Yes they can be "troublesome" however they are well worth the effort- much like a high-maintenance girlfriend :o) Magnepan still repairs them and with MUG you can't lose anything you need help with you can find there. If you are getting a good deal and the rest of your system is up to the task of driving them go for it! There is a reason magnepan has the cult like following it does.
Are Magnepan MG-IIIa speakers problematic?
I have read on different postings how magnepans are difficult to setup, difficult to maintain, and basically are like a high-maintenance girlfriend or wife. I have the opportunity to purchase a pair of MG-IIIA speakers. I would love some feedback...Thanks...Also, can you still get support for them through Magnepan?
