I can't speak to the 30.7s, which should be awesome, but my love affair with maggies ended when I owned 3.5Rs for a few frustrating years. In my large room I had to add subs.

| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? With almost a week in use, and a wide variety of favorite music spun, the biggest issue I have is that it is doing it's job too well. In part, due to the lack of overdesign, and quality resistors, it ruthlessly exposes when recordings are subpar. ... | |
