    Focal 1008 Be

    Hi, I've recently listened to Magneplanar speakers and have a pair of MG12s at home for evaluation - driven by Raymond Lumley M75 Monoblocks - if you're looking for a beguilling neutrality look no further! These are simply magnificent speakers which 'disappear' and allow the music to simply...

    Amplifier for Magneplanar speakers

    Guys, I'm getting the MG12's on Friday to evaluate in my system for a week - Jon at Doug Brady's knows what he's doing, the sneaky sod! The 1.7's would be my 'ideal' choice (I expect)...in the brief listen I had, they were immediately superior to the MG12's - offering even greater depth and...

    Amplifier for Magneplanar speakers

    If I could, I would. I can but imagine how special they are! The 12's were great - listened for a good few hours. Jon (the dealer) hooked the 1.7's up at the last minute - they offered even greater clarity and control of the lower mid-bass! I will buy a pair - ideally the 1.7's!

    Amplifier for Magneplanar speakers

    I had a brief listen to the 1.7's also! They were even BETTER! If I can find the pennies, I will!!! The 'space and air' they offer is utterly beguiling...I now fully appreciate what 'boxiness' means when reading speaker reviews. A true epiphany!

    Amplifier for Magneplanar speakers

    I have just had the unbridled joyous good fortune to hear these incredible speakers at Doug Brady Hifi - they were driven by a Sonneteer Alabaster Integrated and were quite simply a revelation! What an incredibly sonorous sound! Believe me, these speakers are simply astounding! I will be...

    Sneaky Dealer

    Well, after the initial euphoria...the dust has settled! The Primare is detailed...in point of fact, very! However, it is cold; clinical, almost austere...where is the 'music'? And it is, after all, about the 'music'! It'll be going back! The quest continues!

    Sneaky Dealer

    A Primare CD32 has been ‘dropped-off’ for evaluation tonight – to show me the potential of my recently acquired (pre-owned) Raymond Lumley Model M75 Valve Monoblocks – by a very crafty dealer, Jon at Doug Brady Hifi. What a cracking CD Player – such imaging, timing, detail and a rock solid...

    Surely (who's Shirley?) Forum Admin's should ensure their system is fully compatible with what is most likely the web browser used my most users? I know IE9 isn't perfect, but it's ubiquitous...this is simply shoddy, very shoddy!!!!
