How many Maggie owners have special stands?

The Mye stands are one of the most significant upgrades I have done for my hifi system and no Magnepan speaker should be without them. The music has been improved across the spectrum and the speakers are far more stable.

The struts attached toward the top of the panels provide more rigidity than just improved bases attaching at the bottom. The pictures of the 3.6 on the website are my speakers. The precise fit and powdercoat finish are first rate. There are no extra holes drilled or modifications required to fit the stands.

The photos show Satori speakers cables that have since been replaced with Audience Au24. Another very worthwhile upgrade.

Thanks for the tip, I went to the page you mention and they actually say .276 not .246. I decided to try their exact recommendations which moved my seat a few feet closer and the speakers are now within a 1/4 inch of the specified formula. I think this may be the best my stereo has ever sounded, the bass seems to be in perfect balance with the mids and highs and quite dynamic too, also the tone of the mids is quite good, (still a little thin - but I think that is my stereo not the setup). Also the imaging is very good. Who wudda thunk you could sit close with Maggies?

Hasse, no I have a single run of wire as I think it makes more sense to get the best wire and a single run instead of cheaper wire in bi wire.

Eagle, I like the design of Mye stands but how do they attach at the top if you do not drill holes and use screws.

thanks guys :)

Philjolet, Grant Vander Mye developed a clamp for the edge of the maggies or the option of using the stile screws to attach the struts to pre-existing holes with the 3.6. For the 1.6 there is an edge clamp which is shown on the website.
Magnepan stands

has anyone compared the sound anchor stands for maggie 20.1 versus the mye stand?

I've had Maggies for years. The MG-IIIA's I'm running now I've had for almost 3 years. I'd been considering new speakers. Verity, Dunlavy, or Von Schwiekert. As always money was tight so instead of new speakers I called Grant and ordered some Mye Sound stands about a month ago. I'm sure glad I did. I saved a ton of money and got the Maggie sound I was after. Bass is deeper and hits harder. Mid's are smooter and the soundstage locked down like I didnt believe possible.

Sorry Phasecorrect, but you are incorrect. The stands are a very worthwhile upgrade. I think Magnepan would endorse them if they werent designing to a price point. All it takes is a quick listen. You will be very pleasantly surprised. I was!
