| Which solid state amp loves a 4 ohm load? I tried to use Maggie 3.6's in a 60' X 28' room and partitioned it down to 45 X 28 for better results.I've been using a pair of Cary V12i Monoblocks with the 3.6's, having tried various SS amps such as McIntosh and Belles. The Mac ran out of steam... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Active bi-amping is going to be too expensive in the short term. I did finally pick up a pair of Cary V12i Monoblocks, so I have those working through the standard Magnepan crossovers. The Marchand crossover retails for around 2 grand with all the... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Sean/Rives, I had a question, the answer to which might help demonstrate each of your points of view. I was pretty astounded at the effect of simply walking backwards through the room, from the 12' point to the 20' point, centrally of course and f... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Sean, sorry I just posted my last response as you were writing yours, so didn't see/comment on your last observations. What you say makes good sense, particularly that most of the issues concern higher frequency brightness and sibilance effects. I... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Rives, thanks, I've seen your site and tried the simulator, but I can't get my room dimensions keyed in, as the max width on your simulator is 10m and my room is 15m wide.Newbee....my room is 45'X 28'. The speakers are 12' apart, 7.5' from the fro... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz Hey Sean, your suggestions about dealing with 'audible' issues such as hot upper mids are consistant with what I'm hearing. I should have said that I'm using the 3.6's without any tweeter attenuation, and I think that has certainly raised the high... | |
| Where 2 sit audio quiz C'mon Rives get off the fence...LOL | |
| DTS Concert Videos, Music If you like floyd try the Dave Gilmour Live DVD. The sonics are excellent. | |
| Help with increasing gain on pre amp or options? Thanks for comments so far, however, I just installed a high-gain mod from Audio Research (2 resistors lift the output from 12 to 18 db) and it's still not enough.It changes from disc to disc, but on most discs I can't get more than about 88db (at... | |
| audio research high gain mod in ss pre-amp Mike,I just added the two resistors for the 6db extra gain to my ARC LS15 (tube pre). It's probably the same mod with the same results. Sound quality is unchanged - no sonic difference that I could detect. The extra gain in real terms is marginal,... | |
| How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System? Thanks again Eagle | |
| How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System? Thanks Eagle, the amps are Cary V12i Mono's. Using two subs, would I basically run each sub in mono, just taking another speaker cable from each amp to the single sub?....The cary's have taps for 4 and 8 ohm, I'm using the 8 ohm tap as it sounds b... | |
| How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System? Hi,I'm using maggie 3.6's biwired with monoblocks, what is the best way to add a sub in this configuration?Also, is it best to leave the speakers running full range?Do I need an active x-over with this setup, or can a sub be added keeping my exist... | |
| How much does your system retail for? $24,000 with another 8 grand in bits scattered around the pad.I hate myself, and I hate the person who started this thread. | |
| Favourite Guitar CDs Try John Williams' The Magic Box on SACD - nice recording, some great guitar based music. It has classical roots with a 'world music' style....interesting mix! |
