I haven't seen that particular brocure in a long, long time. thanks. feckin' love my ren 80 and 90s. far as I'm concerned, they're near perfect reproducing speakers. other then my maggies, no question I'd give up all the rest of my speakers to keep the rens.

Update: I've had them thirty days today. currently, I'm driving the maggies (3.7I) with a Carver TFM 42, as my pro amps are still in the shop,and I worry that the fosi za03, even in mono won't be powerful enough. I do plan to buy a pair of the fosi v3 monos and try them out on the maggies...

to be honest, aesthetically speaking, they do look good like that. kinda a home pa line array look Pretty much as soon as I posted, I figured you'd done a series/parallel wiring to keep ohms reasonable. I can't imagine the comb filter effects that must be going on, however. what series? is it...

how many amps are you using to drive that impedence nightmare?

yeah, I hope so. I love the ZA 03, just want more power.

pretty veneer! I like light colored wood. be sure and let us know how they sound in comparison to the kef ls-50 meta.

edit, 'cause I misremembered, they were Wisdom Audio, not Finale. sorry.

uh, in fifteen years I've blown one fuse. you need bigger maggies, or your amp is doing bad things. and yeah, ricky lee jones WILL do it. that voice though! I particularly love her on Rob Wassermans album Duos, doing the moon is made of gold.

I should have mentioned, I do drive the maggie 1.6QR with a Fosi Audio ZA93 to very loud levels, and it's CLEAN. These chip amps are an incredible value, in my opinion, and are a great replacement for virtually any vintage receiver

yup, that looks like a break. you can, as a super cheat, just jump that break with wire, or defroster repair kit, as a temporary fix, to see if the rtweeters play again, but expect there's other points of corrosion that will fail eventually as well.

Agree with Blue Shadow, but we are fighting a losing battle, as many call the amt tweeter a 'ribbon' or the EMIT a 'ribbon' or the Bob Carver 'Ribbons' or B&G ... etc etc. the simplest way to understand the difference is, a ribbon tweeter is not bonded to any substrate, like mylar, or kapton...

I usually bought lps, and would immediately rip them to maxell chrome cassettes for daily use. this only changed when I went off to college, and no longer had access to dads high fi, so for a short time, I only bought cassettes. Luckily, I made the shift to cds in the early nineties, when cd...

All I have to say is: Balanced outputs RULE! my 'bedroom' system uses a bryston pre with dual balanced outputs, I have a 100' run from there to my 'living room' system, (also a bryston pre with balanced inputs and outputs) and also feeding my pro amps, which also all have passthrough balanced...

Weird, for some reason when I clicked reply, it doubled my previous post. anyway, infrasonic filter was originally designed for turntables, iirc. to stop that low end rumble. It's been a long time since I had a turntable though, I could be misremembering.

matrix style surround. requires two preamps, but use one set to difference, and feed that signal to the rear speakers, and woilla, instant surround sound.

I am currently driving my 3.7i with a carver tfm-42 and the maggies eat up every bit of power the carver can output. eventually I'll try the fosi V3 monoblocks, and if that doesn't do it, I'll put back in both of my Carver PM 350s in bridge mode to drive them. in bridged mode it outputs 900...

USA! USA! USA! Magnepan, vintage Infinity, vintage M&K. I've also heard some great canadian speakers, great scottish speakers, great Deutsche speakers, and great japanese speakers.

those results as tested at asr are scary good. wonder how it sounds? My only wish is they'd kept the volume knob. I frequently have to db match speakers throughout the house, and have some horribly inefficient speakers (Magnepan 3.7i) within audio distance of incredibly efficient speakers...

I believe, but have not verified, that the entire speaker is mdf, with a sheath of real wood all around it. at least that's what I recall. my 90s have split along the top, and one of the 80s has the precursers, it's inevitable I believe. doesn't affect acoustics.

How'd you order? last I looked it was just on the site, with no ability to order. I'll be honest. I'm in for two of them soon as I can.

that unmarked thingie on the back is a tweeter attenuater? huh, guess I should have read the manual, I've never touched it. they're both at 1 pm. I've had 'em since 2019.... That's funny

Did anyone else get the promo email for the newly announced Fosi Audio V3 Mono with PFFB? I just received my second ZA 03 saturday, and have been listening to it as my 'second' amp setup in my main system. Personally, I think they've hit on a winning combination of clean power to cost... Not...

metal cone woofers. one big honkin midrange dome, and two emit-r tweeters. (genesis version, which afaik is identical) I look forward to your comparison.

AMTs are planars as well, regardless of what Paul McGowan says. there is still a mylar/kapton substrate the aluminum is bonded to. i would not suggest you run them 90 degrees from vertical, the original infinity speakers emits were able to rotate to mount either way, depending on which way you...

It's all about the D/A converter, and the D/A converter in most cd transports is crap. This is why the original playstation became popular as a cd transport, because it had a great D/A converter (for the time) I 'member when we all got excited because the then new dvd standard used high quality...
