1.7s have come down in price on the used market. I'd buy them or 1.6 before either of the small ones you mention.
The Magnepan line, now and from the past. I am looking for owners experience.
I have owned the 1.6, 3.6 and the 20. Because of life events I am now using my former bedroom system and looking to get back into one of the current entry level models. I will be starting with using the Magnum Dynalab receiver, Wireworld Eclipse and Gold Eclipse cables, and Oppo cd player and will eventually upgrade to better amplification. I am thinking of the LRS or .7, but I am in hopes of hearing some owners experience. For what it's worth, I listen mainly to more classic Jazz and many female vocals from the fifties to now. Dinah Washington, Ella, Diana Krall, Julia Fordham etc.
Thanks

mijostyn, What you say makes sense, I may wait until I am back in a larger listening space............and more money! |
@johnto -Are you running your 3.7is in the same 12’x15’ room? I have LRSs in the same size room and they sound great. Thought the 1.7s might be a squeeze sonically. How are your Maggies placed in the room? Would love to get your impressions of the 2 different Maggies you used in that room! Congrats on your 3.7is! |
Yes the 3.7i speakers are in the 12 x 15 room. I have them about 18" from the slide wall toed in tweeter 28" and mid bass side 36" from wall behind them. I bought from John at Audio Connection and was afraid they would be to large but he told me they would be fine and I’m glad I listened the sound is just spectacular. The 1.7 was also great but these just give you so much more definition and instrument placement in the soundstage. |
