Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
Steve Gutenberg described the same thing I’m talking about and he said nothing about changing cables. Heck he’s probably got cables to burn. I’m referring to a particular characteristic of the sound signature of the Maggie’s.

secretguy 430 posts 11-25-2021 1:27pm I have to wonder if the OP has ever experienced live music.      this is too broad a question. Live performances can sound horrible or sound amazing. Yes, but Magnepan’s do not reproduce music that sounds...

mijostyn I appreciate the feedback. The .7's are with a relative who loves them. I'll take your advice and barrow them back. I actually love Maggie's with other music genres more than any of my speakers. thank you

Dynakit PAS-M & Stereo 120 NG vs Schiit Freya Plus, EVO400 and others
Interestingly I have a great friend who's an Altec guru. Those speakers you mentioned sound interesting. I'll give those a look as well. Thanks. 
Dynakit PAS-M & Stereo 120 NG vs Schiit Freya Plus, EVO400 and others
Actually I love the Heresy's. The voice and midrange are beautiful with them. Coupled with the REL T5i's, they produce a more lively sound which is what I really enjoy, particularly with jazz. I was just surprised that the EVO on its own probably ...
