| Upgrading bose 301's .. the next step ? We really need to know what your musical listenting habits are. If you like classical, jazz and accoustical music, the Magnepan MMG's at $550 direct from Magnepan are hard to beat as an entry level audiophile speaker. However, they are harder to d... | |
| center channel match for maggies? I honestly think you are better off leaving the Maggies as an audio only system rather than trying to have them do double duty. If you absolutely have to use them in a combined HT and audio setting, I would recommend that you skip the center chann... | |
| All Value System Under 5K Sedond:What exactly is entailed technically in "removing the passive X-Over". Is this a fairly easy procedure? Can a novice handle it? Or is this for true techies only.Sibelius | |
| All Value System Under 5K Mgs:The Newforms absolutely do not need any additional Power. The Odyssey has more than enough juice in Stereo Config. A whole different world compared to my current guzzling Maggies. The reason I am going to Mono's are (1) It's relatively cheap a... | |

| Newform Speakers...your experience? I agree with the comments above. As a former Maggie owner, I thought I would stick with Maggies for my new speaker. However, I was slightly disapointed with the 1.6's after a lengthy audition and did not have the wallet nor space for the 3.6's. Af... | |
| All Value System Under 5K MgS:I am very satisfied with the Stratos/Newform/Elad Combo. Very detailed. In fact, I have just called Klaus and put in an order to convert my single Stratos to a pair of Mono's.My next purchase will probably be a used tube preamp. I am not doctr... | |

| New Maggie Owner; What amp???? For $1100, you can order a 150wpc Odyssey Stratos from Odyssey Audio. I highly recommend this Amp. It is a leader in the "value for the money" category. I have been so satisfied with this purchase, I have purchased a second unit and will have them... | |
| Tube preamps under 2K with 2 outputs? Thanks for your input all. It is very appreciated. | |
| odyssey quality amp???? Yes, I have been very pleasantly suprised with the Odyssey. It is everything people have said. It is extremely well built and highly musical at a great value. I will probably be ordering another one next week. Do not get caught in the marketing hy... | |
| Are Monoblock s worth it? Sedond - thanks for the clarification. I will probably give Klaus a call on Monday. It looks like the "hi-fi bug" has claimed another fool hardy victim in search for the holy grail of audible nirvana. | |
| Are Monoblock s worth it? Thanks for all the great feedback!As ususal with this forum, an initial question brings out an furthur inquiry.It seems, from all the above, that 2 AMP's will definately have a beneficial impact. My new question is are there any advantages in goin... | |
| I NEED HEADPHONES....NOW The combination that I have found that does wonders for me is the Senn 600's coupled with the Antique Sound Labs MG Head tube Amp. You can get this combo for $600. I currently am spending more time listening to this set-up than I am with my "main"... | |
| Separate Components If you do not mind shopping exclusively on the net, you can find a very good "new" system of separates for about $2000. I would recommend the Odyssey Stratos as the Power Amp ($995 to $1295 depending on options) and the Morrison Elad as the Pre-am... |
