My Carver PM 1.5 that i was using to power a set of Magnepan 2.7qrs died today and im in australia and there is no easy place to take it to get fixed. What are the recommendations for a high sound quality pa amp to power a set of maggies(the amp I had was 450wrms). The maggies are 6 ft tall and...

Thank you this is my first dive into pa amps-running off a preamp/dac with balanced output so should be interesting to see the differnce between this and my 100w amps

I'm about to purchase one of these power amps to drive a set of magnepan 2.7qrs that I have. Im currently powering them with a pair of 100w monoblocks so I gather i dont need to worry about tripping the thermal protection if i dont listen at stupidly high volumes? Its only for use in a small...

Thanks for that -Im just trying to make my system work as well as possible with what im listening to as im sure we all are :-) but I did not take the significance of the whole electronic processing part of the live recording into account so yea that makes a lot of sense

the flac format is pretty awesome i could not believe the sound quality improvement when I started using Jriver media centre instead of my dvd player for music

well I'm just turning 40 and ive been into good quality hi fi since my early teens-vintage certainly is the way to go for exotic gear on a budget -I've picked up some really cool Kenwood power amps im still using plus an accuphase ampifier for $50 one time-had a Nad 3020 a rotel and quite a few...

nice

Welcome onboard from an Australian newbie I recon you'll really enjoy the site:)

AWESOME:banana:

I bought a power amp the other day that is about 30 years old and ive got another one im using they are both kenwood amps and they sound great but there is a lot of old gunk on the plugs on it i tried cleaning the ends of the plugs with contact cleaner but it didn't get the corroded 'stains'...
