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 ... 
Advice on a preamp
Any one knows how much does it cost to upgrade from Calypso to Calypso Signature. From what I read, Aesthetix provided such a service. According to an email from Glenn back in June of ’16. It’s usually $2500 to upgrade from a Standard to Signatur...
