Naa, think Home Theater....as in 5.1. You just need to get one of those ginormous TVs a Maggie center channel and a sub and you're in business (also officially broke)
Are you planning on running solid state and tubes on these beauties?You never did tell us about the turntable, I don't believe.
Scott seconds the motion! Would be neat if they'd make a Maggie that has a 16:9 shape, perfectly flat, and a dull shade of light gray.Then you could use it to shine a projector on. Bob
Really? Jim
Yeah when I first got mine, they were on the short wall, and inside sounded better by far. But since going long wall, tweeters inside is almost unpleasant to listen to, outside is nice and open and just as precise as tweeters inside on the short wall.
Have you had a chance to really open them up and let em rip? Full review please
Not so much, Steve. I have to run the preamp volume to at least 2:00 o'clock to get them to play reasonably loud. I don't think the Parasound can keep up. It sure gets hot after an hour or so.I pick up my other amps from Computronics, and we'll see how the extra "oomph" helps. So far, except for Belafonte and the Phantom of the Opera, I have only played smaller ensembles. I need to try some more studio recordings instead of live or "hall" recordings. I DO find that they outclass the 1.6s at lower volumes, and the amount of detail that comes off the LPs is amazing. CDs? Not so much.
Very interesting, but contrary to what most experience with them on the inside. Jim
Oh yeah? How do you have yours set up?
If you need a little more output from your amps it might be time to drop a hint to Mrs. Thunderbrick about your birthday coming up (sooner or later):http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=1MNNEO500When you stop to think about it, it's really as much for her enjoyment as it is for you. If you're not happy with having to crank the volume to 2:00 to get some decent sound than she's not going to be happy, either, and it's important to keep your wife happy.This would be a selfless act on your part as it's for the greater good, wouldn't you agree?
