New Magnepan 1.7 R

Did anyone else see the CNET article about the new Maggie's? It's a true ribbon 2 way speaker, wow. I had not heard anything about these anywhere before, or seen them at a show. Was the whole mini Maggie testing last year really about these?

I may have to break down and try these.

Any thoughts, or better yet, anyone on here who actully heard/saw them during the testing??

Fruff1976 says; "I also have some Proac 1SC's for nearfield listening, something the maggies were not very good at either."

A lot of us listen to Maggies in the near field, I'm in the very near field and don't have a problem. They actually work very well up close, you just have to be in the right position. I agree that most Maggies are not the holy grail but their strengths outweigh their weaknesses.

Thanx, Russ
