Magnepans are "fun" especially if you are a true hobbiest. The basic models offer unparalled value, and there's the fun of having friends over who are mystified that athe music is coming from 2" thick speakers that look like doors. Moreover, they are easily tweaked out- outboard active crossovers, biamping and for the DIY types, bypassing internal XOs, etc.
what are"fun" speakers?
Is it just me, or is it that when people say speakers are "fun" they mean it as a left-handed compliment, kind of like, "these speakers sound pretty good for being so CHEAP". I don't think I've ever heard Wilson's referred to as "fun". I guess you gotta be pretty serious when you listen to those puppies.
