Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
May I ask what amp etc you drove them with?   
Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies?
I used the Parasound A23 Halo with my 1.7 Maggie’s And was blown away at how much power it had. More than enough power on tap. Bass sounded super clean, tight and controlled. I used an Aretha tube preamp. The newer A23+ has even more power than ol...

How to fuse bypass in Magnepan 1.7i
Interesting. Does anyone have photos of what this all looks like before and after? Difficult to visualize what’s going on here.  
Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?
Thanks guys. Wow  
Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?
I thought all Maggie’s basically had ribbon tweeters. Am I missing something?  
Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?
p. 9 of the PDF instruction manual on the .7 only appears to attenuate the top end  so it’s more rolled off. I don’t want that. I want the opposite. I want more treble.   
Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?

Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
Steve Gutenberg described the same thing I’m talking about and he said nothing about changing cables. Heck he’s probably got cables to burn. I’m referring to a particular characteristic of the sound signature of the Maggie’s.   
Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
I find it very difficult to believe cables can make that much difference.

Regardless thank you all for your thoughts and comments.

secretguy 430 posts 11-25-2021 1:27pm I have to wonder if the OP has ever experienced live music.      this is too broad a question. Live performances can sound horrible or sound amazing. Yes, but Magnepan’s do not reproduce music that sounds...
