Theatre - Magnepan 7.0 (3.5x2) Bi-amped

Magnepan 7.0 - actually it's 3.5Rx2pairs

Description

This is my study room system.

I got the Magnepan 3.5R at good price and I can say this is my best purchase over the years even compared to B&O Redline.

I think those who have listen to them need no more explanation on how good they sing. With bi-amping, the performance got to another level. As my amp for bass is a integrated, it allow me to adjust the bass volume and this compensate for it's slightly mellow bass.

I tried to Active bi-amp it and it should be the way to go. With the DSP equalization, I can adjust for the dip and bumps in the response curve to make it perfectly flat response.

Everyone come to my home feel like the singer sing in front of them. Bass in Bob Marley's song was slamming the door!

Simply magic for about 4K total I spend in the system.

This 300-disc changer features an 8x-oversampling digital-filter circuit that combines excellent phase linearity with superb suppression of aliasing noise to yield better stereo imaging. The four Hybrid Pulse digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are designed to place the DAC and digital filter on a single integrated circuit. A digital servo-control system maintains stable tracking, laser focus, and disc rotation--all with high precision and low radiated noise. I use it with MFA324DAC

Jeff,

Terrific system - especially for only USD 4K!

Smart move to bi-amp with the SS (hybrid) handlng the bass. Knowing how your Opera sounds, no doubt this should be one sweet system with nice sold bass to boot. IMO, the Opera kit is really very good value for money - well built and wonderful sound quality. You should happy with this system for a long time coming.

Cheers,
Garry
