| what sub would be best? B&W, MARTIN LOGAN, DEFTEC If you get a 10" Logan, buy the earlier Dynamos used, it's what I have. They're sealed rather than ported and by all accounts more accurate than the current model. For what you'll save buying used, for the money you can get two, always better soun... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 w/ Tubes & lots of Class D Power I'd consider the Mye stands seriously, don't know anyone who's used them without hearing a significant improvement.Oh, and let the audiophiles frown. The critics tell a different tale. They far outpunch their price point. You're an old planar hand... | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? Houston Reef, you can do it, but it will be tight. You'll probably want to run them tweeters out to keep the bass panels off the wall. Figure you'll want the tweeters about 8' apart and the speakers should be 2' from the side walls, you have just ... | |
| Maggie owners opinions wanted Secretguy, everyone who's done it will tell you that repairs aren't that difficult. Just a bit time consuming. But they provide directions. Basically, all you're doing if you repair a panel is removing the old wire and adhesive with acetone, then ... | |
| Mini Maggies ? Another possibility that audiophiles don't usually consider, perhaps because they think they're only for home theater, would be the Magnepan on-walls. They're apparently comparable to the 1.7 when paired with the DWM woofers. | |
| Maggie owners opinions wanted Secretguy, another possibility is to rebuild the III's yourself. Magnepan sells a kit for practically nothing, I gather it takes about a weekend. | |
| Mini Maggies ? Maplegrovemusic, here's a new review that goes into use of the Minis in a larger room. He gives some figures on maximum recommended room size and general setup guidelines.http://www.avguide.com/review/magnepan-s-mini-maggie-speaker-system-revisite... | |
| Mini Maggies ? I don't know because last I heard, Magnepan themselves didn't know and was asking people who tried it for feedback. Maybe you should call Wendell . . . he may know more now about what's likely to work than he did when they were first released. | |
| Speakers and ceiling.. Dunno, bass varies tremendously as you and the speakers move/are moved around the room. Rooms also vary tremendously in the frequencies at which they support or cancel bass depending mostly on their dimensions. Have you tried the old trick of putt... | |
| Mini Maggies ? If you're using them as nearfield monitors, the room can be any size, because most of the sound you're hearing is coming from the speakers themselves. | |
| Speakers and ceiling.. Usually containing the bass in the room is the opposite of what you want, unless you're concerned about disturbing the neighbors. The reason for this is that it reflects around inside the room which acts like an organ pipe, giving you peaks and di... | |
| Mini Maggies ? I think it should be emphasized that the CES demo was just that, a demo. They used every trick they knew to overcome their limitations and get them to work in a large demo space. (They were using a 2 kW Bryston on them, BTW, and double DWM-1 woofe... | |
| How much Power for Maggies 3.6 is enough Whoa, dangerous topic. It depends on how loud you like to listen, after all, 1000 watts is only twice as loud as 100. If you want to play Mahler at front-of-the-orchestra levels without clipping, you need that thousand watts. Even then, you can't ... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 I think you can pour sand into the Mye stands, I imagine that would do a good job of getting rid of any ringing.It's worth noting too that both YG and Magico use aluminum enclosures. Apparently, it's easier to control the ringing than it is to dam... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Clavil,The changes typically attributed to Mye stands include better bass with increased extension (this has been measured, not huge but clearly measurable) and greater midrange clarity/imaging. |
