Magnepan, Best midrange?


Other than Horns of course.
A few days ago on another audio forum, someone mentioned *why don't you ck out Magnepan??**
I wrote back, seems magnepan is OOB.
He was a  bit upset at my lack on reserach.
SEems Magnepan is still alive and well.
In fact there may bea  back log for the LRS 
Like months back order
Man , not sure why NO ONE here mentioned magnepan's???
Could this be the speaker I've been searching for some 20 years now??
Sure sensitivity is wayyy off my 92db sens limit. 
@ a  miserable 86db sens
However, conisdering the panel is 10x's the size of dual W18's + a  6.5 DavidLouis Full Range + a    Seas Cresendo, all added up, still is less voicing surafce area vs a the Manepan.

I'll run the W18's as bass, If I need extended highs, I'll add a  pair of Cresendos.
WOW and under 
$1G
Alott less, like $650!!!!!!!
Good thing here is, I have a  Defy7, power to spare for magnepan's demanding current draw.
Here is a  YT vid showing how you can modify the magnepan,, I;'ve not watched it yet, will do so today.
This Hifi Guy is the best hifi geek on Youtube.
He knows his stuff and has experiemented in countless speaker designs.
He's da man.
I can 't wait to get my LRS.

And gets even better, Made in the USA,, UNREAL.
If the LRS performs as hoped.
I will make a  long series of Youtube  videos, putting this speaker on the map,  promoting the Maggie as The Worlds Finest speaker.

Ck out all YT reviews of the Magnepan.
Every review gives 2 big thumbs up, 
Try to   that on any speaker on the market.

can;t

I;m broke
Spent all audio cash on
Thor upgrades
Full range experiements 

The Vox Project

:-((
Maggies require a little kick in the pants so to speak... To really sound good. I love them.. Always have.

WEll I always recall reading how planars needed big juice, so I forgot about these type of speakers. 

Some guy on another audio forum suggested I ck out Magnepan.
I told him, I think they are no longer in business.
He sent me the link to web and from there I  researched all night.
Ain't no doubt this is the speaker I;'ve been looking for.

*a good kick**, Yeah so i read.
WEll I have this Defy7 with some reserve power. 
Finally get to put it to use. 
Will run the W18;'s as bass.
Will look for a  electronic xover take out the bass = allows LRS to voice better mids/highs

@under $1G,, these  lil  LRS’ will sell like hot cakes on a cold alaskan miners camp.
Rumor has it, wait time is like 6 months out,
Could get alot worse if Magnepan is not doing anything to up production turn around.
Either build a new section or work 24/7.
