MG12s modded by Peter Gunn at Magnestand. Definitely the best money I've ever spent on equipment. The electronics come and go but the speakers will stay! In fact neither of those racks reflect the latest change in gear.  :green:

Yes Mr.Gunn does great work, for me Magnepan is the second best bargain in audio.

I did a little fooling around to get the 20.7s to sound right in the room.

So Steve, do you use the ceiling fan for a Leslie Effect?

$20,000 and guaranteed never to disturb the neighbors (or make any sound at all).

What does your "fooling around" have to do with the sound in the room??

It put me in a better mood...

Getting a cheap rug, moving the cabinet into the center and taking a CD carousel upstairs really made a big improvement in the sound.
I had to rotate the rug 90 degrees to get things to sound right to me.  It's funny how such small changes can make such a large change in the way things sound.

P.S.
Lynda's comment:  It doesn't sound any worse than the other ones!

A friend of mine had the Levinson HQD system with Hartley sub woofers. Before I met him he was a legend in the audio stores in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, in the Late 70s; how he bought the system with Bryston amps and everything blew up, mylar panels - amps, due to the speakers needing voltage limited power. 

Later I got to know him on a friendship basis. He had sold the speakers and later bought them back again. I briefly heard them. They were so much a head in the vice speaker that Acoustat 2s seemed like freedom. Like move your head 6" and you were out of the zone. I never heard it set up like I would have and was not impressed. He later sold the speakers and bought Apogee Divas. He kept his Hartley subs though.

Thats not why they blew up, the brystons were not stable enuff driving those stacked quads ....:)

Where those all Acoustats? Is the first one 2+2's? I like tall slender stats.... my ceiling is only 8.2ft tall though...

Have you guys heard the Wisdom stats?

The top of the line models come with bass bins the size of refrigerators! And they sound amazing....

But I would hope so, as they are $120k!
