Magnepan 3.7 and Nuforce Reference 18
Brrgrr,Someone on another group said he put dryer fabric softener sheets under his Maggies, and that his cats wouldn't go near them. 
Is there a perfect speaker?
You forgot fits in your pocket. :-) 
Is there a perfect speaker?
Michaelkingdom,I know what you're talking about. I've always tried to choose speakers that do justice to the range that I listen to, mostly classical, rock, and home theater. And I've found that some speakers are better than others at meeting my p... 
Maggie 3.7s + TriCenter in HT - is the impact ther
Hey, congrats! I've been hearing great things about the DWM.The problem with Tri-Center I think is that very few have had an opportunity to hear it. Add to that the expense, and the reluctance of some audiophiles to leave the analog domain, plus t... 
Is there a perfect speaker?
The only thing I'd add to what's been said is that as you move up the price scale, you're more likely to find speakers that do many things well, as opposed to just some. But even at that level, there are compromises, in part because technology is ... 
Maggie 3.7s + TriCenter in HT - is the impact ther
Gordon, I've used two models of Maggies for music and home theater, and spent several hours listening to the tri-center with 3.7's at Magnepan.My first job was in motion picture audio, and spent many hours listening to original elements in the scr... 
Maggie 3.7 with Infinite Baffle DIY Sub
Here's a site that's devoted to IB sub projects:http://home.comcast.net/~infinitelybaffled/ 
Old vs New Magnepan 1.7 vs Tympani IV
Cwlondon,I don't think there's any one way to upgrade the crossovers. The best results, as with any speaker, will be with bi- or tri-amping. Many advantages -- you can use the best components, the amplifier is always connected directly to the load... 
New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM
Harri, absolutely. I wasn't suggesting otherwise, just pointing out that they can be hidden behind furniture (per Magnepan). They can even be inside it. But they do have to be located on the speaker arc, 12" closer. 
New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM
Harri, the DWM's are small and can be hidden behind or in furniture. They're typically used against a side wall. Of course, this won't work out in every room. 
New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM
Bbro,The DWM's are usually used against a side wall or another barrier and that provides significant bass reinforcement. Acoustically, it doubles with the width of the baffle, which lowers Fequal, the point at which the 6 dB/octave dipole rolloff ... 
New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM
I gather they were quite a hit. Magnepan says they've had a flood of orders since the show. 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Wow, that has to be the bargain of the century! 
Anything better than 1.7 Maggies
Man, I've been discussing levels on two groups for the last two days and I'm getting a bit fatigued. :-) I guess I'd say that in my experience, the Tympanis will rock, but the MMG's won't, not without a sub, anyway. On classical, the MMG's can sou... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Jeff, I've no argument with Peter Gunn's craftsmanship and a lot of people speak highly of his work, but much of what he aays about the 1.7's on his site is manifestly untrue. I'm not talking about his opinion of their sound, though it's a minorit...
