Magnepan 3.7i vs 20.7

I have an amazing dealer. I have a new pair of Legacy Focus SE to demo. I was told keep them for a month or so. See how you like them! Unboxing tonight! The Magnepan thing is like pulling teeth. I think I may give up on them. Stay tuned!

Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie…LOL

That is really interesting on your sub placement. Must be nice to have so much flexibility with where you can locate them.


ā€œMaggie… I wish I’d…never seen your faceā€
(OP: wait for them, they’ll be worth it)

My meeting with the 20.7 Maggie’s is FINALLY set up for tomorrow!!

Single guy setup with no WAF concerns. However I change the setup when guests show up. The subs on top of the traps end up looking like a stack of subs.

When other non audiophile folks arrive I end up shoving the maggie’s towards the side of the walls and the subs go on the floor and act like end tables. An upgrade of audiorack is on order.

Hey I see my old dorm and the bridge I biked, walked or skated across, oh, about 10,000 times! Beautiful setup. Do your neighbors ever complain about the music?

Concrete walls and floors so no complaints unless drunk women in high heels are dancing.

Drunk people dancing around HiFi can be scary anyway :slight_smile:

I have a warning track in front of my Maggies.

If I had some I’d have barbed wire at least, possibly guard dogs too :wink:
(I’ve seen too many nice bits of kit trashed by drunken dancing people, admittedly at gigs, rather than at house parties)

I have spent many hours enjoying music in that room. Sometimes I complain about the volume. lol

The wait is over. I FINALLY got the 20.7 home! I have yet to get help to bring them inside from garage to upstairs. So My question now is. Stands! MYE Stands or Sound Anchors?

Mye.

Well I’d just listen. :). If in doubt I’d go Mye. Go to the planar asylum on audioasylum.com. Grant Vandermye hangs out there and there are plenty of testimonials.

Oh btw - congrats. U need two people to get them in the house and the room for sure. Not sure if u bought used or new - but I had to screw in the ribbon tweets and the stands. Take your time. When I go mine hooked up - I was like …uhhhh do I need a different amp? I didn’t - it was just placement and break in. Let us know how it goes and if you are with or without - if I recall - your jlaudio subs.

I’d be waking the neighbors! Just going door to door until someone helped me :stuck_out_tongue:
Congrats!

Anyone ever use SILNOTE AUDIO on Maggies? Poseidon Signature II Master Reference Speaker Cable

I believe I used Silnote on my 3.7s. I’ll have to take a look… yup.

Currently using VeraStarr ribbon cables and love them.

I am trying to do a deal on some MG Audio Planus IV
