| Amp Repair Grade: F I own many McIntosh units. I live in southern California. In 38 years of McIntosh ownership, I have yet to get a satisfactory repair from one of their local certified repair facilities. I long ago just bit the bullet and send my Mc units to either... | |
| This one looks like my old love I have a pair of mint Apogee Duetta II speakers, bought new in 1987. The Analysis Audio Omega speakers look nice, but be wary that they are made in Greece. Sadly, high end companies tend to come and go. Apogee has been gone since 1996, but spare... | |
| The Beatles ..... garebear....What?? | |
| best preamps Sorry, but I don't think your question is a good one. There is no "best." If there was, all of us would own the same brand of preamp! | |
| McIntosh Tone Controls But is it worth the extra money to get an 8 way EQ? What is your EQ now? | |
| McIntosh Tone Controls I own two McIntosh preamps and have a 38 year history of owning McIntosh components. I agree with stereo5. They are analog. To confirm you might look in your owner's manual, or just simply call the factory and ask for someone in Technical Suppo... | |
| How much? I am retired. I listen from one to three hours a day. With Apogee Duetta II loudspeakers, it is easy to listen. | |
| The 70’s are back Ah, the JBL100's I almost bought a pair many years ago. | |

| Need advise on Home Theater Find a good dealer there and let them help you. Make sure your center channel is voice matched to whatever towers you buy. In an ideal world, your surround speakers will also be voice matched. Any subwoofer brands available in Dubai? | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? 1980--finally got some money and bought a McIntosh MA-6200 integrated amplifier, and a MR74 FM tuner. I later gave the amp to my mother but still have the Modaferri modiifed MR74 tuner. Not many years later I bought a pair of Apogee Duetta II lou... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Look also for a Vanderstein dealer | |
| Vintage receivers??? Consider also the Kenwood receivers from the 1970's. A friend of mine has a Kenwood receiver bought new in 1975. It has never needed service and still sounds great. | |
| Mcintosh MA5200 as a preamp Take a look at the owner's manual. Maybe that will help | |
| New high end from Serbia? Auris audio I looked up Auris Audio's website. The company began operations in 2014. They have one distributor in the U.S. One.That's it. ei1001h, you said it yourself in your post: "Their asking price is rather steep for a relatively new and unknown compan... |
