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
Reading comprehension. Get some.
Magnepan, Best midrange?
Other than Horns of course.
A few days ago on another audio forum, someone mentioned *why don't you ck out Magnepan??**
I wrote back, seems magnepan is OOB.
He was a bit upset at my lack on reserach.
SEems Magnepan is still alive and well.
In fact there may bea back log for the LRS
Like months back order
Man , not sure why NO ONE here mentioned magnepan's???
Could this be the speaker I've been searching for some 20 years now??
Sure sensitivity is wayyy off my 92db sens limit.
@ a miserable 86db sens
However, conisdering the panel is 10x's the size of dual W18's + a 6.5 DavidLouis Full Range + a Seas Cresendo, all added up, still is less voicing surafce area vs a the Manepan.
I'll run the W18's as bass, If I need extended highs, I'll add a pair of Cresendos.
WOW and under
$1G
Alott less, like $650!!!!!!!
Good thing here is, I have a Defy7, power to spare for magnepan's demanding current draw.
Here is a YT vid showing how you can modify the magnepan,, I;'ve not watched it yet, will do so today.
This Hifi Guy is the best hifi geek on Youtube.
He knows his stuff and has experiemented in countless speaker designs.
He's da man.
I can 't wait to get my LRS.
And gets even better, Made in the USA,, UNREAL.
If the LRS performs as hoped.
I will make a long series of Youtube videos, putting this speaker on the map, promoting the Maggie as The Worlds Finest speaker.
Ck out all YT reviews of the Magnepan.
Every review gives 2 big thumbs up,
Try to that on any speaker on the market.

jjss493,224 posts07-27-2021 9:58am@murphythecat best only the best will do ... must have the best, not second best, not third best, the BEST ~~~~ WEll I am back My tech geek has blocked my Magnepan Speaker Project, It is officially ~~CANCELED~~~ Yeah i know, i mouthed off how special the mids are. I have a jadis Defy7, which has a reputation for beinga bit touchy with certain speakers. And so taking his strng urging advice,,I had to cancel The LRS Project,.. I just bought a pair of DavidLouis 6.5 , bigger brother to my DL 4 inch. My new Speaker Project will be adding a Crescendo tweeter xossing at say 4khz and running wide open wide band DavidLouis 6.5 the yellow cone style , Which he recommends over his other 2 , for superior female vocals. This set up will be much more Defy friendly. maybe not the best mids, but certainly superior to many big brand name speakers. 500hz-3k hz is the critical hz's in any speaker. WE need to forget rock solid , tight accurate drums/ bass and also highs when reviewing any speaker. What happens in any demo at a dealership, is , we get carried away with deep powerful bass on a nice test cd and glorious super sweet dynamic, sparkely crystal clear highs,, Meanwhile we over look (Not tuned in ) to muddy, fluffy, colored , distorted lower mids - upper mids. Happens every single time. Dealer test quality cds , can get you to sign the dotted line every time. Buyer beware. |
Last week, spoke some time on the horn with Josh over at Madisound about speakers , performance, and fidelity He summed up Seas Excel Magnesium line quite well with the word **Neutral* = Non colored. The only weakness with the Excel line is their rather low sensitivity. Josh also brought up one of Murphys Law,, the one that say, **You can 2 of the 3, but never 3 of 3* Translate ~~You can have rock solid accurate bass,(Scanspeak) + most glorious sweet crystal clear highs (Magnepan ribbon tweeters) ,,,,the caveat will be the sacrifice of something in the midrange fq zone... = The fly in the old soup. For my musical preferences entire midrange section is everything. |
jjss493,224 posts07-27-2021 9:58am@murphythecat best only the best will do ... must have the best, not second best, not third best, the BEST The mids in the Seas W18's, DavidLouis 6.5 , Seas Crescendo, perhaps not near the best,,,but certainly are not prone to crappy midrange. faults and weaknesses which many famously expensive commercial big name speakers suffer from this fatigue syndrone. (Vandersteen, Thiel) Here in this video is exactly what I am refering to. WOW what peaks of distortion,, Fatigue in less than 1 hour. I could not stay in this showroom longer than a few minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4w8BavaC_0 Expensive, famous, popular. yet prove Murphy's Law. 2 of 3, never 3 of 3. |
