| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? I have owned so many Maggie’s over the years yet with all they do so well I have always come up short somehow.

| speakers with balls Use to own Maggie 1.7, loved them but don’t blow the doors off. Own Zu Omen Def and friends cannot believe these speakers with Sabbath, Rush, Daft Punk. I think the Zu Def with the built in subs will take you ( and I ) to the next level. They are ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? In absolute terms there are companies that deliver better sounding cables than others. Absolutely. Do you think once you purchase a cable worth thousands that it’s price plays head games with your ability to properly evaluate your purchase? | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I do agree that differences exist and I do agree they can be heard.
