| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers Cheap amp and Magnepans shouldn't even be in the same sentence unless you listen at low volumes! What volume do you listen at? If you listen above 75db, I highly suggest a very powerful amp. | |
| Magneplanar Listening Comparison 1.7 vs. 3.7 Speakers Are you planning to setup against the short or long wall? | |
| Magneplanar Listening Comparison 1.7 vs. 3.7 Speakers I think your room’s width is the most limiting factor. My room is a little less than 15’, and I think it’s the limiting factor. The length is 35’ but there’s a kitchen counter than runs across half the width of the room at 24’. The height is 10’. ... | |
| Magneplanar Listening Comparison 1.7 vs. 3.7 Speakers I have. Save yourself a headache and get a pair of Vandersteen Model 2's. Setup properly, and matched with the right electronics, you'll have a much better sounding system. Vandersteens are great, but I don't think the 2 series will match a pro... | |
| Magneplanar Listening Comparison 1.7 vs. 3.7 Speakers I have quite a bit of experience with the 3.7’s versus the 1.7i’s and the 3.7i’s and the 1.7i’s in my own system. I bought the 3.7’s and sent them to be upgraded after 3.5 months and owned the 1.7i’s for a little over a year before that.The 3 seri... | |
| Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers? stick some over the tv and find out - if worth the trouble you can then wall mount them I can't fit GiK diffusors in front of the TV on the stand, nor can I wall mount over 3/4 of the TV because it's partially in front of a window. Do you know o... | |
| Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers? Yeah I'm wondering how much of a difference diffusors would make in place of my TV. I already have four (two on each side) though. | |
| Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers? So I just threw a blanket over my TV to see if it made a difference and didn't really notice any change. | |
| Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers? I have a 65" TV behind my Magnepan 3.7i's, but it's almost 9' behind them. It probably negatively affects the sound to some degree, but sometimes you have to compromise. | |
| Store sound v/s Home sound Most dealers do not have good setups, so I’ve had the opposite experience, i.e., my speakers always sound substantially better in my home versus the store. | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? I just heard the Sevens at Audio Connection and was very impressed. I liked them much better than the flagship Focal and Wilsons that I've heard. Amazing coherence! | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades I hope this isn't true since I just bought one! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’m highly tempted to try the Black fuses now that they’re $85 each but am a little reluctant because the Red fuses did nothing on my Magnepan 1.7i’s. | |
| Advice on a preamp No one suggested a McIntosh or an Audio Research preamp. Is that because of the price or incompatibility? Just curious. I just got an ARC Ref5SE this week and am running it with a Sanders Magtech. My initial impressions are that it's quite a st... | |
| Advice on a preamp Your Sanders Magtech Amp has 100kohm input impedance, a perfect candidate for a passive preamp. So the specs on Sanders' site are incorrect for the Magtech. According to an email from Roger, these are the correct specs:"I designed the Magtech ... |
