Magnepans,tweeters on inside or outside?


This may be a room size/shape and personal taste issue..but,
I would like to hear other Magnepan owners experience and
preference with tweeter panel placement. ...Thanks

For all things Magnepan check out the Magnepan Users Group (MUG) at:

I can assure you someone there has even turned them upside down to see if they sound any better...
Lshreve, thanks. I have had the 1.6, 3.6 and 20's and have
gone to that site...but find it harder to sort through all
the trails of info. AudiogoN does a nice job of making the
info much more accessable. But you're right, I have found
out valuable info from that site on crossover mods..etc.
Take care, Jim
In the right room they set a better soundstage, both width and depth when set to the outside. However, I have found that when the side wall is too close you can compensate for it by placing them on the inside.

Since this is an adjustment which cost nothing you should experiment and hear what sounds best to you.
Magnepan recommends: tweeters on outside for 1.6 but on 3.6 tweeters are to be placed fathest away from ear for phase compensation ( if turned in slightly that equates to inside).
I've tried my 1.6's both ways in a 26.5'x14'3"x7'8" room with the speakers 76" ahead of the front wall and 36" in on either side. Broadest, deepest, and most cohesive soundstage and most precise imaging occur with the tweeters outside in that configuration, with virtually no toe-in.
