Spades or Bananas on you Cary 500's
I may just go with bananas then. I just ordered a pair of 20.7's!!! which means I have to switch to single wire runs (using bi-wires on my 3.6's). Leaning towards a set of JPS Labs SuperConductor 3's; anyone tried this speaker wire? I am already u... 
It's May, Has Anyone Actually Gotten a 20.7 Yet?
Here is his longer review on the 20.7's.http://www.AudioAsylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=mug&m=190266 
It's May, Has Anyone Actually Gotten a 20.7 Yet?
Good thread on the 20.7's and pictures too. Now we need a full report from the new owner. I guess that he is still 'breaking-in' the new 20.7's. 
Speaker Cable Different for 8ohm vs 4ohm
Al,Where can I find an impedance curve graph for Magnepan 3.6's? I 'Googled' this but could not locate any graphs. 
what is the best sounding speakers for under 5000.
A nice pair of used Magnepan 3.6's; but, you need a really good quality SS muscle amp to drive them properly and get stellar sound... 
Speaker Cable Different for 8ohm vs 4ohm
Thank you for excellent information. I am using Magnepan 3.6's at the moment with six foot runs of DH Labs Silver Sonic Q-10 Signature biwires. The Q-10's use one run of smaller wire for the tweeter/midrange and a heavier run(12gauge I think) for ... 
Speaker Cable Different for 8ohm vs 4ohm
So, what values of resistance and inductance put a speaker cable in the 'low' category. What measured value should you look for? Also, does that mean good 12 guage is better than a good 14 guage when connecting to a 4 ohm speaker? 
The New Cary SA 500.1 How Good?
Yes; but not with Cary. I use a pair of VTL EL34 mono blocks for my Khorns. I use the older version of the Cary 500 on Magnepan 3.6's.What I want to know how does the old version of the Cary 500 compare to the SA 500.1... 
Difference in Demands on Amps
Is it possible to get the impedance curves for the 20.1's and 3.6's? 
Difference in Demands on Amps
My question didn't come out quite right; what I meant to ask, is there a difference between the load that a 20.1 or 20.7 would put on a set of amps vs. a pair of Magnepan 3.6's? Are the 20's a significantly more demanding load than 3.6's? 
Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
Called Magnepan today and asked when 20.7's would most likely hit showroom floors; answer, approx. one more month... 
Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
"Available" but not sure a dealer actually has these yet... Aynone know of an actual Magnepan dealer that has a set of 20.7's? 
Magnepan 3.7
Gentlemen, where are you getting to hear/audition the 20.1's vs the new 3.7's? My local dealer has a new pair of 3.7's but no 20's so I can't make that comparison. Is there a dealer in the southeast that has both? 
Hardwood floors in basement music room?
I have a 17.5w x 26L x 9h dedicated basement room and my flooring is heavy carpet and pad over concrete. When I built the room I decided to use the 2x2 drop ceiling; I used a top quality ceiling tile. End result was that the room was too 'dead' ov... 
Maggie speakers and bi-amping
Many users have that same feeling, so it seems odd to me that Magnepan choose to disable that option in the "7" series.
