| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I never heard the A3 so I withold comment on it. There are many deaf or deluded audiophiles who listen to sound and not music. My recent acquaintance who has a $850,000 audio system sounded awful (disjointed frequencies, blaring highs, muddled mid... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I said I would rather own Harbeths than Magicos. They aren't for me either. I currently own Legacy Focus and Signature IIIs (2 systems). I am thinking of replacing the Focus with either Von Schweikert VR55 Active or Luminwhite Kyara. At least ... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... Jhills, I think you are correct. VAC phi and iq 200 amps were designed to control low impedance speakers including Kingsound electrostats and can drive Magnapans. Driving a 3 ohm speaker should be a breeze. The mentioned VAC amps are a great choic... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat tommylion, After one week, I haven't experienced any treble or bass anomalies, just mid-range for the first 24 hours. The treble and bass improved immediately. It proves every system is different. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I'm sorry I can't tell you what one or two E-mats will do to your system because I've only tried six at a time and 12 at Frank's home. However, 6 are superior to adding an Atmosphere XL4. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Hi, the E-Mats do not change the acoustics of the room; however, I just don't feel that the Atmosphere is improving the sound of most recordings now. The increased clarity, image precision and frequency extension by the E-Mats negates the effects... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat sbayne I am not using any signal enhancing devices that are electronic unless they are built into my power distribution boxes (part of the wiring, not additional products). I tried a few and determined that I didn’t need them or they had negative ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I would need more E-mats to try under my SR Atmosphere XL4. I might try it on top also since I dislike the Red ATM (too bright) and removed it from the room. I only use the Atmosphere for some recordings. With the E-mat and my latest IC cables,... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I advise putting one mat on the breaker box panel. It affected all audio systems in my home (two main audio systems and two video/audio systems). I’d like to know what difference others find on their TV video screens. Colors appear more saturated.... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 Much of my equipment is custom built using NOS tubes, NOS capacitors, silver solder, NOS transformers (Altec/Peerless 1568s), NOS subminiature tubes. etc. It is difficult to duplicate the quality and sound of many of my gear's components in my ma... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 I would not own Tekton Double Impacts because it is noted in reviews that it has a small listening area. I often have guests (including my wife) and I want them to enjoy the music as much as I do. It is one of the reasons I sold my electrostats ... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 Let it be known that price does not equate to performance, except at the high end. To better the Focus speakers, I’m looking at $50-60K for Von Schweikert VR55, Einstein and Luminwhite Kyara (also all high efficiency speakers). The Focus will save... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3 I own the original Legacy Focus speakers. I have heard that the Focus HD is inferior sounding despite the higher quality drivers. The SE version is very similar other than the placement of the ribbon tweeter. The Focus has 3 woofers as does the Fo... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I have not experimented with the E Mat magnetic side down, away from a component or panel breaker box. However, I can confirm that I tried stacking one pair of E Mats under equipment and in the panel breaker boxes only (I couldn’t use the E Mat un... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I feel confident in putting the mat inside the electrical panel. The outside panel is visible from my gate, set back about 35’ from the street. However, if I put the mat on top of the panel door, visible to anyone near my gate, they could just tak... |
