Re: Magnepan owners, please tell me what you have and amplifier(s) you use ...
I use the following equipment:
Magnepan 3.7i speakers
Mit and Silver speaker Cable (Moving to Audiance FrontRow)
Classe CA2200
Audio Envy Balanced interconnects
Cocktailaudio X45Pro
While I have a Classe Preamp, I have removed it from the system in favor of going directly from the X45Pro to the amp.
I have audiophile friends who are amazed with the simplicity and flexibility of the system. I purchased the X45Pro online - it is somewhat difficult to find an American dealer.
I am glad to answer questions for anyone who wishes to reach out.

Re: Magnepan owners, please tell me what you have and amplifier(s) you use ...
I have an preamplifier Jeff Rowland and an amplifier Jeff Rowland with Magnepan 3.7i.
After connected Hijiri Nagomi power cable on preamplifier and Furutech Nanoflux NCF on my amplifier, I don't recognise my system. I win on dynamic and tonal voice.
They are very expensive but you can hear the difference without doubt .
So , because I have very poor DIY power cable on all my sources, I will change them piece by piece.

I recently got a MBL that is about 10 years old. I really like it with my Maggie's.

Re: Magnepan owners, please tell me what you have and amplifier(s) you use ...
If you can find a used Bryston SST2 amp, any of them should drive your Maggies beautifully.
A pair of 28SST2 amps and a Maggie 20.7’s would be up there on my crazy good value high end system list.
I owned 5 pairs of Maggies and drove them with everything from Carver to McIntosh to Bryston to Pass to Classe and many in between.My Systems: http://www.audioshark.org/showthread...481#post158481

I think the Pass Labs X Series (Class AB) and more powerful (at least 100 watts) Pass XA Series (Class A) sound wonderful with the bigger Maggie’s (3.7i, 20.7 and 30.7).

Re: Magnepan owners, please tell me what you have and amplifier(s) you use ...
I think the MBL amp that I purchased pre-owned is about as good as I have heard with my little Maggie's.

Re: Magnepan owners, please tell me what you have and amplifier(s) you use ...
I own the Bob Carver 350 Raven amps. They are rated at 350 RMS at 8 ohms and 400 at 4 ohms.
Will these be ok to use driving either the 3.7i or the 20.7 ?
Thank you,
ozzy

Re: Magnepan owners, please tell me what you have and amplifier(s) you use ...
I can now comfortably comment in this thread since I have "worthy" amps powering my 1.7i's...
And that would be a mint pair of Odyssey Audio Stratos monoblock amps. A huge upgrade in every way over the Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2 I was using.

I own the Bob Carver 350 Raven amps. (Tube Amps) They are rated at 350 RMS at 8 ohms and 400 at 4 ohms.
Will these be ok to use driving either the 3.7i or the 20.7 ?
I am concerned since they are tube amps and may not have enough of the right type of power for Planar speakers.
Thank you,

Re: Magnepan owners, please tell me what you have and amplifier(s) you use ...
Great setup, I had the 1.7i and 1.7 20.1 etc.. I just have had too many speakers in my house, got rid of Magnepan and then went into a store about 8 months ago, and heard the LRS+ easier speaker to move around and I was shocked on how good this sounded! One word for me: "Astonishing" I hooked them up to everything I have Luxman 509X, some Musical Fidelity Monoblocs, and Belles Monoblocs and even the Belles Aria. Heck last night I hooked them up to a second system Int. Amp a Mission 778x and was shocked on how good they sounded. I also own Sonus Faber Serafino's, Dynaudio's C2 Platinum's along with some Joseph Audio speakers. Still shock and almost mystified on how good these sound.DSC_2790.JPG

Just an updated pic. Didn't want you guys to think I'm running around powering my system with extension cords. LOL
