Do your 400's handle them well?
One of my favorite albums. I think it will be in the next listening session...PF, Wish You Were Here, a friend brought it over, said it was intense and it was cranked on the 901s. I will never forget that.
Ah......the dreaded hum monster..... We may have some cheap 700's here in a bit so unless you run into a killer bargain ya might hold off for a bit...

I'm gonna order the sub and amp later this week, what are you guys recommendation for tweeters? I've heard the "No highs, no lows, must be Bose" shit, and the lows are definitely lacking; but I must say, there seems to be almost to much highs. May want to try the Soundcrafter EQ I have after all? I have tried changing all the settings on the Bose EQ, doesn't seem to make any difference. Maybe it's busted?
Got the tape monitor button in the right place?
Not sure. I may have it hooked up wrong?
Interesting thinking about going from Bose 901 I to Magneplanars. This is going for the arena rock concert to the piano jazz bar. One has the sound all around you pounding you and the other, well close your eyes and you can see the stand up bass player off to the right has on a Blue Tie.
The comment about adding a sub to the 901s...at a tweeter bank too and use those 901 drivers as midrange units. OK I'm done.
When I was selling we had the 901s, TimeWindows, DQ-10s, Magenplanars and Epicure 3.0s. So making the 901 to Magneplanar move to me is the most extreme of the speakers I'm very familiar with, even to this day as I have MG-IIIa, TimeWindows and just picked up some DQ-10s a month or two ago.
I've had the 901s, later series, III, I think and the first time I heard PF, Wish You Were Here, a friend brought it over, said it was intense and it was cranked on the 901s. I will never forget that. Maybe a 12 x 12 room Crown DC-300a and a turntable that would take all of that sonic impact and not miss a beat. Awesome.
A most awesome and informed post!! Multi-driver small cone driver vs. large planar's are extreme to decide. I'm an electro-stat guy, big power ampstruggling to output a 2 ohm load to a thin piece of mylar that uses the air in the room as well as the walls to give you the 'bumps' get's the stumeister's junk in a major knot
I miss my Martin Logans so much
Bought right Magneplanars are a very nice speaker but they won't slam the way many other speakers can. But the clarity is amazing.
