Jadis,
Your paparazzi skills amaze me. I did not even know you snapped pictures. The lighting was set for listening. I don't like to see much when I'm listening. I like listening with eyes closed.
Hi Phillip,
I just saw your post#32 now. Thank you for the kind words. You are welcome to listen anytime. I'm glad you enjoyed. Too bad you had to leave so early.
Hi Jadis,
Your paparazzi skills has not faded at all. I recall you had a photo topic called asses and lasses when we were still in university.
You can put the same listening chair in your music room. You'll just have to "bow" your Magnepan towards you a bit to compensate for the lowered ear level lounging in such a chair.
Interesting idea, Sam.
Hi Jadis,
Do you remember 5 or 6 years ago, I had a pair of Magnepan 1.6 that Super Mario ripped apart so that we can experiment and modify? One of the things we discovered is that they sounded best when tilted down towards the listening seat.
Hi Steve,
The frame that holds the Quads has a circular pattern. The middle part which is supposed to house the ribbon is the most forward part. Then both the lower and upper part of the frame slope backwards. It's now set up with the lower Quads more forward. That's the reason the upper panel is sloped backwards.
I set it up by just listening to the lower panels while playing with the tilt of the lower Quads. When it was right for my taste, I connected a short speaker cable to the upper part. The speaker cabling is done in series, from amplifier to lower Quad, then from lower Quad to upper Quad. The speakers are firing straight, there is no toe in. I'm still listening to the stacked Quads. No subwoofer. No ribbon tweeter.
