Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Magneplanar 3.7s (new) or much cheaper 3.6s (used). :-)) nt

Yea if you had read my initial post, you would have seen where I don't want panel speakers. I've had the smallest Magneplanars for 16 years now...they actually still sound better than new. I know the larger ones are better still, but I don't want to spend that much on "panel sound", no offense. The dipolar radiation is annoying at times (even though I control mine), the large wavelaunch isn't always welcome...and the tonal color in the midrange isn't lifelike enough. Sure there is tons of detail, and the sound can be delicate, nuanced, beautiful and addictive...I admit that. But it's not what I want. The better cone speakers can do enough of that for my taste, and yet they do things panels can't.
