| I am indecisive about choice due to room size I am the king of small rooms, I have had many set-ups in small rooms that sounded great. In fact I had a 12X12 room not long ago. A small room has it’s limits on volume because the room gets saturated and the sound is bouncing all around. But list... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers You should try to hear the newer model Martin-Logans XStat type loudspeakers, quite an improvement and easy to drive. Time is still progressing for electrostats and a LOT of changes have been made to make them easier to live with. Sanders has a ve... | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection The info on the OHM website says " All Ohm F’s are beginning the end of their functional lives. There is a foam damping material used around the base of the driver and inside that is failing from old age. We have never successfully repaired an Ohm... | |
| Need Tubes Kevin has a big business to run, there is no way to Kevin has the same amount of time like he had 20 years ago. I still get great service from Upscale.P.S. You also get a 72 hour burn-in (for power tubes) and grading for no additional cost. | |

| Magnepan 1.7 speakers (asking for a friend) Depending on the amps and volume expectations, maybe. I run the MMGs with a Prima Luna integrated at 42 watts and it works well but the 1.7s like more power than that. May I recommend the Martin-Logan ESL? Easy to locate, can be closer to the fron... | |
| Mixing & Matching Components The idea is to match components that sound good together and have what we call "synergy". Buying the same brand is not the same thing. We mix and match components to get the best results. If for example your loudspeakers are lean sounding, we want... | |
| $7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant? OP, get a Mac tube pre-amp. You want blue meters, so get the blue meters. It will be a huge sonic upgrade for you and you'll have a nice piece of gear, maybe for the rest of your life. The Peachtree amp is adequate from what I read but if it was m... |
