You might try a pair of Martin Logan ESLs and a matching Martin Logan Subwoofer... It is just a thought... I am sure I will catch a lot of flak for the idea... Matched with the right system, room and placed properly, they can sure sing...
Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan....
I have been using Magnepan for years in my basement and I am moving to a new space where I need to set up a new listening room in my living room. I am looking for Bookshelves or small tower speakers' recommendations because I won't be able to use my beloved 1.7i Maggies anymore in my new space. I loved the huge wall of sound and the amazing transparency my 1.7i produce. Which speakers can get me close to what Magnepan can do? I listen to a lot of Jazz vinyl and my system consists of: Atoll IN200SE integrated amp, Tube Phono preamp: Rega Planar 3 with Nagaoka cartridge, denafrips dac with all acoustic zen interconnect + Clear Day DSG speaker cables. Thank again for all your recommendations in advance.

Tend to agree with Sunmoon upthread who says ribbons or AMTs might be in your future. Modestly sized towers with ribbon tweets convinced me that I don't need Maggies to get most of what Maggies deliver, along with a couple of good things they're missing (dispersion in particular). That said, I now have three pairs of Harbeths and I'm finding them all impossibly seductive. At some point I'll have to let a pair or two go, but I will have a devil of a time deciding which. So I agree with Direwolf too. |

This listing will expire pretty soon. But you can still contact seller. I had used Avalon Ascent II after using Apogee Duetta. Avalon give very transparent and refined sound. |
I wanted to thank you all for sharing with me your recommendations and thoughts. I ended up purchasing a Scottish loudspeakers by the name of Fyne audio from a great Dealer in CA. He recommended for me to try their small floorstander model f501. I will follow up with my thoughts about the speakers in couple weeks. Thank you again and y’all stay safe! |
