    Is it: Watts, current, damping factor, or something else?

    What is the determining factor in ''controlling or driving" some speakers, especially woofers. I will assume a combination of all three (or four) above but would like to know what others think. I understand that many people have no issue driving their high efficient speakers but some do (think...

    Mcintosh MC601 / C50 best RCA interconnectors?

    So the title says what I am looking for. By the best, I do not mean "money no object" by any means. I am looking for RCA cables that have a proven track record from anyone who has any experience with the same electronics. Right now, the CDP is a Marantz SA-8001 but may change to another...

    JBL/Cerwin Vega & Sansui

    Klipsch Palladium and Marantz?

    I am thinking of trying the P-39 with my Marantz reference gear. To those who perhaps have heard this pairing or something to this effect, would this be a good match or not. I would love to hear opinions either way. My current JBL 1400 Arrays sound great as they are but this frigging hobby...

    Marantz SA7S1 SACD-external clock?

    I am curious if anyone has used an external clock, such as the Grimm Audio CC1 which HI-FI World prasied (while attached to the SA7S1) in a 5/09 review. I am very happy with the player stock but I am curious about this. Thanks for any comments.

    MC452 vs. MC402 amperes?

    I am curious about some comparisons. Mainly the rated current amperes output of the MC452 of 75 and the MC402 of 100 ( per owners manuals published on McIntosh's website. I was (am) under the assumtion that the higher amperes the amp has, the better 'control' over the speaker. Am I incorrect...

    Marantz SA-Ki vs. McIntosh MCD301

    Does anyone know if there is a great improvment of the McIntosh over the Marantz? Not a huge deal but I would like the look of an all McIntosh system if there was a significant difference since I may be able to purchase the 301 (used) at a good price. I posted this in the McIntosh section...
