Jim Winey (Magnepan) has passed away.

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

The Magneplanar 1-Cs was part of my first high end purchase. Spent several years trying to find the perfect placement. On the right night with everything seemingly dialed in they were magical.

Winey was part of the pioneering group that put this hobby on the map. RIP

Rest in peace Mr. Winey.  Great speakers, I've owned many models from LRS to 20.7. Great company, product and affordable models. Decooney thanks for sharing the interview.
