comparation between Magnepan & KEF ref. series
JaFox what was the slew rate of your previous amplifiers ?..compared to the Counterpoint NPS 400? Just curious. I had a Mcintosh SS that was spec at 300 wpc.The Monarchy 25 wpc walked the dog on it in controlling my speakers!The Monarchy had a muc...

Yes I agree Eldartford..but I won't tell my wife that!!LOLYou ever went on a long trip playing the radio in your vehicle at a volume you thought was normal. Only to have a rude awakening the next morning when you turn the ignition only to be blast... 
comparation between Magnepan & KEF ref. series
Eldartford...I agree to a certain extent. My Soliloquys 6.3s actually sounded better with amplifiers under 100 wpc but I also used them with amps better than 500 wpc. With no loss of dynamics what so ever,I could rattle the windows with a 25 wpc M... 
comparation between Magnepan & KEF ref. series
Yep ..I agree with the Magnepan Gurus. Accept on the power.I listened to the 1.6QR on a 400 wpc amplifier with digital a display of wattage output at a buddys home. The amplifier fluctuated between 79.5 wpc on the bass notes and 19 wpc during the ...

Buggtussel Speakers - heard 'em?
BigKidz..I've seen more and more talk about these little digital amps.It's amazing what they can do for their size.Here's a review on them http://stereotimes.com/Times are definitely changing! 
SA-XR25 or SA-XR45 ?
Near Sota and Panny are one and the same poster if I am not mistaken. 
SA-XR25 or SA-XR45 ?
Drubin ..I hope they are right..then I will be buying the XR70 sooner than what I thought! Hello Eldartford...I meant it would have HDMI interface ..that will allow transmission of DVD-Audio in the digital domain .If you look at the back of XR25/X... 
SA-XR25 or SA-XR45 ?
I use the XR25 with no regrets...My next buy will be the XR70 that comes out in July or August.This one will have direct digital with DVD audio compatibility.The biggest diference between the XR25 and XR45 being the XR45 has a variable volume cont... 
Speaker sound differences?
Mitchb it could be something as simple as a resistor or as you have mentioned a bad cap. You maybe able to change this out yourself fairly easy. Find the crossovers and check the values on the components.You can order your own parts right off the ... 
Get rid of the Dunlavys?
Well Unsound for me they are superior for my musical taste.I do love some dynamic speakers as well.I listen to mostly live acoustic instrument and vocal type recordings.Someone who listens to alot rock and some other types of music may find dynami... 
Get rid of the Dunlavys?
I agree with Sogood51 ! I still haven't heard a box speaker that could do these things like a Planar or E-stat. 
How are Soliloquy's in HT?
I Agree with Elevick ..I have owned the 6.3s .Those are killer for music or movies. Subs need not apply when these are your mains! 
Best speakers under $650
Well the Epos have a freq response of 60hz to 20 khz.The MMG freqs response is 50hz to 24 khz. From the specs the MMGs actually dig a little deeper. I am willing to bet the bass is also cleaner. 
Best speakers under $650
Yeah ..but is more always better? I am sure the Epos are some nice little monitors. But is it posibble for them to match the MMGs in the midrange ? You will compromise one strong point for the other but thats what subs are made for..right.
