| Is it too mismatched to pair Maggie 1.6 & NAD 370? While the NAD C370 lacks the snob appeal to satisfy many or most that post here, it is actually a fine amp. In addition, you can add a matching C270 power amp in order to biamp. This combination should do a great job of driving Maggie 1.6's. You c... | |
| How long can Magnepan speaker last? I have a pair of original SMGa's that are celebrating their 11th year of service in perfect condition. I have never seen or heard a complaint about Maggie reliability. | |
| Need inexpensive amp help and questions on Hype Have you considered the NAD C370 integrated? It is a good match for the SMGa's and is outstanding at the price it goes for. | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Seems like we've hit a raw nerve here. I've got to agree with Beowulf and point out that we would be well served not to take rock so seriously. If you are looking to drug-addled twenty-somethings to lay bare the true meaning of life, existence and... | |
| Best system for the budding audiophile? Here is a fourth for considering speakers as the starting point. Based on the description of your musical tastes and priorities for system sound character, I strongly recommend planars. Find a Magnepan dealer and demo the 1.6's, a good fit for you... | |

| Need more bass response Ax:Bomarc is on to something. I recently sold my solid state CJ line stage pre as I am reconfiguring my main system. I replaced the CJ with an old Hafler 100 pre that had been sitting in storage for years.Eureka! I had the same nagging problem wit... | |
| Trouble Auditioning Hi-fi Components? I've had exactly the same experience. I saw a post the other day from someone travelling to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area who wanted to know about high-end salons to visit. I honestly could not steer him to any shops of particular interest as most hav... | |
| Brute power cheap?? Adcom Vs. Rotel vs. NAD I have a set of smaller Maggies in a second system that I replaced amplification for about a year ago. I did mucho auditioning and will give you my impressions.1) Rotel 1080 was precluded because it doesn't like low impedance loads.2) Adcom amps s... | |

| Suggestions for econo system A third on the NAD C370. The C350 just doesn't have enough juice to make the Maggies sing. | |
| cable cooker, do they work? Cfb, your response illustrates my point perfectly. You are now claiming the power to hover, something that I fabricated in jest. But how does this differ from the litany of cable claims we see made here so frequently? And this is our body of evide... | |
| cable cooker, do they work? Sean, actually Bomarc and I are not in a boat as we possess the ability to hover above the water. Now understand that you must accept our amazing ability as fact simply as a result of our having asserted it here on the 'Gon. Moreover, it is unreas... | |
| cable cooker, do they work? Personally, I prefer the cable steamer. I too frequently encountered flabby bass as a result of using a cooker. Regarding your question as to whether they actually work, my experience is that they work best for the true believer. | |
| Looking for warmth,openess, detail I think that everyone agrees that there are major differences in the way that speakers sound. I also think that everyone will never agree that there are major differences in the way that cables sound.Now if your system is too bright, etc. (and my ... |
