    A-9 for Magneplanars?

    So I've nearly collected the entire communication series of components, I love the champagne and I adore the design. I want to have it be my central setup in my home so I can have it displayed as well as having it be functional. I know theres higher end stuff but I like the communication series...

    AMT vs Magneplanar?

    So I just moved into a new space and I'm looking to downsize my speaker collection a bit. Mainly I'm looking to get rid of either my Magnepan MG IIC's or my ESS AMT1C's. I like them both with maybe the magnepans being a tough better? But it's marginal and could totally have something to do with...

    Magnepan SMG Speakers - A Few Questions for Magnepan Owners

    Hello, I currently have the opportunity to purchase a pair of Magnepan SMGs from a friend for $250. He says there is no noticeable issues with them and that they‘ve been stored correctly as long as he’s owned them (8 years or so). I know these didn’t fare well in hot/humid environments, but we...

    Magnepan MG-1 Value?

    I am the original owner of a pair of these loudspeakers, and I am wondering what they are worth (?). They have not been used in roughly 10 years and there is apparently a short in one of the speakers (no sound). that said, with the exception of the plain black bases (a few scratches), the...

    old and new maggies

    i recently acquired a pair of MG1.6QR. Here is a pic compared to my MG1. While I like the 1.6 more, the older MG1 sound similar and don't give up much. If someone is looking to get into Magneplanar speakers, older ones can be purchased relatively cheap. They most likely will need work but...

    Magnepan 3.6

    Ok So I'm about to close the deal on a pair of mint Magnepan 3.6, they come with a pair of Mye Stands. So I just drop by for any opinion against buying these, as my first pair of electrostats. Are the 3.7 much better? How is the Quad ESL? Any other brand/model I should concider under the 2000...

    Magnepan 1.6QR repair question

    Hi everyone, I recently picked up a pair of Maggie 1.6QRs that were in dire need of some TLC. I'm currently in the process of regluing the wire loop ends back to the mylar but had a question for anyone that has had experience with Magnepans/their repair in the past. I found after opening up the...

    "Lobing effect" in Magneplanars?

    I've just been reading about the problem with placing bookshelf speakers intended for vertical use on their sides. The "lobing effect" caused when the listener moves off-axis and the sound doesn't arrive at the same time from the two (or three) now out-of-alignment drivers. But this makes me...

    Best subwoofer and crossover options to compliment planar speakers like Magnepan MG-IIc

    I'll soon be the proud new owner my first pair of Maggies, thanks to @hjames, and I'd like to understand two things as I await their arrival: 1. What are the best options for a subwoofer to handle the low end for these particular Magnepans? I've found some chat about Velodyne ULD and DD and...

    So i bought some sick maggies.

    I've wanted a pair of maggies for some time now. Thing is I'm cheap. I'm sure you understand. Most of my speakers came home from the thrift store - starting with the ADS L810's I picked up for $24 in 1995. Never seen a pair in a thrift store or pawn shop. I don't really spend much time in pawn...
