New 20.7’s

[tdotson41]

This is my second pair of 20.7’s in less then 2 years. I sold/ gave my first pair to my little brother. Reason being I wanted a different finish. I’ve had my new pair for a little over a month now and I honestly think the 20.7’s are the best bargain hi-end speaker on the market. My local dealer had me on the cusp of ordering a pair of Vandersteen Kēnto’s and I must say they are a great speaker. But to my ears a properly setup pair of 20.7’s beat them at half the price. Again I’m not saying anything bad about the Kēnto’s, I just feel for realism and natural sounding of instruments and voices, the 20.7’s won it for me. Now I have a treated room and have ordered new fuses and stands which I believe will further improve this great speaker. I’m driving them with the stereo version of the VTL Seigfried amplifier (S-400), VTL TL-7.5lll preamp, Linn Klimax DS and a Pro-Ject Carbon RPM 10 turntable. The realism is spectacular and the soundstage is wide and deep. Bad recordings are simply that bad recording. I find that this setup is a truth teller when it comes to that. No additives just straight music. If you don’t have the room or the coin for Magepan’s 30.7’s you won’t be disappointed with the 20.7’s. I’m truly in music heaven with all my favorite jazz musicians past and present. ‘Life is so much better with Music’

Congrats!
If my listening space was amenable to Magnepan speakers I, too, would be listening to them. I agree with you about their realism & "sparkling" presentation like no others. Of course..............

Fortunately my listening space is really only big enough for my 3.7i's. If was bigger I'd want 20.7's and have them further out into the room! I would get comments from the other half on that

Very nice. as is your choice of music.

Thank you

@mjs if your room or space is big enough for 3.7’s they will surely accommodate 20.7’s. Don’t listen to folks when they say you need enormous space for the bigger Maggie. I started with 1.7i’s and 3.7i’s and moved my 20.7’s in the same spot.

Congratulations on a great system. Do you listen to classic rock at all with the 20.7?

Maggies are hard to beat.... and even harder to part with.

Ive been looking for a set of speakers now for over 1 year to add to the maggies and just havent found the ones for me yet....
