| $35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why? I have progressed through a series of speakers over the past ten years, with the constants being Mac tube pre and power. I landed on the Rockport Avior II and recently added a JL Audio Fathom 112v2. For my room size (12 x 14 x 12) this combination... | |
| What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell? Another +1 for Rockport Avior IIs. Great at all volume levels and pair well with McIntosh C2300/MC275. Past speakers include ADS 810, JBL L166, Triangle, Harbeth, Sonus Faber, McIntosh, JBL horns and Magico A5s. Long strange trip. | |
| McIntosh decisions Big Mac fan. I run my Avior IIs with a C2300 pre and MC275 V. Both units restored to factory specs by George Meyer in LA for a reasonable amount. Great at all volume levels. Upgrading the power outlet and plugging the amp directly into it has all... | |

| Best products and process to polish piano black KEF speakers Opti=Seal by Optimum is the bomb. I have tried many products and this is the one that polishes in to leave a deep blemish free shine. | |
| Tidal or Qobuz Here we are a year later. Just renewed my Tidal trial subscription for $2 for 60 days. The reason is more and more Roon/Qobuz tracks are playing with soft clicking sounds. Annoying. I opened a case with Roon, provided all of my gear specifics and ... | |
| Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? I upgraded to the Avior ll’s about 3 months ago and they are a perfect fit for my system. Are they end game? Is anything end game? I don’t know but for now they are by far the best speakers I have owned (many) or heard. Happy to talk about them an... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s Not on the OP list and worth considering - McIntosh MC275 with C2300. Amazing sound. | |
| Upgrades and repairs on hi fi components Another thumbs up for George Meyer in LA. I am able to drive there and have spent quite a bit of time talking vintage Mac gear and required maintenance. Expensive and worth it. Much more expensive to have repairs of repairs.. | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear Having owned Mac equipment for most of the past 25 years, I would like to add my thoughts. SQ - suits my ear, more the tubes than the solid state. I have made money on all of the Mac gear I have sold over the years, except for the speakers. My ma... | |
| Magico A3 replacement I upgraded from the A3's to the A5's almost three years ago and have been enjoying them tremendously. The A5 is a great speaker that plays above its class. I run them with Mac tube pre and power and have added two B&W DB3D's. I am a solid Phi... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Grateful Dead - American Beauty | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? @garebear and @ezwind - I searched spotify, qubuz and amazon for the show but only found a few cuts - where might one find the entire show? | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? When I have the house to myself my current routine is to grill some sea scallops, open a bottle of chardonnay and spark a fatty From there, I find a show from the dead & company catalogue and go to 100. Enjoying the ride. | |
| Speaker recommendations :-) I had the Harbeth SHL5’s and really liked them at low volume, good for jazz and acoustic music. I had the 4367’s and they were too big for my listening room. I now have the Magico A5’s with a B&W DB3D sub and could not be more pleased with the... |
