If you have sufficient room, amplifier, and permission from your spouse—and don’t listen to a steady diet of heavy metal—you cannot do better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDoes the 30.7 Require a Big Sound Room?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal line source would be like a narrow pole---very narrow and from floor-to-ceiling (with no mass). With real-world materials, Maggies aspire to this ideal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImagine if we repacked the 30.7 tweeter\/midrange in a 10 inch-wide panel and sold it with small dynamic woofers (that could be hidden). Such a hybrid would have all the problems that have plagued all hybrids, but there is no acoustical reason it would not work in a small room (the only issue would be aesthetics.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, the bass panels of all Maggies are big. The 30.7 bass panel is huge. And, yes, there is a acoustical problem with putting a big woofer in a small room: excessive midbass (deep bass is seldom a problem).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have solved the problem of excessive midbass. The 30.7 has adjustable midbass control (in addtion to mid and high frequency adjustments). If you can handle the aesthetic issues of big panels, there are no acoustical reasons you can not have a 30.7 in a smaller room. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA word about setup: whether the tweeter is on the inside or outside, the tweeter should not be closer to the listener than the bass section. Measuring from your seated position, if the bass panel is 10 feet, 6 inches, the tweeter should be at least 10 feet, 7 inches (think in distance, not angles).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Power Response, and why is it Important to Music Reproduction?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWendell Diller explains why Maggie's have superior power response and how you can conduct this listening test at your local dealer in this video.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrim Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan title=\"Magnepan 30.7 Planar Magnetic Floorstanding Speakers\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/4236\/0556\/files\/download_480x480.jpg?v=1645399849\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNow available with the X Upgrade! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick here to view the X version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe general idea of the ‘X’ program is to take the existing design of a given speaker, and simply, almost one-for-one, replace all of the components leading up to the driver, with superior ones. This yields a noticeable, graphable, and awing improvement. There are certain model-specific features, but the MG___X Upgrade Program is at its core characterized by the following factors:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBetter Capacitors -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e All capacitors that aren’t already, are replaced with high quality, copper-rich, polypropylene capacitors [banks].
