| Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing? BTW the station I listen to is WIDR, the Western Michigan University college station and the sound quality is good on my Rotel tuner but still down a notch from my Sony 9000 DVD player.radio is hard to beat for new music and WIDR is supposed to be... | |
| Magnepan vs. Martin Logan 120 watts is minimum for Maggies if you want even close to realistic listening levels, that said, my 1.6s have a glare and I think my room (13 x 22 x 8) needs to be bigger or I need more curtains. I really like these speakers and my Plinius with 1... | |
| Good 6550/KT88 tubes you can change the sound quality by replacing the 12AX7 input tube. I used Mullard CV4004 in my 120s and the sound was warmer and fuller in the midrange though a little less extended.hope this helpsPhil | |
| Plinius class A vs. class AB sound difference? My SA100 MKIII has just the slightest amount of grain in AB mode that is gone in A mode, also in class A there seems to be better definition, or maybe it is my imagination, it is that close. It sounds superb in both modes (driving Maggie 1.6s). | |
| From tubes to solid state. What do you loose... I switched from a Rogue Magnum 120 to a Plinius SA100 MKIII and I do not miss it. I listened to tubes for 20 years and this Plinius has made a believer out of me, solid state if done right, is great. | |
| Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing? The college radio station near my home kicks out a lot of 'alternative' music and I listen all the time for the constant refreshing and new songs they play. The sound quality is quite a bit better than the commercial stations and with my little Ro... | |
| how good is Dyna FM1? thanks cknabb I will checkPhil | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Hendrix had the best tone and the best combination of rock, blues and jazz all wrapped into a sound all his own - mesmerizing.Pat Metheny in concert is truly awesome, he builds his rythems into a giant cresendo and often the rest of the band is pl... | |
| IXOS versus Harmonic Technology Instead of Harmonic Technology maybe you could try Robert Lee's newer company Acoustic Zen. Their 'value' cable the WOW is very good at $250 meter and it only gets better from there. | |
| magnepan 3.6 Danielk141Thank youThat is very interesting and gives me a new perspective on the Maggie lineup.Sorry about the bad info Velo62 | |
| magnepan 3.6 QR stands for Quasi Ribbon which is the midrange driver for the 3.6 | |
| are there 2-ways that go down flat to around 40? Maggie 1.6 have been measured to about 36hz. | |
| how good is Dyna FM1? thanks Ezmeralda11Nice web page and it gives me hope.Phil | |
| Quietest amplifier you have ever owned. Manley Stingray - at full volume I had to be 8 inches away from the speaker to hear anything at all. | |
| 4ohm vs 8 ohm......why one or the other....... typically a speaker with a higher impedance is more desired than one with a low impedance, especially if you have a tube amp - which will sound like it has tighter bass if your speaker has a 12 OHM load instead of a 4 OHM load for example. A tube ... |
