| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh I did it spent above my means and bought a Pass 250.8 and XP 10 pre.While the Parasound Hint was a great match with the 1.7i the sound wasn't the same with the 3.7i. The Pass takes control and is more musical in every aspect as it should be at 5X ... | |
| McIntosh MC501 or Audio Research DS450M for Magnepan 1.7 I was considering Mcintosh for my Maggie's called several McI dealers and they said autoformer would not mate well with Maggie's.

| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh Purchased 1.5 and 2.0 resistors fron Magnepan arrived but when installed take all the life out of my listening. Gone is all the high end magic . I'll go back to just jumpers maybe try a different amp or more diffusion . | |

| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke I have the Parasound Hint never a problem great sound and questions always answered timely.I would not put Parasound in the same category as Emotiva as I had owned Emo monos and pre and the Hint was a definitive move up in sound. | |

| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh Did more critical listening and the problem seems to be rock CD's and lp especially during chorus singing. Even the new Chris Hillnan is awful( does any one else have this).Jazz, opera and all other types of vocals and music are great at any volu... | |
| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh Yes the stock resistors also tried solid copper wire. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh I don't have the resources to switch out pieces, I may try to borrow a friends amp.Prior to the 3.7i I had 1.7i and 1.7 which sounded smooth. The 3.7i brings more of everything but the harshness in the vocals are aggravating. | |
| speakers with balls As a Maggie owner they can definitely rock with clarity and focus, you do benefit greatly with the addition of a sub. | |
