Magnepan .7 Alternatives
I'm not getting it? Unless your room expands and contracts, then the size of your room or where you sit can't explain inconsistency  I kind of doubt that.. If it is inconsistent, then either A) You're equipment is malfunctioning (and needs to be... 
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
I like the last two comments and agree with the recommendation (angles before $$$!).  It's all about "value"...what's the biggest bang for the buck; maybe starting with the weakest link (if you know what it is!).  
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
Thank you all.  Added information…I’ve got a pair of Martin Logan Renaissance’s, Mac C-53, pair of Mac MC-611’s, and 2 JL Audio F113 v2.  My audio guy talked me out of getting a Mac room correction unit, but told me to play around with speaker ang... 
Buyer Dispute
So what were/are the shipping terms?  FOB "shipping point" or "destination".  That will tell you who owned what, when.  If you own it, you probably just wait (assuming the part is on order).  If they owned it during shipment, send it back.  Two tw... 
How old are you?
Bob 540...SX-626!  20 RMS.  I could only afford the SX-525 at 13 RMS.  And I agree...good stuff!  I'm jealous that you got the all metal buttons! 
How old are you?
"But something touched me deep inside...The day the music died" I remember reading about this when I was in kindergarten or was it I was in high school when this was a big hit? 
Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes
"Dodgealum"...I love your taste.  I have four albums framed and on the wall of my audio listening room including "Hasten Down the Wind" and "Karla Bonoff"...with the latter signed by the artist!  I told her when she was signing that she was respon... 
Mac 611's
Yes, I'm looking into used, but I think the purpose for the upgrade is also the headroom...so 601's probably won't do it.  I'm just finding a hard time finding like priced competition for the 611's to compare them to; so maybe there isn't (any com... 
Mac 611's
Yes, Magnolia is great and I purchase a lot of my stuff from them, but what I was looking for was a good competitor or two, to the 611's, so I could convince myself that the 611's are the ones to consider...but I'm not interested in paying any more. 
What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room?
Look at all these different preferences or suggestions.  The answer is very simple.  Once you get into a relatively large circle of speakers for any set of circumstances (dollars, room size, etc.)...it's Taster's Choice.  We all listen and prefer ... 
BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
Why is there no discussion on recording quality?  How do you really know these "older" recording stars were really that good when the recording techniques and abilities limited how well the music sounds?  McIntosh and Martin Logan equipment can on... 
What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio?
The whole wall came alive, versus the sound coming from just the speakers or the lower end half of the wall. 
Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ?
What I have noticed with high end subwoofers (and I'm in the same age bracket) is that even when the music is not overly loud, you still greatly appreciate the "depth".  You can actually "feel" the bass, but also carry on a conversation with the p... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
I've got McIntosh separates  and Martin Logan Renaissance's and I have to give it a pretty big "no".  Just get quality wires, but no need to spend $100's apiece, as cables and cleaners are way to over rated.  The value of any improvement (if any) ... 
New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening"
Here's the problem...one to two years from now, your system becomes "the norm" and you start looking for a better/bigger this and that.  And when you get the next item into your system, you start listening to all your music again...hearing and enj...
