The prices on these two units are almost a wash with the refurbished model I found. It is the actual sound quality and features that I am looking for some comparisons on. I know that no one has the 3805 yet, but looking at the spec sheets what kinds of things differ?
Sorry this will be long, but I am somewhat new to this hobby with hopes of a dedicated theater in my next home in the next three years. I just purchased a denon 2900 DVD player and love it, so I decided I should update my aging Sony D50ES receiver to take advantage of the SACD and DVD-Audio...
I am not sure if you are hooked up by cable or sat. If you dont have a sat hookup yet, and you can, invest the money, your picture quality will be greatly improved. DirectTivo monthly fees are only $5 instead of the 12.99 for regular Tivo and worth every penny. After a few weeks with it, you...
The reason I am wondering what is new and exciting that I will see on the shelves over the next six months is because I am in the process of selling my house and moving once the place actually sells. I have about $5,000 now that I want to put into upgrading my theater set up. If I was to do it...
Love Curb Your Enthusiasm but can not find the humor or genius in Arrested Development. I don't understand it, but then again I like queer eye. Some shows, and not so much the formula the producers utilize to create them just grab you.
If the center is such an issue, I wonder how off a Martin Logan Theater I would be with the 3.6's. I would have to hear everything together before I committed money to that experiment.
Thats good to know Andrew, I haven't gotten to the point where I was able to listen to the center channel. I am willing to make small adjustments to my ideal room size such as 1 foot here or there to allow maggies to do their best work, because I relly liked their sound and their price. But I...
This question goes hand in hand with a room size question I have out in the Theater Build Section. How many people out here have either the Maggie 3.6 or 20.1 as their mains in a theater room. I am a little concerned that speakers this large and wide will be a distraction from the screen if...
As my search continues, I heard some Veinna Strauss today that had a real nice sound. I don't know why but a lot of the speakers I am listening to lately sound a lot better to me than the B&W's at a lot better prices. I have a feeling this will be my winter quest, to hear as many high line...
Yeah that is where I went to hear them. I believe they are the only dealers here in the chicagoland area. They do have some really nice stuff like a couple of $12,000 boulder monoblock amps just lying around. Hell the speaker wire they use cost an arm and a leg. It is nice to be able to hear...
Robert I am still going to hear as many speakers as I can but from what I have heard thusfar the maggies are the way to go. Is there a particular amplifier and sub that you guys know about that compliment the magneplanar 3.6's if that is the route I take.
Alright guys, so I had a chance to get out and hear some magneplanars. Wow, nice sound. The great thing was that the same store carried B&W 802's as well. So after being able to listen to the maggies and the b&w's one after the next, the maggies (3.6) sound a heck of a lot better IMO than the...
Thanks for the advice stephen. I like what I have heard, but I am slightly sceptical about how well the logans will deliver the mids andd lows of todays demanding music. I have very eclectic tastes that will have me listening to classical one day and rap the next. I know the logans shine in the...
Danny when it comes to music are the logans head and shoulders above the b&w's or just slightly better. Between the two which speaker sets a wider less direct sound that would make you feel as if the speaker had disappeared? I am also curious what everyone thinks about the advantages or...
Newbe here, so take it easy on me if this question has been discussed in the past. I am looking to spend around 10K on my fronts and a center speaker, the rears and sides will follow suit with my fronts choice. My listening is about 65% Movies and 35% Music. These speakers will also end up...
