Beating AI on Netflix and HBO for single people with wide ranging taste. Problem is you keep getting the same old choices, and want unusual new choices. Like romance from a female perspective that is .......

Simple in theory, but takes time. For listening spot to speaker, just sit in the listening spot, and hold the laser firm to your chest, press the button on the laser and measure. For the other speaker .......

I notice a lack of lower frequency bass below 45 Hz on the 3.7 compared to older 3 series. The older 3 series can go down to 30 Hz with the right power amp and setup. Never noticed any lack of coheren .......

A laser will give the same exact placement for left and right speakers. Distance from front wall and toe-in angle will be the same. You still need to measure and listen at various positions, but they .......

Sit in the sweet spot and measure\, then set, equal distance, between left and right speakers to within fractions of an inch. Slightly off, and right on, makes a big difference! Ther are many inexpens .......

Posted by j c maxwell on 2022-05-29, 14:13:08 (68.46.23.175)
Absolutely not as deep bass over the 3.6 and prior Magnepans after long comparisons IMO. The IIIa model blows the 3.7 and 3.7i out of the water in deep bass. And the previous 3 series could be Bi-ampe .......

Posted by j c maxwell on 2022-04-28, 15:16:25 (172.225.140.133)
5.1 is a gimmick IMO. The picture is in front, and stereo audio is more natural and blends better with the picture, when setup properly. The audio sound field should match the visual image, not fight .......

Posted by j c maxwell on 2022-04-22, 15:41:57 (68.46.23.175)
Saltwater ocean air is bad for Magnepans. The older tympani's had frames that warped, and used early generation glue. Another factor is playback volume being too loud. I rarely playback at more than 8 .......

I bought a MG IIIa in 1987 and still use it in my home theater. No delaminating and perfect "like new" sound today. Best sounding and lowest bass of any 3 series Magnepan due to the largest bass/midra .......
