RE: Magnepan 1.7 or 3.6 -small room!

Posted by stefano.cipo on August 8, 2021 at 02:13:39:
Thank you very much for your advices. Unfortunately the 3.6s I'm hunting come with the dark cloth, but I guess it could be changed if needed.
At this point given all the feedback received I will just listen to them and if I'm convinced will get them without worrying too much about my room.

By the way, I'm also considering as an alternative the Tuscanini Augetta, a planar speaker from a small Italian company based in Tuscany. They have the same technology as the Magnepan, just with better materials, neodymium magnets, two separate mylar membranes for mid-bass and mid-highs and better crossover components. No ribbon tweeter by designer choice.
I had a chance to listen to the smaller Idillia (as big as the Magnepan 0.7) and they were impressive in the bass, they went lower than my ELAC FS409 and were extremely dynamic, nothing Magnepan can compete with. Looking forward to listen to the bigger brothers.
