Magnepan needs your help
I have a condo in Carlsbad, Calif and would love to host Wendell and ten or so avid listeners, chat w Bruce at Stereo Unlimited the local dealer, fun.... vino and smoked salmon on me :-) Only ten???! I'm in Redmond, WA and would happily host as many as Magnepan can draw to my dedicated listening room. BYO. LOL! |
Doesn't Magnepan have competent in house listeners, and years of experience to judge for themselves, what sounds good. Why ask for the opinion of the average audiophile at a dealers setup, which turned out to be useless with the 30.7 road trip? How many 30.7 speakers were actually considered for purchase by all the 30.7 road trip listeners? The audience was just curiosity seekers! There are many people that just do not like panel bass, because they listen to music "live amplified" through boxes, and want that sound at home. |
They already know how they sound and several reviewers have already listened and confirmed that it equals the sonics of the 30.7. Here's the second report and it sounds killer: https://www.hifiplus.com/articles/coming-soon-maybe-magnepans-compact-307-for-condos/ So it isn't a finished project and the tour it isn't about drumming up sales. This speaker is a significant departure for Magnepan, so they want to find out whether customers and dealers are interested in buying or carrying it and to solicit opinions on things like cosmetics, which is why Wendell is asking everyone who attends to post their impressions online. It's more like a focus group than a sales tour. Then the reactions will help them make a decision on whether to proceed with the project before they invest in the industrial design and production engineering. |
