Magnepan owners : past / present
I started with Magneplanar - Magnepan speakers when they first arrived on the scene - Tympani 1U, a couple of other Tympani, ending with the Tympani IV-A, also owned MG-3.6r and MG-20.1 speakers.To my way of thinking, nothing at similar price poin... 
Ultimate pre/power amp for Sonus Faber Memento
Believe it or not, I have experienced extremely good results using a plain-old integrated amp with my Mementos - well, maybe not so "plain-old" but an integrated never-the-less.I'm using a McIntosh MA-7000 and I think the results are phenomenal. I... 
The best speakers to pair with McIntosh MA7000 ?
I am using Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos with my MA7000 and the results are phenomenal. I would suggest looking for a used pair of these speakers or giving consideration to the newish Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M's (The M's are better than the or... 
mcintosh vs jeff rowland
The guy, Jamiek. asked a question that started this thread. . . . "Does anyone have an opinion as to which integrated amp is better between a mcintosh ma7000 and a jeff rowland concentra or continuum? Thanks"And, yet, no one here seems to be inter... 
Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II
Vintagechile,I have two systems at my home and both had "big" speakers.(Eggleston Andra II and Avalon Eidolon) I had been looking for a pair of monitor type speakers that would offer performance at about the same quality as the Egglestons and I th... 
All in one CD/DVD/Blue Ray player. Any exist?
For a lot more money, Marantz, Lexicon, and McIntosh make "play everything" machines that each promises is "better". I look forward to reviews before I consider any of them. (I mean a lot more money!) Based on their individual track records, they ... 
Levinson 383 or Rowland Continuum 500
MAKING BREAK-IN EASIER . . . .A note about "break-in that makes it not quite so obnoxious: When I bought a new pair of Avalon Eidolon speakers, I was told that they needed an extended break-of "loud and dynamic source material" - My family and nei... 
mcintosh vs jeff rowland
I read the AudioEnz review some time ago and, just as the reviewer found the Continuum amp to be "inconclusive", I found his review to be very much the same - inconclusive. I do find it interesting that in another review,the same reviewer unhesita... 
Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II
Jgless,I no longer own the Rowland - and I sold the Eggleston Andra II speakers as well. I'm now using the McIntosh MA7000 on a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos. I really like this combination and I'm (now) quite pleased with the Mac amp. But... 
Levinson 383 or Rowland Continuum 500
Noelpastor,I found the bass response from the Continuum to be well balanced with good resolution. On the Eggleston Andra IIs I had to concentrate a great deal on speaker placement and room treatment to keep the bass under control - it became overp... 
Levinson 383 or Rowland Continuum 500
I have owned both the Rowland Concerto and Continuum 500 integrated amps. Both were stellar performers. The Continuum 500 was very refined, very transparent, portrayed an excellent soundstage with extraordinary imaging. I actually drove a pair of ... 
Sonus Faber Electa Amator mk I vs Auditor M
I own a pair of Guarneri Mementos and also have Spectral electronics (although I usually use those in another system with Avalon Eidolons) I have switched the Mementos into the Spectral system, however, and they sounded phenomenal - to the point w... 
SF Cremona Auditor M as good as Guarneri Memento?
I have a pair of Mementos and love them . . . . but I recently listened at length to a pair of Auditor M's at a dealer in Chicago (Pro Musica) and was mightily impressed. This dealer was driving the speakers with Naim electronics and the imaging a... 
mcintosh vs jeff rowland
Brianmgracom,I've been playing the MA7000 almost non-stop since I bought it and it is gradually improving. The holographic, transparent - - - YES - - - Three-Dimensional soundstaging has become much more well defined. I don't know if I am forgetti...
