Magnepan, Best midrange?

Hello,
Maggies don’t do well on the heavy bass. I know the answer is add a sub or two. I really think the most important thing is crossing them over at 80 hz at -24db. This really only works with separates or an integrated amp with a built in crossover. There are a lot of deals to be had on crossovers and subs. The crossover I like is the JL Audio CR1. It lets you do this with ease. It also does RCA and XLR so you are covered. I know $3k seems like a lot, not when you hear the difference in sound. 

JM Lab/Focal Mezzo Utopia's get my vote.

hshifi, the MiniDSP is a much better crossover than the CR1. It is not that the CR1 is bad, it is now outdated outdated technology. Subs have to be placed differently than the main speaker but the have to match the main speakers in time and phase. You can only perform these corrections in digital. You can also program any crossover point at any order. All planar speakers require subwoofers. They are simply overwhelmed by the physics of the situation. 
clearthinker, you and I are certainly of the same mind when it comes to Tektons. Rock and roll. However, I am not a huge ML fan. They are for people who never listen above 80 dB. As the volume increase the curved diaphragm becomes non-linear and distortion sets in. They start to sound stressed. They also have to cross over to dynamic drivers at a higher frequency, 250 Hz I believe so you wind up with disparate sound projection, line source above 300 Hz or so and point source below. As you move away from the speaker it gets brighter. I think Roger Sanders makes the best Hybrid speaker from an absolute performance perspective but he is of the opinion that a speaker only images at one position and that is all that matters. Everywhere else does not matter. I think this is a better compromise to make than curving the panel to increase dispersion but, I made that compromise for decades, head locked in a vise. I am super glad I do not have to make that compromise any more. Sound Labs has the right solution, small flat panels angled to form a continuous 45 degree array. They are better at projecting the third dimension than any other speaker I have heard and only two others ever got close, Apogee Divas driven by Krell amps and Dick Sequerra Pyramid Metronomes powered by Threshold amps. This is of course "in my experience" which was pretty comprehensive.... 40 years ago. It is impossible today to keep up with everything. 

Some short attention span members seem to think this is me. This is not me. This is another guy. https://youtu.be/7RxRTFx6Cd0?t=348

I’m hoping for further news on the "Magnepan 30.7 for Condos" - bass integration impressions were very positive:
