| Maggie 3.5 vs 3.6 big differnce? Great question. Most of us seem to wish for every "new" generation of gear from any manufacture to be great sonic leaps. Usually this is just not the case. I have had many sets of Magnepans, and the improvement from generation to genetation is rea... | |
| Which came first, the chicken or the egg Dekay has some points there. Most of the HT systems I've seen have some big hard components in the center between the two main speakers, this is generally known not to be very good for the sound. But, I think, another major concern (besides the sy... | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? I think the bass information being emphasized on boomboxes and the guy next to you's car system is more tempo and beat and not the complete sence of pace (a term I prefer a bit over PRAT). A brush on a top-hat, or the finger sliding off the string... | |
| Another music great passes... I forgot to mention,..for those that can find it. Mr. Atkins did two albums with Les Paul..and the 1st "Chester and Lester" is just amazing...and the two were having such a good time! It would be good honor Mr. Paul while he is with us. | |
| Another music great passes... I had the grace of growing up in home that loved music..even though we were too poor to have as much exposure as we would have liked. My father and mother listened to everything from country(and country was great in the 50's) to big band and Jazz.... | |
| Which came first, the chicken or the egg Blob7, the last three issues of The Perfect Vision might be a good place to look for some reviews, lists and opinions. But, like any review, it is just another opinion and could be tainted with loyalty to an advertiser. The Perfect Vision has a we... | |
| Which came first, the chicken or the egg Blob7, Mr. J_thunders makes some very good suggestions. AudiogoN by its very name is not VideogoN, and there is, likely, more reviews and HT systems to be seen on Audioreview. There was another thread, a few days back, complaining about service at... | |
| Which came first, the chicken or the egg Leafs points sould not be missed. When one attends a live performance of any type..the best seat in the house is centered a few rows back.(or something of the like). I was in what used to be a high-end audio shop over the weekend..that is now a HT... | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? Thanks to all for the input. I attended a 3 day Jazz fest in Iowa City over the weekend,..hot as hell, but great music, food, friends, fun..and plenty of pace and PRAT. | |
| Which came first, the chicken or the egg The best advice may be to use the search function of these fourms. Insert key words..and see what you can use from work that's been done on prior posts. That said..it is more difficult to do HT that is still also a high-end 2 channel system. My bi... | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality The Magnum 108 is the finest source piece I have ever heard. Actually beyond the sound of any high-end CD player or player/DAC I've owned. | |
| Some Fun? "B" Groups/Performers?? Hi....sorry, in my post I ment encore..for Mr. Sebastian..rather than curtian call.....different ends.. | |
| The top ten reasons why..... Wow, I hadn't even thought about the "quad" possibilities!I have to admit, I added another "Harvey Signature Series"Wave, for a "state-of-the-art" home theater system. Thefact that these two $400.00 bargins can fit in with a $10,000.00 Sony state-... | |
| New Magnepan MG-20.1 First Thoughts?? The last word I've heard, is that dealers should be gettingor have gotten them this month. The dealer I spoke withlast (Minn.,Mn.) was to have them on display in two, or so,weeks. | |
| Best Sony XBR TV ever? Sutts, what is the model designation on the monitor version?Sounds like it might be the "Holy Grail". |
