I am trying to create an arc with a 3,7 and two bass panels from Tympani IIIa.
I still have fond memories of hearing tri-amped T-IIIs back in '74. :)

Please post Jim's Maggie set up tips here.
Good question. Wish I had a good answer. Jim's book is a comprehensive look at all aspects influencing the reproduction of music. He emphasizes making the distance from speakers tweeter to listeners ears exactly the same for both speakers. Primary assumption through out book is that the recommendations are for speakers with tweeter and mid/woofer being in vertical relationship. He recognizes that there are differences when the tweeter and the mid/woofer drivers are arranged horizontally as with Magnepans but does not address those issues. My question was and is how do I measure the distance from the Magnepan tweeter and midrange panel to my listening position. If I measure perpendicularly from tweeter and midrange panel they will never converge at my listening position. Do I disregard the midrange measurement? Do I compromise and split the difference between the tweeter and midrange such that each is on opposite side of my head but the same distance? I just wanted to replicate Jim's set up but can't seem to get to first base. Joe Fagan
