They had two sets of speakers here. What was playing were these DSP ones (VPE Elevon) when I walked in:

It sounded good but one of the persons there manning the suite saw my "press" pass and assumed I wanted to hear the Magnepan 1.7X. So the room was turned around to do so:

As you see, I got the second row. :( Folks were pretty aggressive to grab the front row.

Volume was too low. Note that they had a sub playing as well.

Sounded OK.

As nice as they were to me, they really need better tracks to showcase the Maggies.
 
Amir, what are your general thoughts on Maggie's, given how they measure.

My subjective experience has always been a very diffused imaging.
