| Magnepan 3.7 Onemug:I said the difference was negligible and I'll stand by that....at least from the physics aspect. The driver has about the same DCR. So, they use about the same 'diameter wire'.... Take the wire on the regular driver and smush it out..You'll... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 Good.That should take care of future delam problems. Now, just keep 'em out of direct sun and away from smokers. | |
| Magnepan 3.7 All you need to know is that the top speakers at magnepan,the 3.6/7 and the 20.1 are both true ribbon above the 2nd crossover.Below that? Well the difference between QR and planer is negligible, consisting of wire vs 'ribbon' glued to the mylar. T... | |
| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 LD,I don't know where you live, but I didn't have to migrate all the way to LA for my panels.....I very nice, friendly place right here is San Diego was very helpful and easy to deal with. | |
| Which Bel Canto or Mac SS amp works w Mag 3.6? Unless you routinely redline it, I suspect the ASP1000 module is overkill. Max power limit is 30 seconds in any event.My ASP500 moduled amp looks IDENTICAL (exterior) to the W4S and was made, I suspect, by the same folks. I'll trade my 60second fu... | |
| What stands for Mag 3.6's work well? You'll never HEAR the ringing...but it will smear the sound. Real wood has some amazing properties not equaled by MDF or steel, in any combination.If I were required to build metal stands, I'd be tempted to use aluminum. | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's That's 3 votes for MMG. Ld, you are a former timpani owner, eh? Well, you should know you've got your work cut out for you getting large panels into your listening space.I'd set one panel on side of the listening space. Kind of like HUGE open air ... | |
| Which Bel Canto or Mac SS amp works w Mag 3.6? Other ICE amp choices exist.W4S has amps using the same modules, though without whatever 'special' Bel Canto does. Other 'd' choices exist, too. Spectron? PSAudio....on used market. and othersAs for Mac? Integrated? The MA7000 is what?.....250 a s... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 Agreed with DG, mostly.As you go up the Magnepan line, you get 'more'. But, the quality that involves you with panels remains constant. You can ALMOST buy them without formal lengthy audition...if you know you like them at all.Some people simply s... | |
| Are the Bryston 4B SST good with the Mag 3.6 Just wanted to add that I ended up with ICE amps. at 500x2 into 4, they deliver the goods. Such amps are made by W4S and BelCanto, among others. Another 'd' choice would be the Spectron series. | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's If you are going to listen 'near field' at low to moderate levels...than skip the big panels and get some MMGs. Same Magnepan sound and presentation....My listening area is also wacky. 8 walls and a vaulted asymmetrical ceiling. No 2 walls are the... | |
| What stands for Mag 3.6's work well? Just my OPINION, but I'd not opt for a bridgework stand. I just have a mental image of the darn thing ringing like a bell and feeding back thru the MDF.This is the route I'm going to take......which gets rid of the MDF altogether and replaces it w... | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's Square? wrong shape. I think I made that answer in another LD thread.Sorry, man, I simply think you've got the wrong room for the right speaker.You may be able to make MMGs work.....save a BUNCH of money and have full upgrade credit for a year, so... | |
| Are the Bryston 4B SST good with the Mag 3.6 The stores dissing Bryston? What do THEY want to sell you?Magnepan goes to shows with Bryston. What does that tell you?Given my listening habits, I'd be VERY happy at the 4B level or perhaps even the 3B level. Simply couldn't make the $$$ part of ... | |
| what impacts the sound quality more amp or pre-amp "The Alon II speakers are specified as 87 db efficient and are, I think, 4 ohm nominal impedance. This is a difficult load for most tube amplifiers to drive."No mention is made of phase. This would be the deal breaker for tubes, that and wide swin... |
