which speakers from Paradigm do you have? Typically you need 75-100hrs before you sit down and critically listen to a speaker. I agree w/ S7horton though 200+ is even better. (also you should never play a brand new speaker very loud. you can burn ... | |
| Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made? Paid $500 for an Arcam FMJ CD23 and sold it for $1275....then turned around and bought my Gryphon Linestage for $1200...both are great purchases but the dual mono preamp was a far better benefit for my system than the Arcam. |
