Grey with cherry. I live on Maui, lots of trade winds, white doesn’t fare well with the dust. The cherry is a very narrow strip. The look is essentially all speaker cloth, which is the least flattering part of any speaker. The MK7 Multi Riser gets the LRS a full 6” off the ground. Excellent sonic improvement.

I’m on for grey with natural finish.

Had long listening session tonight. Like to up my MagnaRiser improvement estimate to 40 to 50%. The LRS need stands such as these. They’ve taken a really good speaker and made it a really, really, really good speaker. Remarkable.

I have the Multi-Riser model too, on my .7s, and also set up for 6” rise (I had to fish an old right-angle screwdriver out of the tool chest to get to those screws). Great improvement on already amazing speakers.

Thanks for the heads up for the hard to get at screw—I have an offset driver “somewhere” - - probably the hardware store!

Got the email! LRS’s will arrive Thursday afternoon. Soon the fun begins!

I ordered mine in August 2020 and was told they’d arrive by the beginning of January. The box showed up 9 weeks later unannounced, middle of October.
Nice, I will note that I got an email from UPS saying they were to be delivered, because I have a business acct with them. Nothing from Magnepan themselves so they would also be unannounced if not for that.
That’s what Eric, at Magnepan, told me would happen—and/or you see charge on your credit card statement.
The LRS’s arrived yesterday afternoon. Amazed that the packaging survived UPS but they were undamaged even though the box was a mess. They need to look at the way PS Audio ships their stuff.
So they were relatively easy to set up and tie the subs in which I was over prepared for since I expected difficulty. It’s also amazing how little a change in placement changes the sound. I found the sweet spot 38" from the back wall, leaned back, tweeters to the outside, and no toe in.
Sound is remarkable out of the box and with now about 14hrs on them I am quite impressed. Imaging is impressive, deep and wide soundstage. Guttenberg told me to give them 50hrs before making any real decisions so I’ll let them play for now and see where they go.
Hard to believe they are only $650 US, even if I stay with the Focals I can’t imagine sending them back just to have as a change of pace or for a second system.

Congratulations! Planar speakers excel in imaging, be they ribbon or electrostatic 
Enjoy.

+1 on this.
I’m discovering this to be a thing with not only my Maggies, but my Harbeths as well. Toe-in seemed to be the default, but I’m finding that there’s a wider soundstage with no loss of detail when I straighten things up.
Bottom line: there are no absolutes.

I agree with your statement about absolutes. In my case, with .7s, my tweeters are outside, and I toe the panels in just enough to keep the tweeter edge of the panel an inch farther from my head than the woofer edge (instructions say to make sure the tweeters are never closer to your ears than the rest of the speaker). That makes the panels point to a convergence point somewhere behind the listening chair. And it works a treat, as they say. But I would never tell anyone else that’s the only way to listen to these things.
the funniest thing on so many audio sites, when users post photos of their systems or listening spaces, there are always a bunch of pundits commenting on placement of this or that, when the person posting the photo hasn’t asked for advice.
“I think your speakers are too close to the wall”
“I might suggest toeing your speakers in three more degrees”
“I would move that dog toy away from the subwoofer”
Everyone’s an expert on everyone else’s system!

Thanks for sharing all of that. Good stuff. My LRS’s should be here in late May/early June.
