Magnapan MMG

I bought a pair for exactly that reason. I put them in my bedroom to listen to when I go to sleep. They have a very pleasant sound even with my 15 year old Luxman Integrated amp. In a small room, these speakers have plenty of bass, for my taste at least. However, they do not play very loud. They are worth the money, but Magnepan is always behind with their orders. It took 5 months to receive my speakers. Happy listening.

I bought mine four years ago, and had them in less than a week. (I've since bought and sold several more expensive speakers)............Well, if you have a wimpy amp, they won't go very loud. I use mine in a small room with correct ASC and RPG acoustic treatment, and they'll traverse beyond 100 dB at the listening position indefinitely with my amp (500 watts/channel rms into 4 ohms). The louder, the better, to a point. They're AWEsome, and at least the best speaker buy in the world, if not beyond. They need many hundreds of hours with a powerful amp to break in, and you need to do some simple mods/bypasses to get true highend sound from them (no soldering necessary). I augment mine occasionally with the Sunfire Subwoofer Pro (same as Mk 2), and feel that this combo betters the Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 system, at least in my small room. $1,700 (including sub) versus $17,000; hmmmm......I feel that to go without buying these (especially considering their price), would be like a vow of celibacy before a year's stay at the playboy mansion. HOW CAN ANYONE NOT OWN THESE SPEAKERS???? It is a shame that everyone doesn't.

To Carl_eber (on 5/25/00 posting) would you please tell me what kind of mods/bypasses you've done that don't require soldering? So far, I've raised the MMG's 2ft off the floor. thanks
