Re: Phantom center channel

Magnepan speakers have an advantage of being dipole speakers with sound emanating front and rear so reflecting off the front wall plus ideal setup sets a small sweet spot due to toe in and really dials in a big and strong center image. Not all box speakers will have that type of performance and make a center channel speaker unnecessary.

I tried my 1.7is without a center speaker and wasn't disappointed, but wasn't happy with the relative loss of dynamics for home theater when compared to L800s for mains and a L400 for center.

But, I'd be happy with using the 1.7is and the pair of Rel S/510s they pair with for a dual music/movie system if I needed to.

There’s a fella on YouTube that has a buyer in Japan selecting the top condition tables for him to bring into the us.
He totally rebuilds and upgrades them to last another 20 years.

Do you have a note of this person's youtube channel?

I agree with @skipshot12 . The higher end tables of that era were something special.

That's nice. What's that little clear piece on the plinth on the right?

Absolutely,

Search captmark09 on YouTube.

I purchased my KP-9010 from him a few years ago.
Does absolutely top notch work on his overhauls and also starts with extremely beautiful condition tables.

The YouTube guy the I know of goes by Capt. Mark. ( https://www.youtube.com/@captmark09/videos)
Others report good things about him.
I got mine from HiFiDo direct from Japan. Refurbed.

The plastic piece is the stylus guard for the AT-OC9ML that's on the table right now
