| Speaker designs such as Magico & YG vs. older Avalons, etc.? It depends on a lot things. For instance what electrics you have and what kind of music you like. For the 'New School' speakers, I have auditioned YG Carmel, Magico S1, S5 and Wilson Sasha, Sabrina, Sophia. Among those I've auditioned, Magico S5 i... | |
| Recommendations for IC and speaker cable I second the Clear Day cables. I recently moved from Anticables Level 3 speaker cables to the Clear Day Double Shotgun. A big improvement on the overall sound quality on my system. | |
| Dac Suggestions for Rega System I've been using Rega DAC-R for a while before I switched to W4S DAC2 then Hegel HD25. The Rega DAC-R is very musical just like the other Rega products. Since the digital world evolves so fast, the DAC's have become much affordable nowadays. I'd su... | |
| Scansonic mb serie I still enjoy the sound of my MB-25's after almost a year since I purchased them. As a former owner of Maggie and Martin Logan speakers, the best I could describe the MB-2.5's sound is they sound like like a pair of Maggie's plus some quality bass... | |
| recommendations on a good used cd player for under $750 Try Rega Planet or Apollo. I sold my Rega Planet not long ago for $250 which I paid almost $1,000 when I bought it. It worked perfectly and sound very natural. | |
| Scansonic mb serie The Scansonic sound is quite additive when everything is setup right. I have about 500 hours on my 2.5's and they sound great. Upgraded my DAC and power cord recently and my system's sound continues to improve. | |
| Scansonic mb serie Davegoodrich, I bought my MB-2.5's from Alfred without listening to them first. Luckily there were Audiogon members like Xti16 who advised me during the initial setup and break-in period. I like my MB-25's a lot and they sound way above their pric... | |
| are magnepan mmg any good and intergrated amp suggestion for them I owned a pair of MMG's before and I loved them. They do need to be placed a few feet away from the back wall with a little bit of toe-in to sound properly IMO. The sweet spot is narrow due to the design of these speakers. A pair of after-market s... | |
| Scansonic mb serie Has anybody auditioned the MB-6's? If so, would you mind of sharing your experience? | |
| Audio Art S-3SE interconnects Want to correct the model. They IC's are supposed to be IC-3SE. Sorry about the confusion. Great sounding cables regardless of my typos :) | |
| Scansonic mb serie Murgeshj,Glad to know that you enjoy your 2.5's. The 2.5's could be a little bit short in the mids as you said. I found that can be compensated by cables. Several interconnects I tried sounded very detailed and dynamic but too lean when they're pa... | |
| Scansonic mb serie I don't think there's a simple answer to the cable selection question. It depends on the whole system from end to end. And some times the answer could be subjective. I try not to over spend on cables since I believe majority of the investment shou... | |
| Scansonic mb serie I know it sounds unreal to the 'non audiophiles' that cables make difference. You can find a lot of debates if you google the related subjects. Cables do make significant difference in my system. Even the USB cable. Yes, a lot of people criticize ... | |
| Scansonic mb serie Hi Murgeshj, I think the MB-2.5 is lean, clean and fast. They are also very revealing. Different source systems and cables can make quite a bit difference based on my experience. I've been experimenting interconnects recently. The sound from Syner... | |
| Scansonic mb serie I am still at the 200 hrs range with foam.Sounds fantastic even not fully broken in. I tried putting granite tiles under the speakers but didnt like the sound so gave up on that. |
