if you purchased the speakers from the dealer . Brought them home and wanted to return them after the sale . I could not see any dealer flatly refusing to do a return . Even here in Mpls , MN the dealer does not loan out the 1.7's . I was required to pay for the speakers in full . I told the dealer i had the 1.6's and if the 1.7's were not a huge step up i would be returning them . In the end i liked the 1.6 better and returned the 1.7's . Which the dealer obliged.Another dealer here is the same . you ask them for a demo and they state pay in full on credit card , return in time period and payment is refunded.
Maggie Disappointment
Not trying to bash my local rep, so I won't list where I live. Just wondering anyone's thoughts/experiences with Magnepan.
I listened to MG's about 12 years ago and was smitten, but the wife said no (small house). Now, bigger house, older kids, better pay...I'm thinking it is finally time. I listened to the 1.7 at our dealer; awesome. I even upgraded my amp to 250Watts a month ago thinking I would be moving to Maggies, and know they have a need for power.
But when I asked for a home demo from my rep(need to insure they work in my room, insure the wife is OK with them), I was told no.
Called Magnepan, as they have a deal to let people try them for 30days in areas without dealers. They'll even give you $100 to try them. But since I live in an area with a dealer, I was told no. Even talked to the marketing manager...still no.
I now just have a bad feeling about these. Very disappointed.
Thoughts? Suggestions on alternatives?
