I found that bi-wiring my speakers from the amp was a HUGE help. Especially since my amp is 20+ feet from the speakers.

Also, the speakers can with 'speaker stands'. These are beautiful wooden bases, with metal arms that come up at a 60 degree angle (in back) to hold the speaker steady. Does anyone use anything like this? Is it helpful to put on??

The only negative commenst I've got about them is:

1.) The sound stage is not as much of an improvement as I hoped. Also, imaging is not as as big of an improvement. I thought that the Magnepans were famous for imaging?? So, I guess that I'm not positioning the speakers correctly?? How do you all (who own Planar speakers) position them?

2.) The lower bass could be improvd. But, I knew that going into it.....

Besides these few things I love my Maggies!! Thanks for all your help!!

Hi Stan,

Great to hear your setup and going!

You've gotten some great advice already, the only thing I would add is to play with distance from the wall. Sometimes if you move it just 2 inches more you can get the bass to really come up at your seating position. It's all about the delay time that both front and back wave reaches you. Get it right and you've got 3dB more bass, wrong and there's 3dB less.
