| $2000.00 to spend on new speakers. Magnepan 1.7is if you have the power and the room size. Nothing else. That is all. | |
| Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s... CONOLETELY disagree with Maggie's having one sweet spot. Like almost all speakers they sound best in the center of the channels at the proper recommended distance for your room. However. And I,'ve had lots of great speakers over the years, the 1.7... | |
| Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s... Year after year after year after year after year Maggies when best speakers in larger size categories across several publications. Why look at anything else? | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! If legit this is a good analysis and, as the OP states, he has taken brand out of the equation. However, I've known this since I sold high end audio equipment in the '80s, that a preamp is always more important than the amp IF the amp is compatibl... | |
| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? Room? Amp? Sources? As several have said you can't go wrong with Magnepan, if you have the power and the room. | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with I will probably get flamed but I couldn't be happier with my Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 - though I wouldv'e gone for the monoblocks they make had I had the budget. | |

| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative Not sure you have the power but you are, to me, describing the Magnepan sound. Big room so 1.7i or bigger. Superb soundstage and transparency but need power. Love my 1.7is. I have a big open room so had to go the 2 sub route but if you have walls ... | |
| Never Use HiFi-Exquis - Worst Merchant Ever! +1 garyalex. His was an inflammatory, fact free statement. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Where is there a high end audio dealer in Huntsville? | |
| What would be your favorite 3 tracks that demonstrate how great your system sounds? Hmmm. 1. The Riverboat Song, Ocean Colour Scene2. Master recording of side 2, Dark Side Of The Moon, Pink Floyd.3. Master recording of The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, Traffic. | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! +1 on the Magnepans if you have the room and the power. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Not obscure in UK but very obscure here: "Moseley Shoals" by Ocean Colour Scene. "The Riverboat Song" is my favorite song ever and is a great recording that’ll stretch your speakers; especially imaging, speed, dimensionality. |
