| Streamer Thanks for the feedback. I don't download on iTunes and will happily use dbPoweramp for ripping. Is JRiver still the preferred management software, or will dbPoweramp do that too? I only need the Apple format for putting music onto my iPhone and i... | |
| MMGs He had specific requirements of selling only to those with 3 or more positive feedbacks. If I pair this with a Crown Macro Reference to drive Tympani IVs, will it help with the reputed "hardness" of the Crown in highs? | |
| MMGs I sent the seller a message, will see if he will deal with me without the 3 positive feedbacks. | |
| MMGs Schubert,Thanks for the heads up. What would you suggest as an under $500 preamp to go with the Crown or Wyred4Sound? Or should I go straight to a DAC instead of a preamp? | |
| MMGs In a complete change of direction, I am going with Tympani IVs and will sell my MMGs. I am considering a few amplifier options, including the Odyssey Khartago bi-amped with my Adcom, a Crown Macrotech Reference standalone and a pair of Wyred4Soun... | |
| MMGs To elaborate on my previous post a bit, if I introduce $2500 into my budget and take my current equipment into account (1 year old MMGs worth $450(?) and an old but checked out Adcom GFA-555 worth $300(?)), then I have $3250 to spend if I liquidat... | |
| MMGs Gotta admit I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the options.Am now wondering if I should venture into streaming, since (in response to JohhnyB53), the CD player is my only source. Streaming then leads me to a NAS of some sort. Those two lead... | |
| MMGs JHills,Thank you for your recommendations, I will go listen to the 1.7s this weekend. The room feels like it wants more speaker, but that could be just positioning.Johnnyb53,If I pick up the Halo A23, what preamp would you suggest? I am currentl... | |
| MMGs Added pictures to my virtual system to show what I am dealing with in room layout and listening position.Johnnyb53, there is a Parasound Halo A23 for sale on here at $50 less than original list for a four year old unit. Does that seem reasonable? | |
| MMGs There are two alternative sets of speakers on this site now. 3.3Rs at $700 (and in Florida where I am) and 1.6Qrs for $799 in MN. I would appreciate your thoughts on using either pair in my room in place of my MMGs which I would then sell. | |
| MMGs Chattaudio,I have thought about Gunn before. While his work is unquestionably worth the price, it leaves me with the Adcom driving the new speakers for at least a year. Does that make it still worthwhile? And would you use the year old MMGs or ... | |
| MMGs Schuert,Thanks, it was the TI part I was missing. Did you use their sub as well? | |
| MMGs Which model of Gallo? Did you mean the stainless steel spheres like these? https://www.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-anthony-gallo-acoustics-a-diva-stainless-steel-satellit...Or the 3s? Like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anthony-Gallo-3-speaker-... | |
| MMGs Thank you for the responses. I am beginning to wonder if the MMGs will work in this room.If I could come up with a $2000 budget for amp and speakers, was willing to move away from the MMGs, wanted similar clarity and soundstage, and would place th... | |
| MMGs There is a Belles 150 A on here at $500 and a Bryston 4B-ST for $1000. For the MMGs, is the Bryston worth the additional cost? |
