The Magnepan line, now and from the past. I am looking for owners experience.

I have owned the 1.6, 3.6 and the 20.  Because of life events I am now using my former bedroom system and looking to get back into one of the current entry level models.  I will be starting with using the Magnum Dynalab receiver, Wireworld Eclipse and Gold Eclipse cables, and Oppo cd player and will eventually upgrade to better amplification.  I am thinking of the LRS or .7, but I am in hopes of hearing some owners experience.  For what it's worth, I listen mainly to more classic Jazz and many female vocals from the fifties to now.  Dinah Washington, Ella, Diana Krall, Julia Fordham etc.

Thanks

Depending on the room size the larger the Magnepan the better the results.  I had 1.7i and a single cheap sub in a 12 x 15 room and the sound was terrific have since graduated to 3.7i with 2 subs and there is more of everything, instrument placement and definition are on the mark as is the soundstage.
If you can get out there and listen. Maggie's are truly great.

Yes the 3.7i speakers are in the 12 x 15 room.
I have them about 18" from the slide wall toed in tweeter 28" and mid bass side 36" from wall behind them. I bought from John at Audio Connection and was afraid they would be to large but he told me they would be fine and I’m glad I listened the sound is just spectacular.
The 1.7 was also great but these just give you so much more definition and instrument placement in the soundstage.
