What's Up with Magnapan at Shows?


Years ago, Magnapan presented an amazing 5.1 classical music presentation with Audio Research. Beautiful music, awesome sound, no gimmicks. Now every show they play the Wizard of Oz game with something behind a curtain.

I don't get it....just play music and let the consumer decide!

Magnepan is a little different. They have a vision and are hard nosed and driven with respect to implementation of their vision. That has worked well for them so far.
I got my first pair of Maggies in 1990. I'm now on my third pair. Last time around I spent two years trying to find something else I could live with. I could, for 2.5 x the cost of my new 3.7R's. End of story.
Their closed-door approach to regimenting demos at the shows just isn't worth the trouble, IMO-- and I once owned 3.3s.
I was at the CES last week and I found them very rude. They really seem to have an attitude. I don't know why because there sound at the show is just average. If you need a panel speaker try dealing with Sanders sound. They were very friendly and accomodating at the show.
