| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? To the OP,I just thought of a real-world, objective not subjective, potential disadvantage to Magnepans- cats sometimes will treat them as scratching "posts." I don't know if that has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread or if you have cats. :) | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? So much seemingly endless hyperbole. Meanwhile, Magnepan- a great American speaker company, survives and thrives in the rarified world of high-end audio, with its innumerable variations in the "home listening experience" and listeners. | |

| MMGs Two more cents:Prior to my .7's, I sometimes used a pair of inexpensive Pioneer Andrew Jones 8" powered subs with the MMG's. That system is one heck of a musical return on investment. The subs are packed away now because I'm happy with the bass ... | |
| MMGs "ps, how’d you characterize the differences between the MMG and the .7? Just curious."As many have said, the MMG’s are one heck of a speaker for the money and otherwise. I surely agree. The same can be said for the .7’s, which, for me, are a consi... | |
| MMGs Department of 2 Cents. I just replaced MMG’s with .7’s and am thrilled, stoked, thankful, and pretty much blown away, etc. My dedicated listening room is small. 11’ wide x 13’ long with most of the rear wall open to the LR. I expected an improveme... | |

I now, finally, "get it" about OHMs. After many months of listening to Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors M’s and a pair of Magnepan MMGs, I have some signific... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Big Buck Fuses- love 'em or leave 'em. With that closet, but tone deaf, audiofool- a Mr. T. Rump on the scene, there are far more pressing issues. | |
