| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Teajay,You are not the first person to feel the 3.7's were not "significantly" better than the 3.6's. My take is different. I had the opportunity to buy 3.6 demos at half the price of the 3.7's and said "no thanks." For me the 3.7's were clearly s... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Well, this is just great. I just took delivery of my new 3.7's 2 weeks ago, now I have the upgrade bug before my 3.7's are even close to being broken in. My only piece of mind is knowing if I went with the new 20.7, I'd have to upgrade my house. T... | |
| RE: Shipment Stopped by US Customs I brought a TVC in from Canada earlier this year via Fed EX. I had the same experience. Both the seller and I stayed on top of it, otherwise, I would never have gotten the shipment. If you expect to be bringing goods in on a regular basis, you can... | |
| Magico V2 / Dynaudio C4 I heard the V2s and C2's, sorry, not the C4's, on the same day. The V2's are good speakers. Good dynamics, imaging, and extension. I thought these would be pretty good with orchestral works. I actually preferred SF Cremona's to the V2's on small s... | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range Magnepan 3.7R's are $5500, just a bit above your range. The hegel is 220 W into 4 Ohms. That might be enough to drive the 3.7's. They are worth considering if you have the room to set them up properly. I spent the best part of a year auditioning s... | |
| Mccormack DNA-1 deluxe vs PASS X150.5 amps?? I've owned both dna 0.5 deluxe and dna 1.0 monoblocks. If your system leans toward the bright side, the 0.5's might be better. It worked pretty well with my magnepan 1.6's. I would say the 1.0's are more resolving, a little more to the cool side. ... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... Accuracy of timber like Sophia III's.Dynamics like Magico V2.Goosebumps like SF Cremona's.Priced like Maggies.That should just about do it. | |
| need cdp for mag1.6qr, wyred4s I also have Magnepan 1.6QR's. The ModWright Sony 5400 fits all of your selection criteria. It is tubed, it will come in at under $3500 including purchase of the stock sony, and you can't find a straighter guy than Dan Wright in my experience. Chec... | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? Dsper, I don't think you should rule out the 3.7's based on concerns about room size. The ideal is always to have an in home audition, but that isn't always possible. You ought to be able to get an in store audition with a room that is at least a ... | |
| AVR for Magnepan 1.7s I suggest you consider keeping your current receiver, use the pre-amp out, and pick up a good used power amp to drive the maggies. For $1500 used you ought to be able to pick up something that will do the maggies justice. Check out high current am... | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? Dsper, Your question is a good one and the answer is also of interest to me. I'm just not sure a definitive answer is possible. I have 1.6's in a 14 x 19 x 8 room with the speakers along the short wall, out about 5 feet. I have plans to put 3.7's ... | |
| personality as afctor in component selection Minkwelder, I forgot to mention that in 58 years I've only had one football team. Otto Graham is really hard to get over. There is just no hope for some of us. | |
| personality as afctor in component selection Interesting proposition. I don't see why personality would not play a role in selection. Who would suggest that personality does not play a role in selection of an automobile, a career path, even a spouse? So why not selection of audio gear? Oh de... | |
| What would happen if Maggie and Wilson Mated? I'm not sure what it would sound like, but my guess is it would look like a Dali. As in Salvidor Dali. It would surely win the prize for last place on the WAF scale. | |
