The question is did you listen to these before purchasing them, and, if you did, what kind of electronics were used. Also, what kind of speakers did you have before? My take is that the somewhat soft PrimaLuna, combined with the somewhat soft Maggies and a possibly unfriendly acoustic in your room is possibly the problem.
My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why?
First time Magnepan owner - 5 days old 100+ burn-in hours on them
Associated Equipment:
-Denafrips Terminator Plus
-Holo Audio May KTE version
-Pass Labs X22 Pre-amp
-PrimaLuna EVO 400 Pre-amp
-Pass Labs XA100.8 Monos
-PrimaLuna EVO 400 Monos
-AntiCables interconnects and speaker cables
-Stock tweeter attenuator jumper replaced with AntiCables level 5 spade jumpers on the 1.7i's
My spectrum analyzer indicates both speakers highs are falling off beginning at 1.25K and are 9db down from 2.5K on
Been playing around with speaker placement and room treatments for 2 days now without any remediation. What am I missing? Suggestions appreciated.
