New Magnepan

Well looking back through some previous answers I see that Gawdbless just learned about MG-1's a couple of months ago, so I am about 99% sure that is his only experience with Maggies, and has not heard any of the subsequent models in the intervening 30yrs, especially with good associated equipment. If you put junk upstream of Maggies, they reveal that it's junk.

Anyway, can't wait to see the new Maggie at THE Show, pretty cool.

Hey! I owned MG-1s for over 20 years and thru a factory rebuild. Sold 'em 13 months ago and bought more Magnepan.

I wish the new owner the best.

If I had the SPACE and 13 large, the 20.1s would be MINE, but could 'only' afford the 1.6s.

Would the new panels be a 'typmani ized', multipanel version of the 3 or 20 series?

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.

Gawdbless,

Your question a few months back was either disingenous, or you don't know anything about Maggies; Which is it? I tend to believe the latter. If you have heard them so often what was the point of your question regarding Maggies in October? Why don't you re-post it here a evidence of your expertise?

After re-reading that question and your assertation here they you have attended many shows and heard them, I am to assume that has been in the intervening 8 weeks since your post??

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.
