Right now, I’m most happy with my listening space - a dedicated medium-large, comfortable room. With just a modest amount of treatments, it adds no character of it’s own to the deep, wide stage that my little Maggies present. On good recordings, the instruments and vocals are and stay where they belong. Wither I’m standing or sitting in the sweet spot, right or left of the sweet spot or even lying down, everything stays fixed where it belongs. Since I do a good deal of listening at night, with very low lighting, my black Maggies, quite literately, do disappear.
I have to disagree with Wolf - even in the afternoon, in good light, the maggies call no attention to themselves and I find myself paying attention only the the instruments and vocals that take their place on a stage that extends behind and well beyond the speakers.
My main 2 way system:
Magnapan 1.7 - speakers
Rogue, Cronus Mag. II - integrated amp
CA Audio Labs, CL-10 - CDP
Thornes, D-105, with Audioguest, B-100M - TT and MC cart.
Silver Streak - ICs
Ted’s Excellent - Integrity 8 - Speaker cable
