Unless you need speakers a lot smaller, why not the Magnepan 2.7x? Same basic design with true ribbon, and higher spec components throughout. With your subs, it will likely sound better than the 3.7i.
As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i
First of all, I do really enjoy the 3.7i, but at some point I'm going to need to downsize and I'm looking for suggestions of speakers with equivalent or better sound.
If they aren't full range, that's ok as I have a pair of SVS SB-3000 subs.
What the maggies could do better are better dynamics, bass weight and so forth (little better on rock and big classical).
The room is a dedicated listening room in the basement 26X13X7.
Budget is in the same range as the 3.7i,
Thanks

I’m also a Maggie guy. As I’ve listened to speakers at dealers and at gatherings of my local audio club, I have to say I find most cone speakers don’t push my buttons. I did, however, just hear the PS Audio Aspen 5, which has a ribbon tweeter. Their other, larger models add a ribbon midrange, so you might find them to your liking. They’re all 4-ohm speakers and about 87 dB sensitivity, so your Maggie amps should be a fit. And even the smallest speaker does bass very well. Cheers. |
