Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?

For a great price, try Jim Winey's entry level Magnepan's. They sound best hung up in the air or mounted on top of woofers of your choosing. And they are cheap. $300 bucks for the saran-wrap only model (mylar), or $550 for the saran wrap(mylar) with aluminum foil model (MMG). Kitchen speakers. Absolute genius simplicity.
You don't have to spend thousands to have good sound, but the wrinkle in these low end Magnepans is their need for added woofer(s). With those, they are mega-buck killers!

Magnequest, do you realize this thread is more than 4 years old with no one except us responding in the interim? I doubt the original poster really cares at this point. But I do agree the MMGs are nice sounding.

Dracule

Gee, I was hoping for some good responses here. The guy that sold me MY AeriusI's in Oct 2000 told me they would fill the Orange Bowl with sound and make your chest thump. So I brought out the biggest fruit bowl I have and put it on my head and he was right!!! But the highs were a bit laid back......hehehe.

Geeez. The original poster hasn't been around for 4 years. I'm sure he's been through 3 sets of speakers since then.

And then some...Many audiophiles go through systems like toilet paper. Sorry Willhitx, I think this town has been abandoned long ago. I thought it was amusing that Magnequest actually went back 4 years on this forum to reply on this thread. Magnequest, you've got lot of time on your hands buddy ;)
