| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Word is you can't bi-amp them, they use a series crossover like the other .7's. | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 You're right, latest word is that they have both the series crossover and a quasi-ribbon bass panel. | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? 20.7 is now official:http://www.avguide.com/blog/first-listen-magnepan-s-new-flagship-207-loudspeaker | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Elem, I've noticed some very faint grain in the highs of my XPA-2. (My old Hafler, by way of contrast, is grainless, with the rounder MOSFET sound.) | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 "Are they (magnepan) simply going to 'skip' 20.2->.6?"Either that, or they have a lot of failed models littering the workshop floor. :-) | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? I know what you mean about the wait. As I recall, the 1.7's were delayed for a while because their milling machine went down. The 3.7's if I remember correctly started shipping not long after their introduction at CES. The Mini Maggies took two ye... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 The 20.1 is no more inefficient than the 3.6, so I wouldn't worry about amplification. If people put bigger amps on it it's likely because it *can* play louder, not because it needs them to produce the same SPL as the 3.6. Also, as someone pointed... | |
| Magnepan MMGW/MMGC Receiver and Sub settings? The midbass below 100 Hz is very important to the sound, satellites that cross over at 100 are always supposed to be used with a sub. It's lower down that subs become optional, there are few music fundamentals below 37 Hz, basically pipe organ, ba... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? I've never heard it either. My XPA-2 doesn't do it. | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? Yep. However, it was never a question of whether it would happen but whether it would happen this year, and initially even Magnepan didn't know, because they didn't know how long it would take to improve the 20.1.Still, who was it whose dealer tol... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Elizabeth, if I can fit Tympanis, you can fit 20.7's! In fact, I doubt you'd even score a diagnosis of "insane," once the doctors got a look at my place . . . | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Stringreen, just to clarify, that "gushing" was a quote from Jacob Helibrunn's review. Since I haven't heard the 20.7, I can't say anything about its sound! | |
| Magnepan MMGW/MMGC Receiver and Sub settings? Yes. Just put the left preamp out and right preamp out of your Yamaha into the left and right connections of your REL. And set the left/right speakers to large as recommended. Y adapters would be necessary only if a) you had a separate power amp o... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? I'd say you're completely right. My oil-filled radiator does that, clicks as it expands and contracts. I would *not* tolerate that in an audio amplifier. | |
| A question for Maggie owners Tgrisham,I'd consider not just 1.7's, but used 3.6's. Both should leave you plenty of money for subs, which are pretty much mandatory with the 1.7's. I've heard good things about the Wyred with the Maggies, and they're about the right size, but I ... |
