people loved those advent speakers. this was the late 70s and at the store i worked at we even demo'd double advents stacked for listening. but the dahlquist dq 10s were the speakers that got me interested in the better stuff and thats when i found magnepans. somewhere in archives there is an article review, by Holt i think, lauding the advents.
Magnepan observations.
Heard my 1st Mags,in the mid 70s.Now i have a pair of MG-3.Have read many comments on Mags.Here are my own.They reproduce the music as it was recorded.After all of our tweaks,personal set up preference,and component purchases,many people are not ready for this experience.CD-R COPIES CAN VARY GREATLY FROM TRACK TO TRACK.Dont blame the MAGS.The bass response of the Mags is there.some people just assume they will need a sub or do not know how to listen.Yes Mags need a little power,but more important than watts per channel,is current the amp produces.You must give the Mags room from the walls and each other.You must be prepared for a long burn in period.I have read many comments where a person has sold their Mags,after only 3 to 6 months listening and complaining about how disappointed they are.I listen on average 6 to 8 hours a day.After 3 months the Mags are still getting better.All of us have a preference for a sound we like.Not everyone will appreciate the accuracy of, or the sound stage given by, the Mags.
