How do the Magnepan 1.7's sound

Hey 605hifi, did you hear the 1.7s at CES or elsewhere?

Butt kidding in high end audio! Huhm, I mean butt kissing, does that really go on?

Jonathan Valin from "The Absolute Sound" seem to like them pretty well too.

1.7 mini review

Thanks for the link, James63. I imagine just putting the regular 1.6s into an aluminum frame would give an improvement in sound. I used to own 1.6s five or six years ago and would be very interested in hearing the 1.7s.

Nope, I heard them at the T.H.E. Show. Stood in line at the end of the hall and waited my turn like everyone else. Hey, they sounded good but they certainly weren't "Stand outs". I wasnt the only one who thought so either. When I left I overheard a dealer talking with his buddies saying he expected more. I am not bad mouthing them by any means. they were good, but only good in my opinion
