| Sunfire amps Sean,For what it's worth I've always appreciated your input on AG and think that the whole concept of AG acting as a useful resource relies on the participation of people like yourself.I was at a mini audio club meeting over the weekend, and your ... | |
| Help me find it again Just my two penneth for what it's worth....I was at exactly the same place as you are at with your system (albeit, my components are very different than yours)....I was on the verge of packing it all up and selling it on AG. I've posted a few thre... | |
| need comments on my system Try a Tact RCS 2.0 Room Correction/pre amp.I've just installed one in my system and it is starting to prove itself as a very worthwhile upgrade. There is a learning curve to go through, and you will need access to a PC with a spare serial port.The... | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? Hi Nate,Thanks for organizing this, I'll be there on the 19th. Please let me know directions, times etc..Carl | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? Here's my two-penneth on 3.6R's and tubes, for what it's worth.I bought my 3.6R's in October last year and have tried a few different amps, both tube and SS.If you search old posts for Magnepan you'll see a few of mine, asking for help and advice ... | |
| ribbon or electrostatic speakers Duke summed up the issue of 'feeling the impact' with ribbon / electrostats and explained their limitations very well. However, that kind of room shaking bass that some box speakers and subwoofers can create may detract or at least distract from t... | |
| Which solid state amp loves a 4 ohm load? I tried to use Maggie 3.6's in a 60' X 28' room and partitioned it down to 45 X 28 for better results.I've been using a pair of Cary V12i Monoblocks with the 3.6's, having tried various SS amps such as McIntosh and Belles. The Mac ran out of steam... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Active bi-amping is going to be too expensive in the short term. I did finally pick up a pair of Cary V12i Monoblocks, so I have those working through the standard Magnepan crossovers. The Marchand crossover retails for around 2 grand with all the... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Sean/Rives, I had a question, the answer to which might help demonstrate each of your points of view. I was pretty astounded at the effect of simply walking backwards through the room, from the 12' point to the 20' point, centrally of course and f... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Sean, sorry I just posted my last response as you were writing yours, so didn't see/comment on your last observations. What you say makes good sense, particularly that most of the issues concern higher frequency brightness and sibilance effects. I... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Rives, thanks, I've seen your site and tried the simulator, but I can't get my room dimensions keyed in, as the max width on your simulator is 10m and my room is 15m wide.Newbee....my room is 45'X 28'. The speakers are 12' apart, 7.5' from the fro... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Hey Sean, your suggestions about dealing with 'audible' issues such as hot upper mids are consistant with what I'm hearing. I should have said that I'm using the 3.6's without any tweeter attenuation, and I think that has certainly raised the high... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz C'mon Rives get off the fence...LOL | |
| DTS Concert Videos, Music If you like floyd try the Dave Gilmour Live DVD. The sonics are excellent. | |
| Help with increasing gain on pre amp or options? Thanks for comments so far, however, I just installed a high-gain mod from Audio Research (2 resistors lift the output from 12 to 18 db) and it's still not enough.It changes from disc to disc, but on most discs I can't get more than about 88db (at... |
