I get that some of you guys find his over enthusiasm for certain aspects of audio irritating. But there will alwsys be every kind of enthusiast on a forum.

 

But your acting like a bunch of bullies over a wounded prey. Surely we are better than this......

Someone told me FM acoustics power amp is not a good match with Magnepan? Anyone with this two brand experience ?

I heard the AS Saleman told my FM acoustics and Maggie wasn’t a good match due to the “impedance problem” , was worry that I brought the wrong pre/power amp for the MG 3.7i...... but After listen for 2 week , I think FM acoustics/Maggie although might not be a perfect matching combination, but is not a bad match either, sound quality is quite impressive actually, the FM acoustics mono block make my Maggie 3.7i mid bass become as punching as box speaker, sound is very lively and organic, I heard detail that I never heard before from many of the CD I familiar at, all the music I play sound so realistic , like Musician is really performing inside my music room ; but the downside of this combination is I feel the sound is little too “real”  too neutral and direct , it lack the sweetness and smoothness of my Cary 845 tube amp , and deep bass wasn’t as extend and deep as my Jeff Rowland 500W class D MONO BLOCK., maybe because my pre power is lowest end of FM acoustics, the higher end FM acoustics might not have this problem I hear .....now I am interested to know how Maggie will sound with ARC , heard this 2 brand are perfect match for each other ::)

Heard the 30.7s they are super damn impressive  for the price. No speaker I know comes even close for the money ......3-4 times the cost I still struggle to think of a speaker which offers what the 30.7s can. Anyone looking at the big  Rockport, Magico,Wilson,YG Acoustics etc really must hear  these..... color me impressed which does not happen often! Thanks for the kind G-man for making it possible. much appreciated

Congratulations on the 3.71. I am running the 3.6R on a Mcintosh MC500 SS amp and added two Rel Strata 3's for the low end. Amazing speakers, cant get enough of the air and transparency. With the subs, the dynamics are not too bad. Now thinking of some room treatment options.

Cheers

Its the look of meganpan that put me off....... SF is beautifully crafted. Maybe i will choose your maggies over harberth which you have also recommended your maggies in harberth's thread as well. We all get it that you love your maggies . Gary the maggies lover!

Who's this guy 

 

Raj, MG-IIs came in the following forms:

  1. MG-II ... 1973
  2. MG-II Improved ... ?
  3. MG-IIa ... 1978
  4. MG-IIb ... 1981
