@danager and @blisshifi: One of the "tricks" with some Maggies (many line source designs, in fact) is to adjust toe-in so that the midrange and tweeter drivers are in phase with each other. In the manual for my Tympani T-IVa's, Magnepan advises how to do it, as that model's crossover does not compensate for lack of driver time-alignment.
What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?
I’m optimizing my seating position and speaker position in my room and need some new musical selections to use as a reference for projecting depth well beyond the speakers. What are your top choices?
Bonus points if they are available on Qobuz or Tidal, though vinyl record suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for posting this! I love atonal, dissonant, and overall, ’angular’ and ’thorny’ sounding classical music, so this sounds right up my alley. I will listen to it more on Bandcamp when I get home tonight. I am familiar with Thirtwell’s other bands and projects, but have never been too impressed. Most likely this has been recorded using something like a Blunlein (or some other XY or AB) mic configuration, which would account for the natural soundstage width and depth. |
@blisshifi check out Chris Isaak. Have three of his albums. All are audiophile quality recordings. |
