| Many questions tube/solid state amps First of all, nice system. I have owned the vk60 but replaced it with a vk200 when I became interested in Magnepans. I miss it dearly. I think it would drive the Beethovens with no problem, and they are great buys at the current used price. They d... | |
| How big is it? Personaly I would not sum the rooms. I would worry more about your speaker and seating position in the primary room than buying speakers that will produce a given spl in the adjoining room unless that is an important factor. I know others probably... | |
| How big is it? I would agree with Elizabeth and say your room is on the large size, so buy accordingly. | |
| Norah Jones? If you haven't yet, get a copy of Eva Cassidy's Songbird. | |
| Tube amp with Vienna Acoustics Beethovens? I also drove Legacy Focus 2020 with the bat with great results. They have 7 drivers if memory serves me. 3 12',2 6", 1" tweeter and a ribbon tweeter. They are very efficient(95 i believe) and are 8 ohm, and I have heard them rock with 15 watt Cary... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Raoul, I'm wondering if you would post your system? I would love to see it, after reading some of your responses. Sorry, I know this added nothing to the original thread, or topic at hand. | |
| Tube amp with Vienna Acoustics Beethovens? The BAT vk60 is a great amp, and can be found for less than 2k. I don't know what your power requirements are but I had one running Martin Logans with lower sensitivity than your va's and was quite happy. | |
| Advice for my first turntable/arm/cart please help Hi, I will second the advice to see Harry in Royal Oak, I bought my Clearaudio Emotion from him and he really does know his stuff. On a bizarre side note I'm interested in hearing the DK amp so if you're interested I would bring the table over and... | |
| looking for quality passive sub with 8" drivers If the HSU cylinder subs interested you check out the SVS site. They have active and passive cylinder subs in 3 sizes I believe. I have no experience with them but it's the first thing I thought of when you mentioned hsu. | |
| Anyone tried Magnepan 1.6's with rock music? I have a pair of 1.5s driven with 100 watts solid state and a tube preamp. I have the impression so far that more power would help them to shine with rock music, but with other music I am totally in love with them. I feel alot of great rock songs ... | |

| Moving from mid-fi to hi-fi -- Imaging questions Do they have to be placed according to serial number the way smaller models do to put tweeters on inside? I guess you would have already read that in setting them up but it was the first thing I thought of. | |
| Turntable Hum Could there be a problem internally with the arm wiring, it seems that a hum from a broken or bare wire might change it's sound when the arm is moved and changes position. Just a thought. | |
| Mapleshade Samson racks? I have been told (from people I believe) that maple is the best wood for a turntable base and 4" should be awesome. They are beautiful racks and I would like one myself. Please post your thoughts after you use it awhile. | |
| What is " lowball" I think I have a better understanding of how to make my offers now but here is my next question. When I make an offer I do it only when the money is set aside and I am ready to commit. I try not to have offers with different people at the same tim... |
