2. speakers
  3. 170463-162762

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

@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.

@johnto - That's encouraging to know! I got the LRS to experience a panel speaker.  Never had a chance to audition them but it's been a year and a half and I really like them. 
Got me really curious about the larger models.

I responded to your PM. Thank you!
