Jim Winey (Magnepan) has passed away.

RIP, and my condolences to his family and friends. Yes, a true legend !

Sad to hear.  I recall when I first heard the MG-1's (I believe) back when I was a teen.  Walked in the demo room and did not understand all the fuss.  The I sat in the sweet spot and was floored.  Bought a pair for $500.  Not inexpensive for a teenager.  Managed to upgrade the crossover with mylar caps (back then those were the bees knees).  Jim was a great innovator and will be missed.  

It’s sad to read this. I sold Magnepans in the 80s. I’ve owned at least one pair ever since. They’re such great people up there at Magnepan. It all started with Mr. Winey. Proud MG 3.7 owner here. RIP

Maggie’s were the first panel speakers I ever heard and it was love at first listen.

RIP JW

legend in the hi fi world... stayed true to his beliefs and his (wonderful) products... r i p
