Album Recommendations for Magnepans


I just got a new pair of Magnepan .7's to go with a Rogue Pharaoh and Rel T7.  I'm interested in hearing what your favorite albums to listen on Magnepans are.

Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book album comes to mind. One of the Maggies greatest strengths are their punchy mid-and-upper-bass (most Maggies don’t play the 20Hz-40Hz bottom octave of deep bass), which this album is full of. Stevie plays drums on the album by the way, and is an interesting player. In Classical, there is an album on Nonesuch entitled Percussion Music which benefits from the Maggie abilities.

You mention that you are interested in learning about Orchestra(l) music.  You also mention that you are "not sure it would sound good on Maggies".  Good for you for wanting to expand your musical horizons including Classical music.  Not sure why you think Maggies would not do Orchestral music well since that genre is precisely what they do best, imo.  With their unusually natural midrange and fantastic soundstaging (with proper placement) they are great speakers for Orchestral music.  Try the Beethoven symphonies with Carlos Kleibet conducting the Vienna Philharmonic, or the Bela Bartok "Concerto For Orchestra" with Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony. You also mention that you like Dave Brubeck.  Something musically analogous to that kind of "chamber jazz" that you may like is the Bach "Flute Sonatas" with William Bennett on flute.  
Ray Charles “The Genius of Ray Charles”.

Also there are two ways to talk about an album. One is the traditional term “album” which refers to a record album that is played on a turntable. The second way of interpreting album is the generic way of referring to the recording offered as “album”. In which case there is a record album, a Cd, perhaps a SACD, digital download or MQA version of album that is streamed. I have listened to the MQA version and it is FANTASTIC.
