7.2.4 Surround System with LG OLED TV. Magnepan 3.7i front with KEF for everything else. Very, very happy with my choices. All cables are Audio Quest and StraightWire. Audio Quest Niagara 1000, Richard Gray, Dedicated 20 amp circuit for the system. Crestron remote control is here but not programmed yet.
I'm a fan of Magnepans. I've owned MG1s, Tympani IVs, and MG3.5s in the past. Also owned a couple Parasound components (JC2 and JC5) - excellent value. Congrats on a nice system.
Man o man! I just can’t believe how good my system works with the new Magnepans! Every last detail with music and movies is more alive and detailed. In fact, I have the center speaker turned off most of the time with the Maggies creating the center speaker channel along with left and right for movies and it sounds great. I plan to sell the A31 and purchase the JC5 Parasound and we’ll see what happens. Thanks for looking.
I am interested in “jumpier” for Magnepan 3.7! I have the same speakers and using Audioquest “Aspen” cables now. Do like like using those jumpers and did Audioquest make them for you?
Very cool system, glad to find someone that has HT with Magnepans mixed with another speaker and has found one that matches well - will pass this on to my brother who has been vexed by this problem. Beautiful deck and view also!
I've had my 1.7i's for about half a year. If you can put them on Mye stands or Sound Anchors, it might focus your imaging even more - especially for two-channel. If you heard a difference when upgrading the tweeter jumper cable, you will probably notice better stands.
Thanks for including that detail about the LG OLED. I have a Pioneer Kuro, and will eventually be getting a new flat panel display myself.
You could occasionally swap out the KEF speakers for the Maggies as an alternative experience in 2 channel listening. If I had that capable of rear "surrounds" I certainly would!
