I owned Magnepan 3.7’s and have listened extensively to the Magnepan 20.7’s and 30.7’s. I have always been impressed with their speed, transparency and the wall of sound that they produce. One of the best systems I ever listened to consisted of the 3.7’s driven with Cary tube components.

My challenge was replicating the glorious sound I heard at my dealer in my own listening room. I have found that the Magnepan’s love space around them. Too close to the front or side wall or the ceiling and the sound quality suffers. Careful setup, room treatments and a decent sized room are the keys to success.

A maggie fan of the 3.7 , not so of the bigger models , a pr of 3.7’s carefully matched to stacked subs are similar in pricing to a pr of 20.7 and will surpass them handsomely ..

I don't have the room for larger models. Wife acceptance factor was a concern. The two way Maggie's with a pair of Rythmik subs is really nice in my room and the Mc seems to be a really good match!

Thank you Mike.

The Hegel H590 is a contender as well as one of the new Parasound amps if I really want to go crazy. That’s a long way off.

It’ll probably take up to 2 months for delivery of the LRS.

I’m not sure where I’ll go with this.

I’ve also been reading lately about the GT Audioworks planar speakers. I heard them many years ago and it was impressive. I’ll start a new thread on them.

Don't they make one speaker ?
 
My brother has 20.7s driven by D’Agostino Progression mono amps. This is very special combination.

I know someone who has Pass XA-100.5’s paired with the Magnepan 20.7’s. Also an outstanding combination.

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.

A friend has same amplifier and search to change it. He has Magnepan 3.7.
I don't know why.
I think it's a bad idea.

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.
