Magnepan mmg vs .7 . Real world experience opinions requested

randy-11,
Thanks very much for the link, sir.  I did read that review some time ago but had forgotten the section in which Ms. Mullins made the comparison.

It's time for me to go audition a pair of .7s    :)

Old thread, I realize. However, I now have a pair of .7’s and they are the better speaker. Having said that, I could happily live with my old MMGs, giving up some bass response and detail, soundstage width and height.
One more observation: both speakers get along very well with  my mono tube amps.

"Thanks for update. How do they sound at low volume?"
My tube amps underwent a major upgrade recently, one of the goals was to enhance low volume speaker performance, among other things.

The .7's sound pretty darn amazing at low volume now.  And I mean LOW.  At moderate volume, the improvement over the "old amps"  (which were excellent)  is extraordinary.  The most apt single word for the sound I'm hearing now is "effortless."  

I've got a pair of Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M's which I'll hook up in a week or so.  

The amps are MFA M120's which I've had for many years and which have undergone one moderate, and now a major upgrade. Also, FYI, my preamp is a highly-upgraded MFA Luminescence.

Update:
I added a pair of Magnepan DWM bass panels.  I run the panels and mains off the amps, meaning I don't use the "high out" on the panels.

The bass panels are placed about a foot in front of the .7's and against the side walls.  Works great for me. Sound is much fuller and the DWM's blend seamlessly.
