@cleeds, richopp is obviously unaware that were both tall and/or boxless speakers long before Magnepan introduced it’s original model the Tympani T-I in the early-70’s (which I bought in ’73. I currently have a pair of T-IVa), including the 6’ tall KLH 9 (an ESL, reviewed by JGH in the October ’68 Stereophile), available for years before the Tympani was introduced. And he doesn’t even seem to know that there are today MANY planar speakers other than Magnepans, including the bargain-priced ($2499/pr) Eminent Technology LFT-8b, a real MG1.7i killer.
Magnepans or...Martin Logan
Dear All, ....sorry very interested but only newby.
Could I have insights on which to choose - up to USD 2.500 - and the reasons. Used or new. Brand and models.
Live in Santiago, Chile so very high addtional shipping and insurance costs - at least double. Furthermore no possibility of local testing - no models available -...so I must get it right blindly first time.
Type of music I listen to: Folk, Jazz, Movies, New Age.
Much appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards !
Robert
