Got bit by the Magnepan Bug
It is summertime, after all.
I recently picked up a pair of the 1.7 and they sound rather special in my acoustically treated 12x16 listening room. So special, in fact, that I'm seriously considering selling most of my other speakers (and I've got quite a few).
I had the MG IIIAs about ten years ago but sold them when I temporarily got out of hifi stereo gear. I liked them but don't recall how they sounded as that was eons ago in a different house.
I have so much gear I'm starting to tire of the volume and how it's taken over much of my house. It's beginning to feel silly and getting down to just one rig is appealing to me at the moment.
On a personal note, it appears growing up poor can have a profound effect on one's buying decisions, which I need to break away from.
Really diggin' the Maggies. And here I thought I was "monitor" guy.
