I have the chrome rail MMG's and have been pleased so far. The only thing I have to do is wipe off the fingerprints. I cannot comment on whether mine are more rigid than the wood framed models but I can assure you that there has been no compromise in quality. Thanks for the resistor tip Carl, I have a bright untreated room and will slip in the small resistor as soon as I get home. I am listening to some new Homegrown Audio silver interconnects and need to tame the sound until they break in anyway. Once I treat the room I will try the silver wire/fuse swap as well.
The NEW Magnepan MMGs??
Hey guys, I called Magnepan today to order my MMGs and when I asked for black on black, they asked me if I wanted the wood trimmed ones or the new black anodized aluminum trimmed ones. Well I figured since I have 60 days, and I like the more modern looking items that I would go with the aluminum. Anyone have the aluminum ones and have anything to say about them? Anyone have the wood ones and want to give me your opinions on the merits of wood vs. aluminum? Let me know what you guys think, I am curious of your educated (or semi educated, heck even uneducated ) opinions. :) I'm just wondering if maybe magnepan made these because they are cheaper this way... I worry that perhaps I am getting in inferior product than the standard MMGs... Anyone think the aluminum might change the way they sound in comparison to the wood ones?? I'm sure they will be a large improvement over my current speakers, but I'd still like to know more. Nate/Singinius
