My Magnepan 1.7 have arrived....

[Sperandeo]

Six weeks after placing my order, my 1.7's have finally arrived.

I just unpacked them, put on the stands, and am breaking them in with the Miles Davis Kind of Blue 180g LP. I'm in a bit of shock....I feel like I have lifted off a veil that was on my MMG's.

It still to early for me to really give any real impression. I had to move them further away from the listening position because there is so much more soundstage and volume. What I would normally play at about 52 on my McIntosh C2300 can now be played at 42. I thought this would be the other way around because I have so much more surface on the 1.7's. While I am typing this I keep stopping and looking up in awe over the incredible detail and presence.
