1) Which of these MA bookshelves would be best for a 10x12 feet acoustically UN-treated room for music? I like fluid mids/vocals, smooth/non-piercing highs. Are any of these better than Dali Lector 2?

2) Where can I demo various MA bookshelves in Delhi?

 

[jjoyz]

Is this deal still on?

Looking to buy the MA-BR2 so can anyone pm me Mr Jalal's number..

Thanks

How good are MA GS10 compared to Wharfedale Diamond 10.5.

How good are MA GS10 compared to Wharfedale Diamond 10.5.

Did you take a demo?
Those are completely different speakers. More like north and south poles.

GS10 - Detailed, Extended bass, bright HF, Very good midrange
10.5 (compared to GS10) - Weighty bass with less details, muddled midrange and not so extended HF.

Hey Blasto - What Stereo Amp pairs well with MA Rx6. Rx6 is 100W but most amps (PM 6004/7004 are at most 70 W/c).. So are they inadequate to drive MA Rx6 ( I have a 100w/c AVR SR 6005)? Which stereo amp would u recommend ( have no idea about musical fidelity)

6004 will not drive to the max but few are satisfied with the combo.
7004 could drive.

 

[X man]

Thanks. But 7004 also has only 70 wpc vs MA Rx6 100wpc. Also how is Musical Fidelity compared to PM series in terms of pricing and performance ( not familiar with the higher end amps). Any other names you would recommend.

Can't compare PM7004 with MF, it's like comparing swift with audi. MF entry level amp is 99k where as PM6004 is around 45k. Obviously MF beats marantz but do you want to spend 99k for 76k speakers ? It's individual choice.

PM7004 can drive MA-RX6 easily. I am using this combo and pretty happy with it.

 

[santnai]

+1 to krishpiscean. It's unfair to compare Marntz PM7004 & MF amp considering the price factor. I would never spend 90K on MF amp rather I would go for pre power combo of AP in the same price range of MF. I heard this amp and blown away with it's performance.

 

[duggirala_in]

Not sure sir, I was not concentrating on bronze.
Golds can go further low as the takers will be less in that range.

Hi Blasto, how much further discount can we expect for GS10 Demo piece.

 

[krishpiscean]

Hi Blasto, how much further discount can we expect for GS10 Demo piece.

It's better to go for a new piece of this model coz the price is already down by 40% and for 10% extra discount it's not a good deal IMHO. Also, when i checked with Jalal he is adamant with the prices as he is getting continues calls from our forum

 

[X man]

Thanks. Very Valid Point Completely agreee. I have a Marantz SR6005 (100Wpc) which I am using for HT as well as stereo - Will PM 7004 (70wpc) give me a much better performance. Or Should I look at investing in a budget power amp to get a much better performance...

 

[BLASTO]

but do you want to spend 99k for 76k speakers ? .

Actually, amps can be up to 3 times the cost of speakers. It can be other way too from seeing people's setup.
Imo at least the amp should be same price or costlier.

Hi. If I were to choose between adding a CDP (have a blu ray currently) and Amplifier (have Marantz SR6005 currently)..with RX6 which one will give better incremental improvement.

 

[anm]

CDP will not give you much gain if you use digital out to your avr. You may try analog out from CDP and pure direct mode of avr.
What do you think is lacking in the sound? See if you can try both in your house/ setup. Anyone willing to lend for a session or better, few days?

 

[X man]

The sound is quite decent - some time feel vocals are a tad weaker -(not sure if its an AVR issue or a speaker issue). So was thinking if adding a CDP/Amp will lead to better performance.

Interesting comment.............you feel the sonic output will be better with analog over digital? How much of an improvement would it make? Might be worth to try it in my setup as well.
