| What is best sub to match with Magnepan? How about the Magnepan DWM bass panel? With a frequency response up to 7Khz it's certainly fast enough. True, it is more of a deep woofer (40 Hz) than a sub, but that 40-60Hz boost will provide that little bit of missing foundation for the 1.7s.I ... | |
| The best monitor under 1500 Your situation practically screams for the KEF LS50s--full bore Class A sound from around 60 Hz up, and perfect for smaller listening areas. However If you can consider a small footprint tower, I've heard the Focal 714V and was very impressed wit... | |
| Rogue's new Sphinx integrated. Anyone audition it? Hi. I'm pulling this thread out of the mothballs to see if the past five months have yielded more owners, more opinions, experience, or insight about the Rogue Audio Sphinx. It looks to be a strong candidate for comfortably and coolly driving a 4-... | |
| Soundwave Point Source 3.0 by Vero Research Although this won't help you find the woofer, you might still find this informative. | |
| Ultimate Classical Speaker. Magico Q5, Rockport... Venture Grand Ultimate MkII? | |
| Ultimate Classical Speaker. Magico Q5, Rockport... IME for classical and especially to reproduce a 9' grand piano, it helps if the speakers energize the room in a manner similar to the piano. A dipole helps, but an omnidirectional gets it spooky right, of course with the other characteristics ment... | |
| What is Imaging? Go to your local Magnepan dealer. Have them set up a pair of 1.7s or 3.7s and position them for ideal setup. Sit in the sweet spot and have them play your favorite music. Listen and observe. It should become very obvious what imaging is, as you wi... | |
| Oh My what to do? Have you checked the available HiVi woofers at Parts-Express? Maybe they have the specific replacement. | |
| SVS Ultra Monitors or Golden Ears Aon3 ? Congrats. I think those will give you what you were looking for. I've heard both the Aon 3s and SuperCenter (plus a GoldenEar sub) and was duly impressed with the natural sound and the smoothness, resolution, linearity, and extension of their HVR ... | |
| New Magneplanar 1.7 owner 11-18-13: SecretguyI'm curious about how you have the sub set up. I've never gotten a sub to sound right with Maggies. Are you using an external Xover? Or does your amp provide bass management? First, I have very small, very fast subs. They're the... | |
| Which $500 Speaker Next? I have two suggestions, based on recent auditions and a purchase: Instead of stand-mounts (and sorry, they're a couple hundred bucks more but don't need stands), but the Focal 714V impressed the hell out of me in all the things you're looking for-... | |
| New Magneplanar 1.7 owner 11-18-13: BrownsfanJohnnyb, MG 3.7Rs in 3, 2, 1----.Oh, no doubt Maggies are the crack of audio.I have an audio buddy who--in about a year's span--started with used 1.6s, upgraded to 1.7s, then to used 3.6s and last I heard was negotiating for som... | |
| New Magneplanar 1.7 owner 11-18-13: MofimadnessWelcome to the""Maggie Club"! I was a Magnepan dealer for years and your comments are usual after customers brought them home. Of course, they're not for everyone, but are indeed excellent speakers.Make sure you have lots of p... | |
| SVS Ultra Monitors or Golden Ears Aon3 ? Folded ribbon tweeter might be somewhat directional compared to some others and is very polite in a good way, ie easy on the ear. Might take some getting used to if one is used to more bite in the high end as may be more common with other tweeter ... | |
| Amp or Integrated amps for SVS Ultra Towers Congrats on the Grand X-1. I've always been impressed with the sound of Peachtree electronics, and they do killer DACs as well.How long have you had your SVS Ultra Towers, and how do you like them? I'm shopping for $2K-ish speakers and they're on ... |
