Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers?

Stand near a tympani, conga, bass drum, low note organ pipe register, etc. and tell me that the perception of bass physicality is "bogus."??? No one's talking about shaking your neighbor's car windows down the block, just attaining a sense of realistic acoustic energy energy in a room at normal levels. I think most who've listened to Maggies long feel that they have to be listened to rather lively volume levels get them to sound alive and fully present. Elizabeth's living situation makes what is a deficit for me a positive for her. Different strokes for different folks, etc.

Adding a couple of Vandy subs(the fastest ones) may rectify their negatives tho.

Have always sounded bright and unnatural to me; I used Quads for 30 years and Apogee also so have nothing against planar speakers. But what do you care what other people think? If you like them they are good and if not they are bad TO YOU! Don't buy what others like, get what you like.

I'll hang with Stanwal and his comments, yet Elizabeth was quite spunky with her comments. Always trust your own ears.
