RE: the two places I have heard them...

Hey, Mark!

Funny, we both heard them at Magnepan but the one's I heard were in Mark Winey's office with, IIRC, dual DWM's. I don't remember any boominess or sense of disconnection. Mark's desk faced out into the room whereas as I recall Sheila's faces the wall, that could have something to do with it.

By chance, I just read Steve Guttenberg's review of the .7's, and like you, he seems to prefer the .7's to the LS50's:

"Of course, some folks can't live with large panel speakers, and they will be happier with a small, high-end stand mount monitor speaker like the KEF LS50. It's terrific, but it sounds awfully small after you hear the Magnepan .7. The SVS Prime tower speakers sound bigger than the LS50, but the Primes are still no match for the .7 for producing closer to life-size music in your living room."
