Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP
by the way after hearing the 1.7's twice i longed for my just sold IIIa's. also, i too find the 1.7's bright. owners can cap the highs down w/provided resistors, tho it seems like you're defeating the exquisite highs maggies are known to reproduce... 
reference 3a MM decapo ia or magnepan 1.7?
ty rebbi,was hoping to go see len's place sometime. he's always been nice & informative on the phone. sadly, i missed out on a great deal he had a few months ago on mg 3.6's. 
Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 - The smart choice?
p.s. now i'd like to find that hypothetical deal for some used maggies. i realize it will cost me more than i could justify paying but, as i said, i was truly wondering about the wisdom in spending basically double the price of 6's for 7's. ty eve...

couldn't help it went w/the 3.7's. by the way have any of you felt the 1.7's sounded a little peaky on the quasi ribbons as opposed to the full ribbons on the 3.6 or 3.7? 
reference 3a MM decapo ia or magnepan 1.7?

solution: sell me your speakers for a great price!check the date of build on your speakers. i was told by a dealer that there were problems with his original 2011 1.7 demos, but no problems with subsequent sales w/newer panels. i imagine he sold t... 
alternative to maggies?
i ended up cutting out centers of clear rubberized carpet runners & placing them upside down surrounding the speaker base - teats up, to discourage anything with barefeet getting too close to them. sadly or happily, unsure as yet, i sold the s... 
Ideas on speaker like Magnepan but with high WAF
good price for a speaker many like (ML's) but i do not know if i would call their sound at all like the presentation of maggies. i find the martin logans i have heard far more 2D than the 3D of maggies & the logans have a narrower sweet spot. ... 
reference 3a MM decapo ia or magnepan 1.7?
good personal info on the LSA's tho i realize i haven't heard them or the decapos. how about reference 3a's compared to emerald physics cs3 (w/or w/o sub) or cs 2.3's. How do i find someone near the monterey bay area where i can listen to the refe...
