That sounds like fun -- it would be great to hear the 30.7's under ideal conditions, the way we were able to hear the LRS.I would like to return to Audio Consultants in the near future, and put the tweets on the inside. Now they don't have to worry about accommodating six seats across, two rows deep.
FYI, I clipped the Boulder amp when I was there by myself on Thursday night. Playing the theme from Shaft, at a loud volume but not a crazy level. However that track does have a lot of bass in it. I know I clipped it because the red light came on a few times.
The LRS sounded really special, I was truly blown away by it's imaging/soundstage. Just clear and wide open beat all the other speakers I heard at the show in that regard.
My 30.7s are in a 5 by 8 metre room and they work very nice. Sometimes to big a room is bad for the sound as the speakers struggle to fill the space with music.I'd not go any smaller than 30 x 23 x 11
i own the 30.7s and I cart image a mini 30.7 being as good. Maybe in some ways but not in other ways.there’s no way in my opinion the condos will have as big and effortless sound as the big 30.7s does.I also dont like the idea of dsp electronics and open baffle cone drivers.image all the dust that will build up on them.if you want better dynamics go for horn speakers.I have two different systems horns for pop, rock music and 30.7s for acoustic and vocal music.I haven’t heard one speaker that does it all.I did return to Audio Consultants back in 2019, was still looking for more dynamics and impact in the bass. I found it in December 2019, in form of the Mini 30.7's or 30.7's for Condos. The triangle shaped bass unit, dynamic drivers in a open baffle, plus some DSP electronic's for the crossover.
In my mind Magnepan had just fixed most of the problems of planer bass. Dynamics, impact, volume and low frequency response all were greatly improved. As one young man said who entered the room after the demo over and heard only one jazz song "best Magnepan's I've ever heard", I agreed wholeheartedly.
Also I did not hear one negative thing about the 30.7's For Condo's, however my time with them was short.
I agree to this as well. on a very high quality recording the sound on my 30.7s is just stunning.I haven’t heard a better speaker.In every review of Magico speakers in The Absolute Sound magazine, Valin compares them to lower priced Magnepans, and concludes the Magnepans are closer to his concept of the absolute sound.
So much for the idea that the higher price speaker is always better!
Maybe I miss it. What amps are you using?I agree to this as well. on a very high quality recording the sound on my 30.7s is just stunning.I haven’t heard a better speaker.
I use mcintosh mc462 power amp mc53 preamp and mt10 turntable With audience front row cables.Maybe I miss it. What amps are you using?
