And I use ASC traps in the small room with the Maggies, and the bass pitch definition is better in some ways than my Sennheiser 600 headphones...that says a lot!! The main thing they need is the ASC Frescoes right behind them and just inside their spacing, against the wall. Turn the midrange diffusor side toward the wall, so the absorbative side faces the back of the speaker. Very awesome indeed...
Magnepan break-in?
Hello! Can some Magnepan owners share some of their thoughts with me? I just purchased a set of 1.6QR's (actually, purchased them 4 months ago and just got them) and want to know what to expect from them. I haven't lived with dipoles for many years but know how critical their setup can be. My question is how will the sound change over time and how long does the "transformation" take? I would describe the initial sound as being somewhat "hard" and analytical, especially in the lower treble. I do not think my associated equipment is causing what I'm hearing and hope that the Maggies just need some break-in time. Should I give them some time to break-in or am I hearing them as they sound? Thanks in advance for your insight. Mike
