I'm driving mine with a Classe CA-300 amp and McIntosh MC2300 preamp through MIT interconnects and speaker cables. They are not bright to me, nor were they when I had a Meridian 502 preamp in there. As a matter of fact, when I first got them I thought they were not bright enough. Over the months, however, I have found that on female and male vocals, and especially choral works, these are the most realistic and natural sounding speakers I have ever owned. I have a Paradigm subwoofer with them as well, crossed over at about 40 Hz, and this may help to balance the overall sound as well. Just a thought.
Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP
I just bought a used 6 month old Magnepan 1.7 and hooked them to my old system, which consists on a Deonon 2900 Universal player, Emotiva USP Preamp and Rotel 1080 power amp and use anticables for speaker connections, and monster cables for interconnects.
The sound is too bright for me, I used the provide 1 ohm resisters, still too bright, any recommendations.
