I heard the 3.7's for the first time this last weekend. I spent 2 hours grinning while listening to the music. Now I must figure out a way to acquire them.

I will be selling my perfect pair in a few months. They are just now breaking in (bass is more present). I will be selling these for a lot less than retail. |

Mike, Sounds like you you were right.... we shouldn't ask these kind of questions ... I just got home from work and put on some music and yes, the 3.7s still make me smile... look forward to you landing yourself a pair. Graham |

Help with advice for Martin Logan vs. Magnepan vs ??
I bought a Denon AVR-1912 about 6 mos ago; the room is 20x30 feet, hardwood, 11 ft ceilings. Now to buy speakers - went to a "high end" audio store and heard some B & W speakers, Focal. Asked about Martin Logan EDL Electromotion ribbon-type speakers (which get great reviews) as well as Magnepan MMG or MG12 - all of which they sell. The guy (an obsessed audio guy) said would not buy any of these ribbon speakers with an AV receiver such as the Denon - not enough power, will sound terrible, not even barely supply the speakers.
Correct? |

Maggies tend to need a lot of current to drive them well, even the smaller ones, I don't know about the ML Electromotions though. I would probably avoid the Maggies with an AVR.

Not familiar with your amp but if you are going to try out MLs or Maggies probably a good idea to take your amp in with you and listen. These speakers are demanding of amps and both will reveal the benefits of using better gear around them. Bottom line is they do some things very right and if those are the things that make you love hearing them and your current (accidental pun) amp is OK with planars for the moment you may want to run with it and as you change gear down the track let your system grow with the speakers... they are very rewarding of improvements Graham |
