If your price range is still under $600 then I would also recommend the Sherwood Newcastle SD-860. Have one in my system, video performance is outstanding and it does a decent job with SACD/DVDA as well. Honestly the audio performance is likely better than what you'll get with your other...

I've heard the ML centers and was disappointed. Certainly not on par with their floor stander IMO. I own Maggie 1.6's and was looking for center speaker to match these. Of course the new Maggie CC-3 is a good match, but I was not blown away by it either. I ended up with a B&W Nautilus...

I have the following titles for sale, but will only sell as a package deal. I'm looking for $75 with shipping included within the 48 cont. states. All have been played once or twice and are in as new condition: Queen - We Will Rock You Cheap Trick - Silver Alice Cooper - Welcome To My...

I haven't heard the KEF's so I can't comment on them, but I have heard the Infinities and the 805's and IMO it's not even close, 805's hands down. I don't own the 805's, but my center speaker is a HTM-2 which is really just a 805 on it's side, and I couldn't be happier. BTW, if you've got a...

Got my HTM-2 yesterday and all I can say is, Yahoo! Seriously, this speaker is everything everyone said is was. Smooth, detailed, and accurate, everything just sounds right. And, it's actually a great match for my 1.6's. I was apprehensive about paying $900 for such a small speaker, but...

Go on-line to http://www.audioshop.on.ca// and check out the new Dahlquist line. These are some of the best budget speakers available, period! And, because of the great exchange rate you can get one heck of a good deal. These are comparable to and maybe even better than the Paradigm Monitor...

O.K. lots of reply's here so let me throw my 2 cents in. You were worried about mathing you mains? Try using the HTM's with Magnepan 1.6's. Yes, this is exactly what I did. Like the one fellow pointed out, I too feel it is more important to have a really good center than one that is the same...

Yes, I noticed this too and I have Maggie 1.6's which really do justice to female vocals. Unfortunately there are many CD's out there recorded this way. I think they do this because the mass market of people like the boost on their cheaper systems that are not so revealing. Another good example...

Doug, welcome to the Maggie family. Go here for all the Maggie info you could ever want: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/mug/bbs.html

I'n my area only CC and BB sell SACD's. Both have a section where the SACD's are stocked separate from the standard CD's and of course carry a higher price tag. However, if I've been reading some of these post correctly, there are some SACD's out there that are being sold at near the same...

I've got a pretty decent collection of about 40 DVD concerts so far. Here are some really good ones that I have not seen mentioned: Jazz: Norah Jones - Live in New Orleans Rod Stewart - It Had To Be You Rock/Pop: Depeche Mode - Exciter Tour Roy Orbison - Black and White Bee Gee's -...

A Very good spekers for the money. Bought my son the QX-9's and was very impressed. Comparable to the Paradigm Monitor line, but with a much better mid-range. Hard to beat for the cost. Also, Marc is a great guy to work with. If you have enough room and are willing to put extra money up for a...

Yes, by all means, please post the results. The Rockets look interesting.

Hello Lon. I'm currently going through a similar ordeal, except I dumped my Klipsh years ago. :-) I do kind of miss the Cornwall's. I heard the Maggie's a couple of weeks ago and was blown away. They are very inefficient and lack dynamics and bass, but man, what sound! They're the closest to the...

I'll let you know my experiences some time next week. I ordered a pair of the MMG's today. I heard the 1.6's and 3.6's at an audio dealer about a week or so ago and was blown away. However, I use my living room for HT/music and have a large screen T.V with a entertainment center that flanks it...

I bought a pair of the QX-9's for my son for Christmas, I've had the Axiom M80ti's in my home for an audition, am very familiar with the all Paradigm models, but haver never heard the Rockets. I might add that I have never compared any of these side by side using the same electronics, etc. I...

If you decide the HTF are not your cup ot tea, I would suggest you give some very strong consideration to the offernings from Dahlquist. One of the best values out there for the money. You would have to get ahold of Marc at the Audioshop (located in Canada), as there is currently no U.S. dealer...

I too would like to know. I don't have the 100's, but I have the PSB Stratus Gold i's. The problem here is that both of these speakers are essentially flat to about 30Hz, so it's going to take a pretty good sub to make a difference, yes? Also, when using large speakers such as these what...

I'll throw PSB into the mix. Stratus Gold i's for your mains (no sub needed with the right amplification and outstanding for music and movies, Stereophile class b rating since like 1991), PSB Stratus C6i (voice matched for the Stratus lines) and and Stratus mini's for the rears. The Stratus'...

I think the Axiom's and Dahlquist will both hold up well against the Studio-20's. I have a pair of Axiom M80ti's that I'm currently auditioning and I bought my son a pair of Dahlquist QX-9's for Christmas, so I'm familiar with both lines, but with their floor standing models. However, I got the...

Is there anyone who has compared these two speakers? I'm also very interested to hear how the M80's fair against the Studio 100's. I've heard the 100's, but not the Axiom's, anyone? I guess we are going to have to depend on our Canadian friends to provide allot more of the reviews in the...

I've owned my PSB Stratus Gold i's for a couple of years now and they are very good. However, I've never heard the Axiom's or the Rockets and was curious how they would compare to my Gold's? This would be a comparison with both company's TOL of course. Also, the Rockets don't appear to be very...

Hello everyone. I've followed this thread for some time now and am considering a SVS. I also noticed that some of the folks from SVS are on here every once in awhile, so I have a few questions for them or anyone who can be of help. First, I'm curious what you guys are using for your main...

I'm so excited about the Dahlquist speakers that I wanted to share my experience. I was looking for moderately sized/priced floor standing speakers to get my son for Christmas. I was going for Axioms until I found all the positive reviews for Dahlquist. I took the advise of many and contacted...
