| center channel speakers - Martin Logan vs Definitive Technology? Hey forgot to ask, what are your main speakers and amps? Nice prepro -- too bad about the UI. Ugh. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Bose. We can dream can't we? | |
| center channel speakers - Martin Logan vs Definitive Technology? Sorry man. At this site the order of operations is generally:1) Audio/video quality2) Value3) Humor...256) CabinetryMy response was definitely aimed at #2 (but I was also feeling your pain with your size limits), so very sorry if I offended and d... | |
| System Upgrade Recommendations Im going to disagree a bit with your Maggie dealer, although technically speaking he may have a point. I highly doubt running the preamp outs from your Marantz to a high quality stereo preamp is going to degrade the sound meaningfully if at all, e... | |
| System Upgrade Recommendations Think your approach of a dedicated stereo amp/pre or integrated is an excellent one assuming your Marantz has preamp outs. I did that for years before I got a dedicated listening room. Best of both worlds and your Maggies will greatly reward you... | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp Are you planning on upgrading speakers anytime in the near future? If so I’d do that first rather than trying to tame the sound with an amp that may be too warm sounding if you get better speakers later. That said, there’s a nice Classe CA300 for ... | |
| center channel speakers - Martin Logan vs Definitive Technology? Ditch the cabinet. | |
| Good Bass Recordings on CD for Subwoofer Testing Keb' Mo' Slow Down. Good music with punchy bass drum and low bass guitar notes. | |

| Current speaker threads are boring For me, if I've got the scratch to buy $50k+ speakers I know the candidates that interest me and don't need any help deciding, so I'm not asking here. Also, I'd guess that once speakers at this level are bought they aren't changed all that often ... | |
| Spend more money on the amp or the pre-amp? At that price point you'll probably be better off looking at an integrated amp, and you'll need one less pair of interconnects. | |
| Thiel 7.2 - Classe, Krell or Bryston? McCormack DNA500 might also be worth a look. There's also a pair of Clayton M100 monoblocs for sale here now that I bet would sound sweet with the 7.2s. Just a couple other options. Best of luck. | |
| Ref 3a mm decapo...best in price range ? The de Capos are great. At that price range for those characteristics I'd also look at Joseph Audio Prisms or, better yet, used Pulsars. Best of luck. | |
| Opinions I think your biggest concern is which interconnect to buy that will work best for your tastes and in your system. It would be helpful to know what interconnects you're using now and what you're areas you're looking to improve upon and you'll like... | |
| Manley Chinook question I remember a while back some people posted they much preferred the sound of comparable Allnic and Herron phono pres over the Chinook. I have no idea -- just passing it on FWIW. |
