| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Meh...mumbo jumbo. I’d rather be listening to music, going for a walk, drinking wine, or visiting my local record store, than spending hours or days trying to prove/disprove a very subjective matter. Let your ears decide; it’s that simple. My ear... | |
| Your favorite 'concept' album I’ll echo the votes for Queensryche, including the Empire album. The Wall is also a favorite. | |
| Negotiate good price This has been the best read. Thanks. US and A! High five. | |
| Maggies to Tekton? Hey, thanks again everyone for your advice, comments, etc. Much appreciated. Here’s a photo of my listening/living room. Very soon, I’ll have a finished basement to equipment with audio gear. I have stuff laying around, so no sweat at all. 😀 ~ Jer... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @pure_dave, bass in my set-up is next to nothing unless I crank the bass control on my McIntosh. Even then, I wouldn’t call it powerful or dynamic. I’m talking about the Maggies without the powered subs, so maybe it’s a moot point. My old 250 wpc... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @lpretiring, thanks for the comments. I’d like to spend less than a grand, hence my focus on the Lore Mini or Lore Reference. I’m just dipping my toe into the waters of efficient, dynamic speakers. If I had $3k or $4k to spend, the OBSpatials woul... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @david_ten, thanks for the info! | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @uberwaltz, the Spatial Audio speakers look really cool, and by all accounts (reviews), sound awesome. At $3450 for the M5, that's beyond my budget right now, but maybe pre-owned is an option down the road? | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @pmm, I actually have 2 Syzygy subs, and they are great. | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @northman, yeah, that event certainly set my life on a different trajectory. But all is good now with a new lady, new perspective, etc. Maybe the quest for a "new" sound is just an extension of that. By the way, I have no plans to sell the Maggi... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? @gdnrbob & @speedbump6...thanks for the input. Consider me warned on returns. At less than a grand, if I don’t want to mess around with a return and the speakers are pretty good (but not exactly to my liking), I can always set them up in a bas... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Oops. Forgot to mention...sold my Maggie 1.6s and my Panerai PAM 001 after my divorce. Not even a year later, I bought used 1.7s and a Panerai 8Day. Go figure. | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Sold my Marsh amp & preamp after my divorce. Sold it for pennies on the dollar. It felt like therapy then. Now I just feel like a dumb ass. | |
| What's your profession? Age? I’m 51. I’ve been in the energy space for several decades. Think Enron (non regulated) and local electric utility (regulated). I didn’t work for Enron, but I transacted with them. Now I buy fuel for power plants. My system is modest - $5k-$6k - bu... | |
| Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s) For this 51 year old, a young Debbie Harry was untouchable. Just watch the Heart of Glass video. OMG. |
