| Krell KAV-400xi vs Musical Fidelity A5 I have an A5 and think it is a great piece, and bonus a decent built in Phono pre. Neither Krell will offer you that. BUT it is going to depend on what speakers you are using... | |
| Amp and speakers combo- Magnepan MG 1.6/QR I would say replace the power amp. I was running a Mccormack DNA .5 Deluxe on mine (1.6') and was VERY happy. You may want to look for a DNA 1 since it is a double duty system, little more head room ..... | |
| 'Bargain' upsampling DACs vs. classic high-end I agree I have never been a fan of the whole "upsampling" thing. Audio Research had a great paper out years ago about the problems with Upsampling. I too have an older Theta unit and it still sounds wonderful! | |
| Van Halen or Van Hagar Does it matter? As long as Eddie is playing guitar that is all that matters | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? I have also been to such an event out here on the east coast but 3 YEARS ago and the Sophia 2 were new then so not sure there is a "New" Wilson sound. Having owned Wilson's they require ALOT of set up time, a 1/2" movement can make a big differenc... | |
| Non-ported sealed cabinet speakers Aerial 5B is the only thing that comes to mind.. | |
| integrated or separates...on a $1200 price point? I just picked up a Musical Fidelity A5 for $1400 . So a little over your budget but 250w/ch! I think you could find an A3.5 or A3 at 150w/ch and be pretty well off. | |
| Where to go from here? Having have own Cubs I can say I thought the same thing. Unless you have a room big enough to support a true full range speaker I would stay with the Cubs and upgrade source and cables first. If you want to goto a larger speaker the Sophia's are t... | |
| Naim with Magnepan's??? OK I am in a 12x14 and was thinking of a NAIT 5, I dont listen too loud but may start looking for a larger Amp. Thanks! | |
| What amp would you suggest for Magnepan MG12s I have 1.6's and I would not suggest tubes. Tubes amps do not have enough control over the LF and those panels need an amp with good dampening... | |
| Is there any mini-jack converter for the Mac Mini Also Tascam in the Pro-Audio world has a USB device that has SPDIF out. They can be picked up at most GC type stores. The last time I looked for one they were about $149.00. I believe the model number is US424. | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5, Classe CA-200 or AR-D400 The Levinson would be the best bet. I have also heard that the big Bryston's are the way to go with Maggies. You may want to add it to your auditions. | |
| MMG 3.6 ON 13' X 18' ROOM Hey I just got a pair of 1.6's and I am in a 10x12 room open on 2 sides and they are great. I disagree with the middle of the room idea. As you push the speakers closer to the back wall it will help reinforce the low end and you will not need a su... | |
| CD Player with Variable Outs/Volume Control Thanks ! I have decided to stick with a preamp for now thanks for the input guys ! | |
| CD Player with Variable Outs/Volume Control Hey thanks sorry I did not know this question gets asked alot. I am also looking for Balanced outs so that seems to narrow down the field also. |
