► MAGNAT TRANSPULS SPEAKER REVIEW
If you’re looking for truly big sounding speakers or new speakers that look vintage, the Magnat Transpuls 1500 speaker should be on your list. These big bass speakers for home are under $1000 a pair. If you look past the budget build quality, these Magnat speakers compete favorably with far more expensive speakers like Klipsch Forte IV and JBL L100. Those who want affordable really big speakers (vintage sounding speakers), watch this Magnat 1500 review.

Ok…so I’ve had these for a few days and everything Andrew says is true. I literally can’t wait to blast music on these things in my listening room. Whatever amp you throw at them sounds phenomenal. Willsenton R8, Emotiva a300, 2 Schiit Aegirs in monoblock off a Freya+ preamp, even my little Decware zen triode sounds gorgeous on these things. They are gigantic and the bass response is just chest thumping without being boomy. My cherished Klipsch KLF20’s have been neglected since I got these and I ADORE my KLF20’s. Just a shit eating grin on my face as I blast every genre of music on these behemoths. Thank you for the recommendation Mr Robinson!!

@brentonratcliffe956 2 года назад

I bought a pair of these Transpuls 1500s in Australia in April 2020, when the Government gave everyone a "one-off" stimulus cheque of $750 - as a result of the outbreak of the pandemic. I have a large room that's heavily damped, (i.e. without room treatments) making it quite difficult to pressurize sufficiently. The Magnats sensitivity and size were an instant draw card for me, because my previous speakers couldn't cut it, even with a 290W per channel (into 6 ohms) Yamaha M-80 power amplifier in my system. Let me be clear - these are a 4 ohm speaker, so you'll need an amplifier that can handle a 4 ohm load, but because their sensitivity is relatively high, you won't need to push it as hard as you might with other speakers. Although they're claimed to be a front ported bass reflex cabinet - the back of the ports are actually plugged with a foam material. Technically they are therefore an acoustic suspension enclosure, which means that the bass is tighter, but doesn't go anywhere near as low as the 16 hertz that Magnat claims in their specifications. I use two "servo" subwoofers to augment the bass, even though my speakers are right up against the wall. In addition, these speakers are far from being neutral. Kristi was right about the "suck out" in those frequencies necessary for hearing dialogue clearly, but the Transpuls 1500s can be easily made to sound however you like - with "Dirac Live" Room Correction. Are they a baby Cornwall for budget enthusiasts? Yes ....... definitely, having lived with them for eighteen months now, I think they'll suit the "budget-conscious" buyer, who'd prefer not to fork out their life savings on the Klipsch.

@johnwheat5199 2 года назад

I only went to buy an amp, it was hooked up to a pair of these, I was so blown away, I bought them. They are a very capable speaker for the money. They have some serious grunt, but can also sound surprisingly refined. But you are right, placement is everything. They are an amazingly versatile piece of heft though, I was amazed how close you can back them up to the wall without booming.

@TSVtube 2 года назад

Andrew and Christi, thanks for this recommendation! I bought these couple days ago and was blown away by their performance! I am not an audiophile and use these primarily for my home theater and occasionally listening to music. Regarding Andrew's comment about poor packaging for shipping, mine arrived nicely packaged (guess they took your feedback and improved). My setup may be a bit weird/overkill but here is what I have: A Denon X3700h powering a pair of these with a Definitive Technology CS-9080 center and a SVS PB-3000 in a simple 3.1 configuration. I plan on adding a pair of Definitive Technology BP-9060s along with 2 A90 atomos modules to try a 5.1.2

@agustinduenas5902 2 года назад

I watched your review a while ago and have been thinking about them during the past few months. I already have the Klipsch RP8000Fs and just love them. However, I was attracted to these speakers because they remind me of a pair of Pioneer CS63DX speakers I owned in the late 1960s. I loved those speakers. Those had 15 inch woofers as well but were sealed and didn't have enough cabinet depth for bass to match the size. I ordered a pair of the Magnats a week and a half ago and received them two days ago. I just love these speakers. They go deeper than the RP8000Fs but still retain full and clear sound in the midrange and treble. I was worried about the packaging based on your comments but they came double boxed with no shipping damage. Somebody must have been listening. Thanks for turning me onto these speakers. I'm having a great time listening to them right now.

@mazag13ggd 2 года назад

How does the Magnats sound compared to the 8000’s other than the deep bass? Which one you prefer better with music?

@agustinduenas5902 2 года назад

@@mazag13ggd I enjoy both, but they are slightly different. The 8000Fs seem slightly clearer in the midrange and treble and soundstage better, but both integrate the bass, midrange and treble extremely well. However, the Magnats just have that big speaker sound that I don't have with any of my other speakers. I often play Chocolate Chip Trip by Tool to determine extent of soundstage. The 8000Fs definitely reach further to each side. Center image is locked in on both. I'm enjoying both, each set in a separate music listening room. The Klipsch is now priced much higher. I actually have two pairs of 8000Fs, which I bought months ago for $517 (25% off at the time) each from Crutchfield. I use the second pair of Klipschs in a 7.1 home theater setup and the first one for music listening exclusively. The Magnats are still at $1,000 for the pair. A great bargain at that price.

@rckwales 2 года назад

I own a mint pair of cs63dx. I've never used them! I'll take a wild guess and say the magnats are far superior but wow the old pioneers look good.

@shanecabbage2187 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your comments and review. I am currently debating between these two (RP-8000F vs Transpuls 1500) to replace my 20 year old Bose Acoustimass. I am FINALLY using a Klipsch 12"sub to augment the low end. So, if I may ask your opinion, since I will be using said sub along with my new purchase (eventually), which would you recommend? And do you make that same recommendation given the $600 price difference (value vs performance)? These tired old Bose do not have any liveliness to them; they do not sound bad, but they definitely do not present a live sound stage. Also, considering size: how much different are their dimensions? I recognize that the Magnats are wider and the Klipsch are deeper, but overall, how do they present themselves visually, and how "invasive" are they to the room? Definitely looking forward to your insight. Thanks and God bless.

@shanecabbage2187 2 года назад

Well, Agustin, I guess I really do not need your answer anymore; I just purchased the RPs in piano for a price I could not pass up (~ same as the Magnats) with a much classier presentation, at least for my application. And don't worry Andrew, this doesn't mean I'll stop watching your videos. Always another possible upgrade in my future.

@gijsvanhoogstraten4378 2 года назад

Hi Andrew and Kristi, big fan of your channel. I wasn’t planning on buying anything new, since I was on a budget. Until I saw this review. I’m breaking them in as we speak with my decware zen torii mk iv. If the mids and highs open up a bit more I’m sold. And they have already improved greatly since the first record. Compared to my tannoy xt-f8’s they lack a little brightness, but they only have 8 inch drivers, so it could be that the excessive brightness was due to lack of bass. Anyway, even with a little less of mid and high the magnat sounds so physical, especially with the tubes. I don’t know what a high end speaker is supposed to do exactly, but these baby’s really draw you into the music and this is after ~20 hours break in! Haven’t heard a klipsch cornwall, but if they a little more mid and high, and imaging and detail, then this is definitely the budget version of that. Thanks and regards from the Netherlands, Gijs

Went through rage against the machine on klipsch rp280f that I got last week. They on sale $800/pair. If you lay into the volume throttle they balance out better top to bottom and go nice and loud. Not loving them as much for low(er) volume but I have bookies for that kind of work. And still have placement and room considerations to experiment with. Bought them after your endorsement for their replacement rp8000f and am happy I picked them up. Would make killer HT set if I ever watch media again and stop listening to music for one second

3 month update. I replaced audiolab 6000 Play with used Yamaha AVR RX-V767 (bought it for $100) and my setup is pure bliss now. It seems that i prefer the "Yamaha sound" as Andrew and Kristi mentioned that Yamaha has specific audio signature. Audiolab is great but i vastly prefered songs i played on my second setup in living room that was powered with Yamaha AVR, so i decided to try out Magnat's with Yamaha AMP and boy was i right, much much more enjoyable setup for my music taste (mostly electronic music). I remembered, the only person who has to like the sound of my system is me. Best advice (regarding audio) ever.

@rotaks1 2 года назад

@@haasii took time to acclimatize. I replaced the double impacts. The speaker sounds exactly like Andrew and Kristy described it. The bass is shocking deep. I disconnected my subs. The mids are recessed compared to my DIs and that took time to get used to.

Glad their actual service and technical expertise seems good.

I used a place in Oregon last time, and they did OK on another Sony, but considering Just Audio due to lower shipping costs to and from NC.

Awesome, I wrote a while back that I wanted to see you review these. Now, the only pair missing - which I would love to see you review - is the Swedish Dynavoice DF-8's (its their top of the line hifi speaker that is also < 100 USD, in fact I believe it is cheaper than the Transplus, and it is smaller/taller, and perhaps more refined up top and not so much punch down low)... Good job with the review! I still would love a short segment of audio where you play something that makes the speaker pop, just a short clip... With the right kind of mic and setup, you actually CAN feel / hear a difference even through the funnel of madness that is watching speakers play music on RU-vid.

@Amnesio I currently have 820 + SVS PB2000 Pro. When i get 1500-s i will be able to tell you more what "sounds better". What i heard of RP-8000F is they are head and shoulders above R-820F, and if Andrew in comparison says that Magnat are better than RP-8000F i expect significant jump comming from R-820F

@goran.radulovic 2 года назад

@Amnesio I just received them and been breaking them in last 48 hours. They sound fantastic, Bass is unreal, far far better than R-820F, deep and confident. Midtones to my taste better than Klipsch. I struggled a bit with R-820F to understand the words, Magnat voice is very cleanly defined and understandable. I paired Magnats with the AudioLab 6000 Play. Match made in heaven, except in higher volumes (last 20db) when everything loses composure and starts sounding mushy. Not sure why i am experiencing this, is it room acoustics, amplifier working near it's maximum, or combination of both. That beeing said, i would never go that high for everyday listening. For parties i suppose much stronger amplifier would be needed. To summarize, far best speakers i bought ever. Not regreting a thing by buying them.

I may just HAVE TO JUMP...these sound like fun. I have no hearing deficiencies and I am used to a lighter upper-end with the Tannoys, so why not?

We have these in our small DJ room where we host parties and it slaps, especially when you're DJing right in front of them (the crowd stands behind you). No need for a subwoofer with these as their 15" cones absolutely bring the bass. I don't know if I would use them at home in my apartment because they are LOUD and can be heard even outside of our setup and easily 50 metres away, but if you have no neighbours and want some fun these are definitely a great bang for buck!
