    New 20.7’s

    The 20.7 will absolutely smoke a 3.7i with any amount of subs. properly set up 20.7 do not require a sub. I get great mid and low bass on my 20.7’s after I had them setup by a professional. I had ordered a pair of subs but cancelled them bc I’m getting consistent low 20hz in my room. Fast...

    Question about vintage Magneplaner

    Yeah I was responding to cfgardei1. It’s just silly to me for one to make those type of comments regarding audio.

    Question about vintage Magneplaner

    I’m glad that gives you a satisfying sound. That was not my point. The gentlemen stated that there is very little difference between $3k amp and $30k and that’s simply not true. I’m not going to beat a dead horse and go back and forth. Believe me the last thing I would ever want to do is come...

    Question about vintage Magneplaner

    ! Ok my man now you’re just being silly. There is a huge sound difference btw your typical amp $3k and $30k amplifier. I think you need go out and listen to other amps and stay away from just what’s at your local boutique. Or shall request you listen without a brand or price bias.

    Pass or Bryston with Magnepans?

    Same here I hope you’re doing well. Again I’m never going to say what is better as that is extremely subjective or that anyone needs to spend X amount of coin to achieve great sound. However I do believe some high-end gear bring you closer to what the artist and recording engineer intended it...

    Don't accept what people will say as fact

    My room is 14.6W x 16.8H x 8.5H. My speakers are 6.5 feet from front wall and I have zero problems with bass. I also have a dedicated listening room so it allows to me to totally dial them in without compromise.

    Pass or Bryston with Magnepans?

    I don’t know why I’m doing this but I have to say you’re wrong. I’m not saying most expensive anything is better but I would say the difference in price for the most part is nuance and getting you closer to how live music really sound. As a person that loves music I spent a lot of time...

    Don't accept what people will say as fact

    I have 20.7’s and don’t think I will ever have the need or desire for a sub. If you properly setup the larger Maggie’s you will be rewarded with accurate bass and unbelievable realism. But remember your room is a big part of the equation. I’m listening to Charlie Haden right now with Paul Motian...

    Myesound stands vs magnarisers

    I used Myestands with my 3.7i‘s and my first pair of 20.7’s and they were amazing. i was willing to give the Magnariser a try for my current pair of 20.7’s but the development by Mr. Raus was just to far out, so I decided to go with sound anchors. I should have them in about a week so I’m super...

    VTL S400 Series ll Tube Rolling

    Doing my first bit of tube rolling on the VTL S400 amplifier. I replaced the stock JJ electronics 12AT7 with Gold Lion 12AT7’s. This means that the entire amplifier with the exception of the (2) Electro Harmonix 12BH7 tubes, are all Gold Lion reissued. I’ve been told that GL 12AT7 tubes are...
