Magnepan, Best midrange?


Other than Horns of course.
A few days ago on another audio forum, someone mentioned *why don't you ck out Magnepan??**
I wrote back, seems magnepan is OOB.
He was a  bit upset at my lack on reserach.
SEems Magnepan is still alive and well.
In fact there may bea  back log for the LRS 
Like months back order
Man , not sure why NO ONE here mentioned magnepan's???
Could this be the speaker I've been searching for some 20 years now??
Sure sensitivity is wayyy off my 92db sens limit. 
@ a  miserable 86db sens
However, conisdering the panel is 10x's the size of dual W18's + a  6.5 DavidLouis Full Range + a    Seas Cresendo, all added up, still is less voicing surafce area vs a the Manepan.

I'll run the W18's as bass, If I need extended highs, I'll add a  pair of Cresendos.
WOW and under 
$1G
Alott less, like $650!!!!!!!
Good thing here is, I have a  Defy7, power to spare for magnepan's demanding current draw.
Here is a  YT vid showing how you can modify the magnepan,, I;'ve not watched it yet, will do so today.
This Hifi Guy is the best hifi geek on Youtube.
He knows his stuff and has experiemented in countless speaker designs.
He's da man.
I can 't wait to get my LRS.

And gets even better, Made in the USA,, UNREAL.
If the LRS performs as hoped.
I will make a  long series of Youtube  videos, putting this speaker on the map,  promoting the Maggie as The Worlds Finest speaker.

Ck out all YT reviews of the Magnepan.
Every review gives 2 big thumbs up, 
Try to   that on any speaker on the market.

At this price and whatever the model you consider (1.7i, 3.7i or 20.7...), there are no better loudspeakers on the market in each category for reproducing Vocals and acoustic instruments such as guitars.
Timbres and soundstage are just incredible.
You need an amp with current to provide dynamic... but the Maggies will  take it all.
A few tubes in the chain of components to add warmth.
Two good subwoofers to take care of the bass if you go for the 1.7i and the 3.7i (though these ones will also do the job with no subs).
No special need of sub with the 20.7s... but it could help.
You can play them loud during hours without feeling any fatigue.
Music and emotion will surround you.
Listen to Joe Cocker's "You are so beautiful" or George Michael's "As" or Stacey Kent's "What a wonderful world" with the Maggies and you'll get right away what I am trying to say.


 
@ douglas_schroeder
I am very flattered to have elicited such a reaction.
But a little over the top, right?
For my part, I have found the loudspeakers (Maggies) that live up to my expectations (especially in the midrange frequencies that are most important to me - the title of this thread) and at a price that my bank account can afford. And now I listen to the music I love in peace.
This is what matters in the end.
Bye now!
