RE: Harsh vocals in Magnepan 3.7i

"at this very moment I have both 1.7's and MMG's in my listening room. I find the preferred/same (comfortable, not loud) listening level of the 1.7's about -1.5db lower on my preamp volume control than the MMG's."

I can confirm Dave's experience. With one particular recording and the 1.6 speakers, I used to set the preamp volume at 80dB in order to achieve ca. 70dB spl at the listening chair.
With the 3.7i speakers, and the preamp volume at only 75dB, the same recording produces well over 70 dB at the listening chair.

Only the speakers have changed; the equipment has not varied and the speakers are in the same position as were the 1.6. More sound absorbing panels have been added, which would tend to decrease the loudness. This is not the result of the 3.7i having superior bass, as the spl meter is A weighted.
