I've been curious as well.
I had IIIs about 15 years ago. They were magnificent.
Maggie 1.7i vs 1.7 (what was changed??)
anyone know, factually? wendell seems rather coy about disclosing, which is rather disappointing
i got my set of 1.7i’s (on magna risers) - these modern versions are just terrific
it has been since 1990 that I have had maggies (3a’s back then), so nice, so much fun, so wonderful to be listening to them again (and probably set up right this time around, in a proper room!! 😆)
anyhow, anyone know what was changed going to the ’i’ model? there is mention of crossover improvements as i research the topic... but nothing specific or concrete

@jjss49 Which of your amplifiers are you using to drive the 1.7is? |
@mesch happy new year! i will be working through the stable over the next little while, just got the speakers yesterday pass int150 and hegel h190 so far (the no-brainer good matches), both are really terrific, if with slightly different palettes will try hegel h20, pass xa25, odyssey stratos, usher ref 1.5, belles sa30 in due course, then the gan amps, then arc tubes |
@jjss49 I have always wanted to try Maggies. My room size is limiting however in the new room I might try the small maggies (forget model) for near field listening. Wonder if the XA25 would have enough power for them. Getting very close to moving my system to the new digs. Sounds like you will be busy given the many amplifiers. |
