| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I have had Magnepan MGIIIa speaker for years. I biamp them with a pair of bryston 3Bs. They are light on bass, but I really do not car about strong bass. The bass they have is very clear and not muddy. You need patience in moving them around..I ... | |

| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus Loudest concert I attended was The Who at the International Ampitheater in Chicago in 1980; my rings rang to the next day. Loudest event, Drag Racing nationals at Chicagoland Speedway...I wore molded earplugs for that event, but you could feel t... | |

| To ROON or not to ROON ? I have had Roon for about a year and a half...I resisted due to not wanting another subscription...but it is by far the best system I have tried. I dont care about extra services, I just use it for my own (10,000 track) library. It really makes it... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives Before you ditch the Maggies...please check on placement. I would say at least 2 feet from the back wall and use a measuing tape to get the distance of each exact. I have had MGIIs and currently MGIIIa models...setup is critical. I biamp mine wit... | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp I am using two Bryston 3B amps to biamp similar to as you propose but horizontal biamp. I use a Bryston 10B crossover. Per the directions in the Magnepan manual (I have IIIa Maggies), i do not use the crossover boxes and changed the jumpers on the... | |
