Fantastic read as I prepare to drive an hour and buy a set of used Magnapan MMGs........! I wanted to order the LPS but talking to Magnapan I was told a 19 week wait. I hate waiting and 19 weeks puts us right in the middle of fishing season and not much time spent indoors....
What really interests me is, Magnapans are not known to the General "Best Buy" public. Those that are buying the LPS, I would think, are usually an audiophile on a budget.....Folks that have always wanted "Maggies" but simply couldn't afford them. With a 60 day return policy, its a wonderful way to experience a "flat" speaker in your own home.
But this said, there are zero returned speakers available for purchase out of the hundreds upon hundreds (maybe thousands) that have been shipped. Are Audiophiles on a budget this tone deaf? I would think most folks buying these would have something reasonable to test them against. I can't believe but a very small percentage are buying these as their first speakers.
I own a V6 Toyota Venza......The reviews are horrible.....It does everything wrong!......It is the only car I've ever owned for over 10 years and 125,000 miles because it is magnificient. Every year I test drive other and stay with this horrible Venza. (I'm a car nut with an 1987 911 Carrera, BMW 550i and Mercedes C350......Even my wife like the Venza!)........I've actually convinced a whole bunch of friends to get one......
Can't wait to get the MMGs and see what the fuss is all about..........Thanks again for a great thread!
