Magnepan 3.7i Phasing

Posted by rrahmanucla@gmail.com (A) on August 27, 2016 at 16:27:22

Hey Guys,

I purchased a pair of Magnepan 3.7i's recently and struggled to accomodate them in a oddly shaped room with terrible acoustics. Here is my set up...

The speakers are run in series with the subwoofer to enable use of the subwoofer's low pass filter.

Peachtree Grand Pre X1 => SVS Ultra SB13 =>Parasound Halo A21 => Magnepan 3.7i

I've tried multiple different configurations and positions of the sub/speakers, but couldn't eliminate a lot of the standing waves. Finally I tried switching the phase of one of my Magnepans. The measurements look slightly improved to me and I actually prefer the sound in this unusual configuration.

That being said, I wanted to get the opinions and criticisms of some experienced audiophiles on this configuration.

The orange is w/ correct polarity, the blue is w/ my R magnepan polarity reversed.
