I think I can made them work in my existing listening room, if not, I think they're going to be good enough to justify building a bigger room.

Ohhh... sounds like you need a major challenge/project :cool: We are dying to be witness to the process.

For me it'd be the cost of the speakers plus the construction costs... knocking down a couple walls etc. to fit'em inside. Maybe I could convert my garage to a listening room?

Actually the bass panels will prolly be best behind the mains so not really necessarily any more width
will be needed..

you're not helping... :D

I'll definitely be wanting to have a look see at these 30.7s... The 20.7s are and remain simply amazing for me. But I'm the one who said he'd never replace the ART Monos. :|:lol::rolleyes:
 
Long time Maggie fan here. I've owned hmmm, only 4 different ones over the years starting with T-4s. Couple of thoughts, absolutely no advantage to biwire with 6 db crossover slopes. There is a myth out there that bigger Maggies REQUIRE more power, my experience would say the opposite. And Finally, with separate unhinged panels, the 30.7 will be much easier to place and work in more rooms than single panels like the 20.7.

I'm 99% on picking up a pair of 30.7s, I have what should be a perfect amp partner sitting collecting dust, the mighty Gryphon Diablo 300.

From what I'm hearing will be early next year before we can get this show on the road........
 
I'm excited to hear the 30.7. I've always been a big fan of the 20.7. I would imagine that Overture will have a pair in one of their listening rooms.

I wonder if the tweeter and midrange are the same size as the current 20.7.
If so, then I wonder if a 20.7 plus a couple of subs would be equivalent.

I believe there are differences.

I've ran the 20.7's in my home with and without subs. I've listened to the new 30.7 in a familiar system that I setup the analog front-end in. They are not the same and a pair of subs on the 20.7 will not equal the 30.7.

The 30.7 is a good ways ahead of the 20.7 (not a bad speaker in its own right) across the frequency spectrum.

Wow; 35 x 17 x 12 foot room... makes my 2 channel room look like a shoe box...

Double wow; that was a woman reviewing? Cool!

A home concert hall!

Even better than the 20.7’s? The 30.7’s are the only speakers I lust for beyond the ones I already own.

While $30K is not little money, in HE audio, this price is somewhat modest. If the 30.7s are as good as the initial impressions indicate, Magnepan will sell a lot of them. Just need the big room and powerful amp.

Can't wait to hear them!

I don't know about the "big room," TAS's HP had his IRS/T-1D system in this room:

Will Magnepan be demonstrating the 30.7 at the Expona show in Chicago in April?
