mono amp for sub
The Carver zr1600 pro has a mono switch and would work well for a sub. It has a good deal of lower end control in stereo mode, so ought to work well. Rooze 
Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection
I guess all things come down to a dual between personal preference and system synergy.No one can really comment with any degree of authority on a component outside of their own system. How on earth do you know how it will sound with my Magnepan's,... 
best Speakers Cables for Magnepan 3.6R ?
Virtual Dynamics are worth checking out. I've had maybe 10 or 12 sets of wire in my system and the VD NiteII's leave everything else behind....it's just my opinion. 
Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection
Muralman, I know you have an allegiance to Henry, and you are passionate about the amps you own, there is nothing wrong with that. However, we all have very different systems and rooms, and equipment works quite differently from one setup to anoth... 
Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection
Loudandclear...thank you for being the voice of reason. There are too many people making wild and unsubstantiated claims about equipment performance....my Carvers are remarkable amps for the money. The dealer that I bought them from claimed that p... 
Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection
Thanks for the suggestions. Muralman, I think you and I have 'talked' about the H2O's in the past. You sent me a contact for Henry, and I spoke with him and recieved some info. About that time the price of his Mono's went up a $1000 and it put me ... 
"The Law of Diminishing Returns"???
I think that the Law of Diminishing Returns really does exist, but the problem is perpetuated by the manufacturers themselves. I'm convinced that many manufacturers make a new component(as a prototype initially) then assign a value to it based on ... 
Blown Tweeter & midrange fuses Magnepan 3.6r
Something isn't right about this picture. I've had over a dozen amps with my 3.6's and never blew a midrange fuse, despite playing quite loud (85db with 95db peaks measured on a RS SPL meter)and despite having a room over twice the size as yours. ... 
Best Subwoofer for Magnepan speakers
I just added a Legacy rf Xtreme, i was a bit skeptical since the thing has 2 15" drivers, and you read all the stuff about maggies being fast and subs not being able to keep up or whatever. Well, from what I can see, it's just a placement issue an...

How do I keep my cats off my amplifier?
Carefully place plastic sheeting on the floor around your amplifier. Glue pieces of broken glass all over the amp. The plastic sheet should keep blood off the carpet. When the cat dies, remove the sheets and sell the amp. 
DAC's for the money?
Jon,I own the Pioneer 47ai and the MF A324. The Pioneer is a darn good player, not just as a transport. To be honest, the difference between using it as a player and as a transport with the A324 are subtle. Don't expect anything dramatic if you de... 
Rives PARC or Tact 2.0 AA for room correction?
I used a Tact RCS 2.0, with all available input/output board options. First, if you are looking at the factory refurbished RCS 2.0, as I did, forget it. There is a 2.0s version of the 2.0 that samples at a higher frequency than the 2.0 The 2.0s is... 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
To follow on from Uppermidfi's post above, we are now looking at firming up on the November 20th meeting and also December and January.On January 22nd we are being joined by Robert from Ridge Street Audio, who has very generously offered to make t... 
Martin-Logan as alternative to Magnepan 1.6's
Delsfan, there are a couple of subtle but important points to clear up here. First, you referred to my comment about having a solid and parallel wall behind the speaker, and then commented on the wall behind your listening seat as being open into ...
