And a BMW is better than a bike.
Maggie owners -- Mye or Magna Riser stands
just thought i would poll the maggie owners on here, which are many, to see if you have either of these for your pair, and how/why you chose.
looks to me that the mye’s maintain stock height but are more substantial for stiffening the speaker and floor coupling, where as the magna-risers do less of that (but still better than the wimpy stock feet) but they do raise the speaker off the floor for a sonic benefit
would love to hear a discussion on the pros/cons of each (or third alternative, if there is one...) -- thanks in advance for any input
ps - i currently am enjoying a pair of 1.7i's but may move to 3.7i's

thanks @russ69 i want to make sure your confidence in the 1.7 to 3.7 upgrade applies to the current ’i’ models... some say the improvement is quite room size specific and marginal in the case of 1.7i to 3.7i, whereas it was more of a clear upgrade in the earlier ’non-i’ versions i find the 1.7i loads my room exceptional well in the bass and mids, i have already put alot of work into find the proper setup/toe in |
Sorry I can’t say that because even though I have the current .7s I have not heard the 1.7i or 3.7i. But the 3.7s have the real ribbon tweeter and that is the game changer not the change from wires to printed circuit. P.S. I have spent a lot of time with the 1.6s and in the right room they are very good but the 3.6 was WAY better. I have heard the 1.7s and the tweeter was holding them back. |
Of course, the only way to know "for sure" is for you to compare them in your system. All else is conjecture. I will say that I recently sold a pair of .7's with which I used MagnaRisers and then found a pair of MMGs which came with Mye stands. I prefer the MMG's/Mye set up. One man's experience to be sure. Of course YMMV. Relativity at work. |
