| Magnepan needs your help I was thinking you could get some *real* slam by adding a couple of those GR Research subs. :-) | |
| Magnepan needs your help They already know how they sound and several reviewers have already listened and confirmed that it equals the sonics of the 30.7. Here's the second report and it sounds killer:https://www.hifiplus.com/articles/coming-soon-maybe-magnepans-compact-3... | |
| Magnepan needs your help That's a great idea. But how do you know what to do without measurements? Or are you just helping them with the automated process? | |
| Magnepan needs your help BTW, for those who haven't heard about the new concept, it's what Wendell calls a "30.7 for Condos" -- two 12" wide panels with dipole woofers. Here's the writeup in TAS: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/magnepan-doubles-down/ And the a... | |
| Magnepan needs your help Last I spoke to Wendell, he was planning to swing west after the East Coast tour. Ripeness is all! | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? Agree with the Magnepan 30.7. But as others say, it depends on what your priorities are. The Maggies excel on acoustical music, they have a spooky realism to them. Even my old Tympani IVa’s can be jaw-droppingly realistic (talk about bargains -- m... | |
| LRS order to shipping time Latest word from Magnepan, lead time is probably 4-6 weeks. | |
| LRS order to shipping time Heard back from Magnepan, and they confirmed that the lead time is longer than they'd estimated, but said it's shorter than lead time on the 30.7's -- so at least there's some comfort in not spending $30,000! :-)I only know one person who's gotten... | |
| Quad 2912 vs Martin Logan ESL 11a I'd vote for the Quads. ML's always sound too bright to me and a bit tizzy, and the bass doesn't match the speed of the stats. But of course your own ears have to be the judge! | |
| Laser measurement for speaker position Great find. I use a laser measure for the same purpose and I agree it's really useful, but it was more expensive than this one.To those who are objecting that a fraction of an inch doesn't matter, that's probably true, but getting things reasonabl... | |
| Adding Bass To Maggie’s - the DWM in parallel!! That's strange -- the Krells are supposed to be able to drive really low impedances! I think I'd call Wendell Diller at Magnepan and explain the problem. Otherwise, I think any decent Class A/B amp that can put out a couple hundred watts into 4 oh... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Mijostyn, great summary. One quibble, line sources fall of as 1/R, and point sources as 1/R^2. Also, the full length Maggie lines act more as line sources in the bass, though not perfectly because of the way the resonances are distributed (lowest ... | |
| LRS order to shipping time Yeah, what with the rave reviews and online comments I think they've been overwhelmed with orders. I emailed Wendell Diller at Magnepan to see if he can give us a heads up on the current lead time.Jetter, I heard them at AXPONA and all I can say i... | |

| Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality kingbarbuda, Grant just posted a sketch of his new LRS/MMG stands on the Planar Asylum: https://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=mug&m=236523 His idea is to make them more economical so that they don’t cost as much as the speakers.Agree that t... |
