Quiet Introduction of the Magnepan 1.7i

It seems that Magnepan will even *pay* you to audition these speakers - no kidding!! Check out this link:

That's gotta be the smokin' deal of the decade, and the decade is only 5 years old... !!

RW, that's quite a loss-leader but their confidence may be well founded. It's strange really because you wouldn't have thought they needed to have an offer like this. The danger is it may open the floodgates for those who just want to claim the 100 bucks...

I'm a long-term Martin Logan user but the 3.7i is one impressive speaker. Something of a giant killer. Soon as I heard it I started making plans to own a pair. The only thing that would stop me is if someone on A'gon offered me a pair of MBL101s for free.... ;^)

Mmmmm, MBL, mmmmmmm!

/End Homer Simpson mode*

Man, I *loves* me some MBL. I just responded to a "What would you buy if you won the lottery?" thread on AA and my answer was MBL all the way. Their stuff is to die for, IMHO...

First Time I heard MBL 101's in Germany I felt sick knowing I'd never have that much money. No joke .

The first time I heard the MBL 101's in Germany back in 2005, they were only 30,000euro if memory serves me right. Yeah, same experience, went home to listen to my then new B&W 800's and felt as if I was missing that homogenous sound and spaciousness. Till this day, I treat rooms with absorbers, diffusers, etc., to give me back that experience.

Moonglum, I think this would be more trouble than it's worth just to claim the $100. You'd have to pay for the speakers outright first..and take them home for 30 days.

Sounds like a fantastic marketing plan by Magnepan. This offer should get a few people off the fence that were considering Maggies.

I can just a modern day pair of grifters like Kramer and Newman trying to figure out a way to con Magnepan out of multiple Franklins.

Mitch, I couldn't agree more....and good manufacturers deserve success.

The only downside for me is that I'm ineligible because I'm in the UK :(

Swampwalker, ...Kramer and Newman are in New York City. I just
don't think they even have the testicular fortitude to even
walk into any of the high-end salons there.

....but Boston is another story. Harry The Hat would milk
this for all it's worth. He'd hit every store in a 30 mile
radius.
