New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing.


Why are new diaphrams buzzing and seperating from the frame?

Audeze. Pronounced like "odyssey", hence the name. How can you own them and not know how to spell the brand name?

Mike, You are not the only one I have heard that from regarding Audeze.   Some companies really do go above and beyond.  Grado, excellent service, Zesto ....unbelievable service.    

I wish the OP luck,  do manufacturers realize the damage control they could avoid by just taking care of customers?   Magnepans aren't my thing, but after reading this story I would tell friends or family to avoid Magnepans .   Honestly they really are a niche speaker,   I get that they have a unique presentation but there are so many great speaker companies out there fighting for your $$$$   

Honestly they really are a niche speaker,

The "niche" being people who want their music to sound like...you know....music.

That's true  oddiofyl, a lot of great speakers but Maggies don't have a voice coil glued to the center of the speaker cone impeding  it's duplication  of the complex musical waveforms. The  ribbon is more free to shape itself to the soundwave  that's being generated. I use a subwoofer sometimes to beef up the lowest register but the 1.7I'S  are so transparent in the midrange and treble regions that the  recordings sound different than  I remember. Even the best Lossy formats sound drab compared back to back with the same CD recording. No other loudspeaker I've owned has so immediately  pointed out the lack  of detail from CD (1411kb/sec) to, say, standard Spotify (160 / 320 kb/sec). Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" comes alive on CD compared to "Remastered" Spotify or iTunes. These guys are all about data bandwidth.To my humble ears, no paper mache or  composite  cone that's nailed down in the middle is free to dance freely in producing all the subtle sonic gestures. 

Magnepans are fine sounding speakers, but don't confuse a 50 foot paperclip, glued to a shower curtain, placed in front of some magnets to be 21st century engineering. Especially when they require the power of a super nova.
