Magnepan MMG

Would playing Britney and Timerlake "tenderize" the speakers faster..LOL thanks for the suggestion,Im already have these speakers on the FM channel playing about 6 hours a day....

just be sure not to use the pop station for too long or else your maggies will be wearing low-cut jeans, pierced grills, and too much makeup while whining about thier cellphone minuits.

hehehehe

Maggies need tons of break in and it could take months of hard use til they loosen up and show all of their colors.

When broken in they will lose the forward and constricted quality and be more relaxed and extended and open sounding.

Right now the mids seems to be a tad restricted and the highs abit bright,somewhat shallow on the depth.I know MMG sounds alot better than this,my usuage is only about 14 hours so its basically still has alot of breaking in to do...thanks for all the responses......

I think the MMG's tend to sound a bit constricted and bright. I own them and like them a lot. I have mine mounted about 24" high on top of a couple homemade woofer boxes (using NHT1259 woofers, one per MMG). I use an electronic crossover ($500 from Madisound) and an amplifier for the MMG's, and an amp for the NHT woofers. Good sound for the money.
I was not impressed with the MMG until I heard them hung up in the air and crossed over to a good woofer. Wow, good value. In fact, to get better sound, I have to spend gobs more money. I'd enjoy checking into some horn speakers, but with the bewildering array of compression drivers and actual horns, as well as more crossover points...it gets to be work, not a hobby. The MMG/NHT1259 was easy!
