I'm thinking of buying a subwoofer to add to my 2 channel audio. Music reproduction is my highest concern, not HT. I own PSB Synchrony One tower speakers. How important is a remote control with a subwoofer? Once you set the volume, will you need to constantly adjust from CD to CD, or even song...

Sold my Musical Fidelity A5 integrated for $1415 a little while back and replaced with a Sim i7. Not unhappy with that sale. Just watched my Montana EPS2s go out the door today for $5000. I paid $8100 in June of '07. Felt pangs of regret almost immediately...always loved those speakers. They...

It's been almost 2 months since i bought an immaculate, barely used, Simaudio I7 integrated to replace my Musical Fidelity A5 250w integrated. This was a last gasp effort to pair my Spires with a high quality amp to hopefully eliminate the subtle harshness or edginess i experienced with the MF...

Has anyone tried any of the tube buffers from Grant Audio or Yaqin. Since i don't want to spend more $ on a new amp, I'm trying to smooth out my MF A5 Integrated/Spire combo. Yes, i'm trying to go the cheap route.

Why do Martin Logans have such lousy resale value and interest on the used market? I had my Spires up for sale at various times along with my Montanas and not once have had any responses on this site, Audiogon or Craigslist. I've had a number of responses on my Montanas although no firm...

I guess i have to start a new thread...not sure if anyone saw my other posting (or maybe everyone's just tired of me harping on this). Spire vs summit x: Here are some comments i've had with a gentlemen who owns numerous speakers and just upgraded to the Summit Xs from the Spires..i'm...

Anyone tried out this monster integrated ? 630W per side and has a tube preamp section....

here's a question...i'm trying to decide between a demo (with warranty) Musical Fidelity A1008 (250W) which has tubes in the preamp for $3,000 versus a Simaudio I7 (150W) for about $4300 without warranty. It seems the Sim is only one box while the A1008 has two boxes. The Sim is less power...

Some manufacturers don't publish this spec but I'm looking at upgrading to a Musical Fidelity A1008 integrated. The power supply has it's own separate box and this amp has a tube preamp section. When my current MF 250W A5 is sitting in idle with the mute on, it draws about 35 watts. The A1008...

I just had a stereo rep say he thought Martin Logan recommends plugging directly into the wall socket rather than using a surge protector. He said i might get better sound than thru my $79 Panamax. I also noticed my dealer didn't use a power conditioner or surge protector. Is this pretty common ?

I just borrowed a Butler 5151 amp from my dealer and hooked it up to my Musical Fidelity A5 integrated through the pre-amp out. When first turning on the Butler, there is no hum coming through my Spires. After about 10 seconds, once the tubes kick in, there is an audible hum from the speakers i...

Anyone have experience with Butler Audio? They are located in the Denver area i believe and seem pretty inexpensive. http://www.butleraudio.com/home.php

any opinions out there for best choice for the Spires?

Anyone have any experience with their Woodmere II or their new Decade D1s ? http://www.tyleracoustics.com/

I had a thread that was titled "How Much?" about some 35 year old JBL wood contraption that was sold on Audiogon. Guy was asking $11.2 K.....where'd the thread go?

Maybe someone can help me here. I have no interest in surround sound since i just enjoy 2 channel audio, but i would like to have my TV sound play through my speakers. My Musical Fidelity has a Home Theater Bypass .....what cables would i need to buy and where would i hook them on my amp? Would...

I'm looking for a used Simaudio I7 in excellent condition about a year old. What's a fair price for this unit w/out warranty? Max price you'd pay? I'd be dropping 100W from my Musical Fidelity A5 to the Sim. Don't think that'd be a big problem but i hate having an extra remote, since i now...

Hi, Bought some new Spires...Currently I have Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated, A5 CD player and Rotel RT-1084 HD tuner. Interconnects are Audio Magic Excaliber II, Audio Magic Xstream power cords...speaker cable Audioquest Bedrock...all is plugged into Monster HTS 3500 power center. I've...
