A few years back I walked in the BB wearing my McIntosh baseball cap -- always wonder if someone will stop me and say great cell phones or computers, etc.
Anyhows, walked into the component & speaker room and a young salesman and I struck up a conversation about McIntosh Labs -- he was quite knowledgeable about the SS gear, but did know of the MC275/C20 combination that struck his fancy. After jaw jacking for awhile, he said he had his resume in at the local audio store down the road (BP knows who I'm speaking of -- Leon ...) and was hopeful he would have an interview in the near term. Small world we live in -- I've missed the last couple musicmatters events at that store & haven't any idea if he was job successful. Thought it was cool though and wished him well. Best Sirs, Bob

Someone got a pair of the Olympica 3s for half price here in Madison, WI. Sweet deal.

My local Magnolia was going to get me a part of Olympica IIIs for $5400 but unfortunately the store that had them cracked the top of the speaker while packing and that was the last one BB had. I had never heard the speaker but the deal was too good to pass up! They have Olympica I available but I want a nice floorstander. Looks like I may have to go back to my original plan of Focal 1028be or B&W 804 D3...
I am somewhat considering doing a bookshelf system instead with a Subs. Will I lose anything doing this vs Floordtanders? I have a lyngdorf RP1 which has a very good sun crossover. Last edited by malba2366; 08-13-2017 at 09:50 AM. |

We now carry KEF since we don’t have SBs anymore. Expect a full display of SVS also throughout Magnolia
