My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why?
Okay, little update here...and this is for MY particular ROOM.  I think I've solved my situation, and posting in case it helps any of you.  I have a small room, and had the tweeters on the inside all this time, figuring it was the best plan with m... 
My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why?
Hi Friends,  So I am at about 250 or so hours with my new 1.7i's, and also experiencing the lack of highs, and sort of lifeless sound as well. Do they ever open up more, after more hours...or is this it?  🤔  They are quite slow sounding, and I ha... 
Dynaudio Special 40 in the house
Hi folks, I just got a pair, and hear a certain distortion in the tweeter with female voice on certain notes.  What could this be?  Crossover, tweeter?  Not sure, but it bothers me.  Just bought a week ago.  Burning in at only moderate levels, w M... 
Has anyone tried the Cardas Parsec speaker cable?
I have the interconnects and speaker cables and they're amazing!!  Perhaps the quietest most neutral cables he's had to date.  The bass is amazing too.  Fuller bodied and detailed.  Vocals are astonishingly transparent.  LOVE this cable!  A sleepe... 
McIntosh C 220 Pre amp tubes...
Thanks for those inputs above guys...very helpful! Enjoy hearing what you use. 
McIntosh C 220 Pre amp tubes...
Any suggestions on tube brands you like? Are Mullard nice ones to go with? Read they're robust and pretty 3D sounding. Not sure what a nice brand to go to would be. Perhaps I should call the guy mentioned above. Thanks. 
McIntosh C 220 Pre amp tubes...
Thanks Guys! I would like to try some different ones. My pre amp is rather flat sounding...and I'm wondering if different tubes would add more body to the sound. I just hope they're easy to get at and replace. Thanks for all the good advice/insigh... 
Conrad Johnson vs. McInosh....
I am looking into a CJ classic for myself, and the new MF 2550 SS amp. Currently have a Mac C 220 pre, and MC 252 amp. Sound is a little flat sound staging wise, and at my dealer the CJ gear sounds more 3D and robust/lifelike. That's why input fro... 
looking for advice on bookshelf speakers
I would go an NAD or Cambridge audio amp with perhaps Wharfedale speakers. I personally love Dynaudio speakers, and though they have silk dome tweets, they can be a little treble happy. However, if you pair Dyn's with Cambridge Audio integrateds o... 
Vu meters on my Mcintosh MA-6500 no longer "Blue"
If you have this service done at Audio Classics for the LED lights how much is it? Thanks. 
McIntosh MA6300 or 6500?
Thanks so much. Any changes in the circuitry or "voicing" of the 6300? Just wondering where it's newer if anything is better or not. Rumor has it that significant changes to amplification has not been. Not like digital etc. So if they are close, t... 
Dynaudio burn in time and how you do it...
These are great responses/insight folks! Thanks so much for your input and help. 
Dynaudio burn in time and how you do it...
Do any of you own the Ayre burn in CD? I have tried track 4, which makes the woofer move a bit...is this okay at moderate levels, or will it harm the woofer in any way? Sorry to ask stupid questions, but the liner notes on the CD offer nothing of ... 
Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp
I would think very hard about the Quad 909. I think that with the classic would be a dream. Underwood hi fi sells those at a great discount, and it has gotten rave reviews. It will drive most anything at a conservatively rated 140 per side solid s... 
McIntosh and Brystons: Fair comparison ?
I think Mac's are more refined as I've owned both. Bryston's are great no question, but even with Bryston's great amp warrantee I still feel the Mac's are more reliable internally and smoother sounding...like the softness of edges in sound and tex...
