| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? Magfan, the insinuation was about what speakers to use when displaying amps at shows. Just my take. | |
| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps I have about 25 hours on the W4S amp/preamp combo and they are definitely warmer sounding than my Krell integrated.Still hearing some syllibance on the sss's (like Donna Krell's "Look of Love") but I expect that will get better with time. Played J... | |
| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps Thanks for the clarification. I probably should have been able to figure that one out!The W4S folks suggest that I try their interconnects as they are designed for their components. Gets to the old saw - listen and decide if you can hear it. | |
| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? I have traded in my Maggie 1.2's and now run 1.7's with Wyred4Sound SX 1000 amp and STP SE preamp.Check it out before you spend the really big bucks, you just might be surprised. According to the folks at W4S they are going to be listening to a cu... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP So if I am following this correctly, the 1 ohm resistor took away more energy going to the speaker which reduced the sound compared to the .327 ohm resistor which took away less energy and kept more to produce the sound at the speaker.Do I have th... | |

| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Macdadtexas,Saw this old post.I agree that the Yes album is wonderful... also agree that Eric Clapton is not that great - the Yardbirds were much better with Beck. Interesting that no one mentioned Les Paul in the posts. | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones I doubt that I will ever change out the W4S as it is at the top limit of my budget for an amp and preamp. The wife is somewhat understanding but I think that I have about run out of rope on that score. | |
| Room Treatments for Maggies Johnnyr,I am a novice. Please explain what the resistor does and how it impacts the sound. What happens if you change to one with a "higher value". With a "Lower value".Currently using stock setup from Magnapan. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP MacDadTexas, You have 3.6's correct?Outlaws of Love - I have never heard that album - first by the Police, right? | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones Well, the black the lesser of two evils and will never be compared visually to a Mac, Krell, etc.! | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP I definitely listened to the Maggie 1.7's before buying them. Here is my recent "audiophile" history:I was an double stack Large Advent Loudspeaker guy for about 25 years. Finally told the wife that I needed to upgrade. This is after capacitor upg... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Okay - the W4S SX1000 and STP SE have arrived and been listened to for about ten hours - maybe 12 different CD's - mostly jazz and acoustic rock. Initial impressions:Yes, Maggies love power. They sound a lot better. The sound is generally fully an... | |
| Compairson ground rules....should we have them? I think that the point about context is really important, especially as you get into tweaking versus component changeout. I shy away of opinions regarding speaker wires and interconnects because I question how many people get the context right - a... | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones "Bang for the Buck" is how I ultimately decided on the W4S.Based on what I read, it seemed like a good choice, especially with the W4S preamp. I also liked the reduced weight.I purchased the black and not the silver/grey. Seems to blend in pretty ... |
