Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
Markpao, Regardless if they are used or not I am now their customer and I have a problem. In most great businesses they do what is necessary to get it fixed for the customer. I am now a full 5 weeks in and have yet to even get the cost estimate. W... 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
The cost to ship back to Magnepan was about a grand. $ 400 of it was for the custom wood crate and the rest for ground shipping via Estes trucking with appropriate insurance. I did not want to risk additional damage on the trip to Minn that would ... 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
Phasecorrect, You need to check you reasoning again. Doing me a favor? I am the damn customer period. It should not matter whether I bought them used or not. I am a Magnepan customer with a pair of damaged speakers. Doing me a favor? Are you kiddi... 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
Brownsfan,Thanks for your post. I've been so angry recently that I started researching speaker alternatives and as you say there aren't any good ones for anywhere near the price. I am wishing I had not sold the Soundlab M-2's we had. What makes th... 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
Honestly, this morning I felt like she knew or someone has said something to her because her tone made me feel that way. I could have been imagining it but that is what my gut was telling me. I love the company and the products. Audio Art here in ... 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
Magnepan just called. They inspected the damage and both speakers were damaged, not just the top one. The tweeters are ok but they will need to replace the aluminum trim rails on both, the wooden spacers, and the socks have to be replaced. They ar... 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
Buconero117, I agree completely. Magnepan has just let itself evolve at its own pace but has not kept an eye to the times. They are set up so they can not deal with repairs in a timely manner but don't seem to recognize the problem with that. They... 
Any updated break-in info on Merlin Duelund Upgrd
Stereo5, Thanks for the good insight. Just wish I had a dedicated room and I could just put on repeat for a month and then come back and listen. Wish there was a device to burn these Duelunds in before they are installed like a cable cooker. 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
Mapman, this has already been done multiple timesElizabeth, The speakers were purchased used. I thought that FedEx could ship them without damage to Richmond, Va. Once they arrived damaged, my wife and I decided that it was worth the cost of a cus... 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
To Davide256's comment....This has nothing to do with any litigation and not sure where you got that notion from??I filed a damage claim with FedEx the night we unpacked and discovered the damage. FedEx sent out their independent inspector and she... 
Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???
Thanks to everyone who responded (especially Brian). I bought the MG3.7's used from a very nice guy in New England. They were shipped via FedEx with ample insurance. I have a FedEx account and I arranged the shipping. When they arrived and we unpa... 
Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.
I can provide some input from personal experience. I had the exact same feeling about the Cardas cables as you do. I argued with Bobby P about it. I was a big JPS fan for a long time. I never heard Cardas sound worth a crap on any system I ever ha... 
Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.
Call the Cable Co. and have them send you a full set of Cardas GR and evaluate them. I have Bobby's full receipe with the Fila integrated and it is the best all around system I've owned. I've had Soundlabs, Maggies, Acoustats, Quadratures and Mart... 
Best preamp is no preamp: always true?
I think the accurate answer is yes and no. It depends on the system, components, and match-ups. I had a Wadia 16 based system directly driving a pair of Clayton monos and Quadrature DSP-5a's which was really nice. Currently, I have a pair of Sound... 
Audiophiles DO NOT USE DHL-READ MY NIGHTMARE
I put together an overkill package of documentation and sent that to DHL in Tempe this pm via USPS requiring a signature. I put a cover letter on it indicating that I will give them 21 days to pay me the $ 2K they owe me or I will go downtown and ...
