Guys. I listened to them thoroughly, hooked to fm acoustic pre amp, esoteric sacd and esoteric solid state amp (80watt).. They have great details and reference quality dinamic. Especially the upper octave, they shine through various genre of musics. However, I found their bottom octave is a little compressed and metalic and edgy(a little too planar or too digital like bass sound).. However, I must admit they produce great transient and dark background, they also were very precise in producing all kind of musical instruments, they are not perfect, but for the money involved, they are wonderful and must be taken into consideration for those looking for quality speakers within the price range..cheers
How do the Magnepan 1.7's sound
Anybody hear these at CES and can comment on the sound quality?
