I'm a long time Maggie owner and fan but the 30.7s need a bit more work.

 

Like what?  I hope you are not going to say MQA...

My local Austin pal @limniscate just acquired Magnepan 20.7s to replace his 3.7i's, and even before they're completely dialed in to his space, I gotta say these are amazing speakers. 

 

Why mention this in the AXPONA thread? To see if there's interest in an AS field trip to hear the flagship 30.7's at Audio Consultants. See: https://www.facebook.com/download/preview/2442529889315049

 

In case the link doesn't work, I uploaded the PDF here.

I would be especially interested in hearing listening impressions of the 30.7's from those who own AudioLabs or ML's.

 "proper" cable??

 

Maggies are known for being insensitive to speaker cables... did they explain?

Thx - I'll just ask Wendell next time I talk to him.  He is not educated as an engineer, but is very technically astute.

 

Maggies are (or were?) almost totally resistive loads at ~~4 ohms.  Hence the lack of cable 'matching' needs, or insensitivity.  My own listening tests confirm this, if the math doesn't move you...
