mmgs are the best speaker for the money ever made. you can learn about acoustics and work to make them better. i,ve never heard a speaker do what they do. very unique and interesting.i,ve had b and w, ohm f's celestions, mb quart, mission,dcm,polk advent,dahlquist, kef, genesis speakers over the last 30 years with gear like mcintosh, luxman, decco, cyrus, nakamichi. magnepans are the most fun to listen to and unique transducers i,ve ever owned. i.ll get more gear but will always have a pr of magnepans, preently using emotiva gear for values sake and the results are very good. this is subjective obviously and i,ve never owned the super expensive gear like wilson and acoustic research but i,m sure they are incredible. but for value consider advents in 1976 for 300 dollars or mmgs in 2010 for 600. if you index the dollar value magnepan is a very ggod value
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.
