| I nominate this company as building best speakers! ALL boxes distort sound. Pure electrostatics’s are fatiguing quickly. Horns belong at the top of a pole at the local high school stadium.You need to listen to Magnepan products if you want to listen to music.Cheers! | |
| Need speaker advice Magnepan.Cheers,Richard | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? ANY speaker except Magnepan's will give you all of that mess and more.Sorry, but that's the way the listening goes!Cheers! | |

| What did your system look like 30 years ago? Same as it does now except the Lux CL-32 pre is replaced (FINALLY) with an Audio Research SP-6B. Newly acquired Audio Research EC-21 will move the Hafler 500 (I assembled it in 1975 at my desk at my shop) to the bottom end--should be enough to dr... | |
