"quality issues"? The only one I know of is that the old speakers had issues with UV light rotting the glue that held the wires to the diaphram. But that was only after about 15 years or so. I know for a fact that glue was changed and improved many years ago.
Best speakers for about $2000 a pair
I was looking at the Magnepan 1.7's but not real thrilled about some quality issues I hear about Maggies. So, what others should I be lookoing at. I tried out some Klipch WF-35 and they are just to bright and not much for soundstage. I can drive just about anything.
