MMGs

A year ago, I bought a pair of MMGs.  In my 13x22 room, placement was a challenge but finally worked it out.

Speakers are powered by an Adcom GFA-555.  The only source is a CD player through a passive pre-amp.

Now I have a little more to spend and would like thoughts on the following options:

1) Mye stands for the MMGs

2) The DWM panel with the MMGs (secondary question - can this panel be placed on a side wall perpendicular to the MMGs?)

3) 1.7s

Open to other out-of-the-box suggestions as well.

The goal is always to attain that Magnepan soundstage.  Musical tastes are female vocalists, jazz, blues.

Yet more cents.

MMG’s stock $599. Resale value predictable. Enjoyment factor predictable. Value? Considerable.

.7’s new @ $1399. Resale value predictable. Enjoyment factor most assuredly predictable. Value? Considerable.

MMG’s "gunned" including cost of speakers. Cost? Resale value? Enjoyment value relative to cost?

My restored MMG’s yielded a great deal of enjoyment, and they’re likely worth about $275-300 now. My .7’s brought my enjoyment to a completely other level.

Of course, return on investment is in the ear of the purchaser/beholder. As always, YMMV.

A former vinyl/addict/purist, I love streaming, current DAC is MyDac. A great little piece of gear at a minimal investment. YMMV

Tonight is a tweeter's in kinda night.  I love how Magnepans enables the  user to exercise her/his option.

Hard to go wrong with the Odyssey Khartago. I used a Cyclops "integrated" (Khartago with volume control) for years with my MMGs and it never broke a sweat. I also used a PS Audio Trio amp (class d) rated 100/200 wpc into 8/4 ohms without issue. Both amps sounded great with the Maggies.

Great Magnepan Tweak!

Tweeters out. No contest. Cost? $0. No shipping or sales tax. Easily reversed at some future date at no additional cost. YMMV
