Old school speaker in new threads

Andrew Robinson did a nice review of these speakers last year. Check it out on YouTube...

 

I’ve almost purchased an older pair of Magnats on 3 different occasions but never did.  Never have even heard a pair, but the older stuff looks nice and comes up cheap on craigslist.

I think Magnat and Canton are in a contest to see who can have more models of speakers...

that Humidor Speaker looks cool too

Not bad, but definitely made to a price point. But you can get a used Cornwall I or II for about the same price or a little more and have the real deal.

Also not sure how you avoid comb filtering with those two tweeters.

I was a Magnat dealer many moons ago.  They were a completely different speaker back then.

I couldn't find any online reviews other than the ones on their site so I went and took a look on YouTube. They seem to have been around in foreign markets for about a year and some of the videos have very decent sound and some don't.

One said it would make you the worse neighbor 😄👍
They were using some $20K worth of Macintosh, which was overkill, but they did sound decent.

Another compared it's sound to some Klipsch Rf7 Mk3 and another to some Infinity SM255. In both, I preferred the sound of the Transpuls.

Another video just took them apart as much as they could and one can see why the largest is just over $1K. I'd like to hear them in the flesh before I'd commit.

All the best,

I like how they look too.Would love to hear them.

Those are very retro cool looking nonoise if they sound good too that's a great buy,
