Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen

Salt and talk are cheap, You do have to admire the willful ignorance of a holiday inn speaker designer

salt and talk and steep slide filters are cheap Pistonic drivers in the pass band, not so much. 
To each his own on sound and value @noromance my offer stands and I guessing the vino is better here than at the hotel :-) oMG what a boring world if we all like the same stuff....

kenjit,
What is your speaker of choice???

If you truly want to hear a true maggi it must have their great ribbon the the 3.7 or 20.1 and they like a lot of current .

I never even look at specs, to me they do have a sound.  BUT I understand if others do.  That being said, you can get a pair of Vandersteen 5As cheap these days in the $6K range.  I never go by any dealer or show set-ups because they never sound as good as my system does.  For example, I just finished a Class A power amp just for kicks.  Put them on my Vandersteen 5As and I was so impressed how they worked together.  So far the best combination I have heard with them in my system.  I don't hear this sound when I go to a dealer.  So unless I can hear it in my system, I don't really have an opinion either way.

Happy Listening.

It needs to be custom designed
