UPDATE: As Maggie owners are prone to do, I did a little tweaking of my set-up. I keep moving the panels a few inches at a time but I think I have them pretty close now. I also made some solid copper tweeter jumpers and put Gold Lion KT88 tubes in my Prima Luna. The tube swap opened up the top end, have a tad more power, and the panels are perking right up now. I've come a long way in the last few days. Next change is some slo-blo tweeter fuses (poor man's hi-fi fuse).
New Magnepan .7s a Quickie Review
Not sure the .7s are getting much love and Stereophile magazine says they are a class C loudspeaker. I’m a fairly experienced Magnepan user with a lot of experience running MMGs, 1.6s, and 3.6s. I got my .7s yesterday and have them hooked up to a Prima Luna integrated. So far so good. A little bigger sound stage than a MMG but smaller than a 1.6. They might be the proper scale for some music choices. Mid range is typical Magnepan, the bottom is good but not particularly deep, and the highs are a notch down from the ribbon tweeter models, not far from the 1.6s. All the flat panel goodness is there which for me moves them into maybe a class B loudspeaker. I’m not disappointed, a solid upgrade from a MMG. I’m still testing but a good speaker in it’s price range.
