If you live in the Chicago land area you could audition my pristine pair of 1.6's that would give enough of what 1.7's would sound like and look like in your room. Just give me a call at 219-365-4316.
Maggie Disappointment
Not trying to bash my local rep, so I won't list where I live. Just wondering anyone's thoughts/experiences with Magnepan.
I listened to MG's about 12 years ago and was smitten, but the wife said no (small house). Now, bigger house, older kids, better pay...I'm thinking it is finally time. I listened to the 1.7 at our dealer; awesome. I even upgraded my amp to 250Watts a month ago thinking I would be moving to Maggies, and know they have a need for power.
But when I asked for a home demo from my rep(need to insure they work in my room, insure the wife is OK with them), I was told no.
Called Magnepan, as they have a deal to let people try them for 30days in areas without dealers. They'll even give you $100 to try them. But since I live in an area with a dealer, I was told no. Even talked to the marketing manager...still no.
I now just have a bad feeling about these. Very disappointed.
Thoughts? Suggestions on alternatives?
