Rethm Maarga Impressions.
Just an update for anyone looking for long term opinion.I got a Seaton Subwoofer to pair with the Maarga and I think the way to go would be to add a dedicated sub with either Maarga or Trishna. You would need to pull the speakers out into the room...

I used a free app to measure various frequencies by using stereophile test tone.I think I owe the speakers an apology- they are quite flat from 300hz down to mid 20hz. The test tone does not go below 20. I did not hear hear the sound well below 30...

I had not realized that the thread had continued and I have not come back to Audiogon much but it is quite nice that we have so many more responses. Since the time I had posted my review, I have had to move twice (will hopefully stay here for a fe... 
Rethem Maarga/Trishna vs. Horning Perikles/Aristot
I have not heard the Horning but have the Maargas in my house.The differences I can think of are1. Bass loading- it is very refined in Maargas, I am not sure how they integrated in others2. Treble- Well integrated in a single driver so has tremend...

Sorry for the delay in reply. For some reason I was unable to login for the past couple of days.1. Maargas vs Saadhanas- I am a VERY cheap guy. I did not compare the Saadhanas (which I think are still not out yet). The square footage might be slig...

Why not start with cost no object solutions and see if there is an equivalent cheaper solution, or am I asking for too much?

Thank you for your responses.Ahendler- I have been looking at the Transcendent SE OTL- the mini beast. Seems to have adequate power. Have the grounded grid pre amp from them which is quite good except it has too much gain for most amps. Charles- w...

Thanks for your replies.Sebrof- How do the Khorns look with the tophats unscrewed and moved forward? I feel your pain though. I have never heard the tannoys but I wonder if this horn thing is getting a bit much for my ears- it is very fatiguing. E...

I have not had the opportunity to audition Cary amp yet. Perhaps in a few months.I listened to First watt F5 and it is very interesting amp.Let us consider a hypothesis- the amp that induces us to listen to more music is the best amp. Under those ...

Thanks for all the replies and since then I have been on a quest. I have several things to report.1. Conrad johnson MV60se--fabulous sound, very tubey, wall of music, cradles you to sleep and as close to nirvana as I have come. Great soundstaging ...

The Onkyo has a high noise floor and sounds brittle, harsh, like a bad solid state from 1980s. It works out well with much less sensitive speakers. The pre- amp section is also not the greatest-not super quite & I suspect the DAC is not the be...

I pushed the klipschorns to both corners (and ended up closing off a door) and they are now situated about 15 ft apart and the sound crosses my knees- kind of. It is better imaging- at least the sound is now coming from the wall inbetween the spea...

Thank you for your reply.I have found that the biggest bang for my buck in sound changes are Loudspeakers, amplifiers, quality of recording, loudspeaker positioning, speaker cables, interconnects and lastly power cords-- in that order. I am not su...
