| 30.7 MAGNEPAN Tour in Indy The 30.7 is a pipe dream for almost everybody.I visit all the Internet forums with big buck systems and have never found anybody that actually owns the 30.7 inspite of it being available for sale for over a year and a half.Saleswise the 30.7 is a ... | |

| Who Has Technics Headshell with Azimuth Adjustment? Headshell azimuth adjustments are worthless IMO.Azimuth adjustments need to be very fine (in a small window angle) to be of any practical value just as SRA.You need index marks to know where you are, and then listen for optimal results, and move i... | |

| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs @bdp24I do not use any subs with my MG IIIa speakers.The MG IIIas are in my home theater and MG 3.6s are in my main room.They are both flat to 30Hz and I do not feel the need for lower bass.I am more than satisfied. Bass below 30 Hz has little mus... | |
| Do you have to be “in the mood?” Both! Mood certainly effects the listening experience.If you are in a bad mood your system will start out sounding bad, but sometimes the mood changes as you play music.Also sometimes the system has to warm up, and that may take a couple of album... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs The 20.7 will go down to 25Hz in a good room with proper setup and a decent power amp.There is a noticeable sonic transition to subs with tall Magnepan’s, because Magnepan’s have tall bass waves, and subs have short bass waves.Some do not like pla... |
