Magnepan 1.7

You are right - a free upgrade in about five minutes!

I am going to savor this for a while before I flip them from front to back.

Just seems a little too far out for my sensibilities at this point!

One other thing I forgot to mentin is that Magnepan provides plastic washers that can be used to tilt the speakers. They fit between the foot brackets and the speaker itself.

When inserted this has the effect of tilting the speakers slightly back.

I have done this and did not notice a real change in the sound. I have left them that way. My suspicion is that this would have an effect depending on the distance between the listening chair and the speakers.

Man, what a can of worms!
To tilt or not to tilt, that is the question.

You're on your own with this one! Some people may even install the spacers on the TOP screws to tilt 'em forward.

I run straight up/dn but will build some adjustment into my frames......with a proprietary design.

Magfan, or anyone, any opinions about the best approach for Maggie stands?

There seems to be the type that completely frames the maggies or the "Mye" approach which seems to primarily add bracing on the "back" side of the speakers.

I have heard them again but this time with all Krell electronic & CD player with top of the line Mit cable ...

big disapointement ! ... clearly a problem of combination

Krell + Magnepan is not for me
