New Magnepan


Word is that Magnepan will premiere a new statement loudspeaker to replace the 20.1 at CES. Maybe a new Tympani?

Mac,
Speakers that actually have a sweet top end, and also a bit of wallop at the other end, what we audiophiles call bass!
..................Still only kidding.
Is this a rumour that Magnepan will make a speaker that actually sounds listenable?
Only kidding..............
I like Magnepans, and I did buy a pair of MG-1's because they very cheap (not kidding). I regularly visit hi-fi shows so have heard lots of speakers including panel speakers, so I guess my '1%' is correct and 'your 99% sure' is incorrect. Happy listening.
Mac,

I think I heard Maggies a the Denver 2007 (going from memory now), I think they were the 20's, if not then they were the 3.6's, they were taller than a door, or if you live in Texas more akin to a cat flap. The room was full of red wine and cheese with easy listening music ie 'jazz' being played for the very appreciative pipe and slipper brigade. I am not a big fan of Jazz and as the room was rather full and I did not want to upset the masses by asking for a bit of kick ass 'Rage against the Machine' at warp 10 volume.

My question going out to you maggie owners in October regarding an older model MG-1 compared to the newer models was because I am/was not familiar with this make of speaker (obviously) as anybody who has had them in their system over years and who have enjoyed them, and who know their weaknesses and strengths.

Happy New Year.
