Magnepan Gallery - Show us your system:

[mgard]

We thought it would be cool for those of us that are fans of Magnepan speakers to show your systems. It will be great to see what amps and preamps you have put together to make beautiful music. I will start with my underwhelming room and we can only go up from here.
I can't figure out how to add the pictures full size into the thread sorry. I am showing Magnepan 3.7i speaker, JL Fathom 110 subs and Mye stands which I have not assembled yet. I have the McIntosh C2300 preamp and MC601 amps. Other gear is by Bryston which are BDA-1, BDP-1, BHA-1 and APC power conditioner. Also you will note the white strip down the center of the back of the 3.7i after the upgrade. My room is 22' wide and 24' deep. Please show us pictures of your systems.

Nice rig, Mike.

I'll post my pics here soon.

Thank you Carlos. My room looks like a mental asylum, too stark. I definitely need to get some ideas from the rest of you audiophiles.

More pictures please.

Here is my 20.1 system, including MC2300 with Mullard 12Ax7 NOS tubes, Sanders Magtech, Modwright modified BDP105 with Tunsol 6SN7 NOS tubes and Linn Akurate DS. System also has a MC121 and 2 JL F110s used only for movie watching.

Brett,

That is a good looking system. Those all black Maggie's look like stealth bombers getting ready to strike! . I bet that mod'ed BDP105 sounds really sweet. I think you had mentioned you switched from McIntosh 601's to Sanders Magtech and felt it was a much better match. Thank you for posting.

The black 20.1s remind me of the black monolith from 2001 Space Odyssey.

The Modwright BDP105 sounds great, the Tung Sols match really well with the system and the 20.1s. The only problem with the Oppo is the streaming software, its way behind Linn.

On another note, I spoke with Dan Wright about his new Elyse Dac, initial reviews put it way beyond the 105, even better than the Meitner Dac's.

I spoke with Roger on the phone and in person, he had no issues with the MC2300 in front of the Magtech so no modifications were done.
